Secondary data were sourced from The National Bureau of Statistics Reports and Federal Inland Revenue Service Reports from 2019 to 2022.

Findings from the empirical analysis showed that Company Income Tax had a negative and not significant effect on Gross Domestic Product of Nigeria with t-value of -1.884830 and p-value of 0.0599.

Therefore, the study recommends that government should organize trainings, seminars, and workshops for tax administrators, Nigerian public, students in higher institutions, and firms on the importance and benefits of taxes on economic growth in Nigeria. There should be more introduction of technologies and e-channels that will speed up optimal tax mobilization in Nigeria. The Nigerian government should effectively and judiciously use the tax funds to improve the capital and recurrent expenditures, infrastructures, and the wellbeing of her citizens.
