CHAPTER ONE
1.0INTRODUCTION
1.1BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The importance of revenue generated to the Local, States and the Federal Government cannot be overemphasized. Its importance to the Federal and State Government in recent time promulgated and introduced policy reforms in the country through taxation laws and policies which is our major source of revenue generation. This can be seen not only in the introduction of new tax, the Value Added Tax (VAT), but also in the improvement of the administration of non-oil taxation with the main objective of substantially improving the generation of revenue and sources as well as to reduce to the barest the nation’s (the local, the state and federal government minimum inclusive) dependency on the oil sector and sources of revenue generation.
According to Ola (1984), income tax is one of the major sources of Revenue to Government in Nigeria and it is a factor to be reckoned within both the local, state and the federal government budget, the primary purpose of taxation is to raise revenue to finance government capital and recurrent expenditure. Furthermore, Ayua (1999) noted that “There is hardly any government today that does not relay on taxation as a measure not only to provide for the much needed revenue for socio-economic growth and development but also to reduce the inequalities of wealth in the society. Taxation be it capital gains, tax or petroleum profile tax, personnel income tax, levies, fines etc as a source of generated revenue in the hands of government is used to achieve economic growth, fight depression and inflation in the economy, achieve equitable distribution of income and wealth, allocate resources in a socially and desirable manner so as to ensure that the balance of payment of the country, (the federal, states and local government) are in a healthy position. In Orumba local government there was an increased enlightenment on the need for citizens to pay their taxes promptly as a means of revenue generation in state, the state government during the last military regime took steps further to institute a task force to accelerate revenue generation in the state, all in a heel to raising revenue to budget standard which has always been falling below measure or budgeted.

The ever increasing cost of running government expenditure on revenue generation in terms of the provision and maintenance of utilities and amenities coupled with the dwelling national economy due to inflation and pressure on existing infrastructure facilities such as school, hospitals etc. due to population increase has left government with no other option but to source for and raise fund internally or within the areas of jurisdiction and the only way of doing this successfully is through taxes from every taxable audit and sources; imposition of fines and levies.
