1.2 INTRODUCTION
A tax administration represents key resource allocator between the public and private sectors in a country, it is usually imposed on individuals and entity that make up a country. The funds provided by tax are used by the states to support certain states obligations such as Education system, Health care system, Pensions .for the elderly, Unemployment benefits, Public transportation, etc. A nation tax system is often a reflection of its communal values or the values of those in power. To create the system of taxation, a nation must make choices regarding the distribution of the tax burden about who will pay taxes, how much they will pay and how the taxes collected will be spent.
In Nigeria, the taxation system dates back to 1904 when the personal income tax was introduced m northern part of Nigeria before the unification of the country by the colonial masters. It was later implemented through the native revenue ordinances to the western and eastern regions m 1917 and 1928 respectively. Among other amendments in the 1930's, it was later incorporated into, direct taxation ordinances no. 4 of 1940 since then different governments have continued to try to improve on Nigeria taxation system.
