Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which objectives set by government (Nigerian) on tax revenue generation are being achieved. In doing this, however, it critically evaluates the comprehensive tax policy – right from reforms to final stage, tax incentives and how they have or have not made the actualization of the policy easier. Furthermore, the paper also evaluates the adequacy of the relevant tax laws as well at its loopholes in the system. In addition, the revenue generated over the years is looked through. Using data of 12 years’ period (2000 -2012), the revenue generated is compared in relation to budget, actual and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country. It concludes with suggestions/strategies of improvements in the system towards increasing tax revenue generated.
