Peurce in the Macmillan dictionary of modern economic gave this definition also, tax is the transfer of resources from the private to the public sector in order to accomplish some of the nation economic and social goals. It is a compulsory levy by the government of the country through an approval agent usually the Federal Board of Inland Revenue (FBIR) against the income or wealth of partnership, company or individuals.

Taxes are the most important source of the government revenue and the major means of financing government activities for the benefit of the citizen of different countries. Tax play a relative minor role in the ancient word for instance, consumption wee levied on Greece and Rome. 

These not worth tax were confirmed to real property but they were later extended to other element of net worth. Taxes are used as a means of raising additional fund. In time of war, taxes of net worth are usually temporarily imposed. Real estate transactions were also taxed. In Greece, free citizen had different tax obligation from slaves and in Rome the tax law differs between national and residents of conquered territories. 

Taxation come unto existence at different data at various part of the world. In Nigeria it was in 1904, in the early days government impose tax on raise revenue only to cover the cost of administration and defense such as the maintenance of low and other home, takes are no longer imposed merely to cover unavoidable cost of service provided by the state.

It is thus, a way factor of promoting the government over all economics and social objective for objective. 

For example, taxation is used nowadays to achieve economic growth to fight depression, inflation and deflation to achieve equitable distribution of income and wealth of the nation. Also to allocate revenue in socially desirable manner, to discourage the consumption of certain within the country and to ensure that the balances of payment of the country is in a healthy position.
