Abstract

This project investigated the effect of electronic taxation (E-tax) on revenue generation in Nigeria, focusing on non-oil revenue sources. The pre and post study employed an ex-post facto research design, using secondary data from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and Central Bank of Nigeria Bulletin covering the period from 1994-2022. Population sample used the enumerative census approach to obtain data on company income tax, value -added tax (VAT) and education tax respectively. Descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests carried out revealed that while there is a positive, though statistically insignificant impact of the E-tax system on revenue generation, significant improvement in tax productivity have been notified. This study fills a gap in existing literature by providing current data and insights into the effectiveness of E-taxation in Nigeria, contributing to the broader discourse on E-governance and digital transformation in tax administration.
