new term, VAT was added to the Economic of Nigeria. VAT which stands for Value
Added Tax is a multistage consumption tax imposed on value added to goods such

reviewing textbooks, journals, magazines and articles dealing on value added
tax and other related topics. This review was aimed at giving the readers a
fair idea of views drawn out from other writers on the subject matters for the
