Federal Taxes like companies Income Tax; Witholding tax on companies;
Petroleum profit Tax; Value Added Tax; Education Tax and Capital Gains tax

be over-emphasised. Because of the importance, the strategies to effectively
generate the revenue from Value Added Tax requires careful examination.

the government would lead to much higher VAT collection in Nigeria. The
proposition profers some recommendation and also suggest some implementation
strategies if adopted would lead to higher yields from VAT collection. It also
conclude that the Federal Inland Revenue Service needs the understanding
and cooperation of the VATable persons and support of the Federal Government
to create an enabling environment for effective VAT collection.
