The theoretical framework of the study was anchored on the expectancy theory of taxation and related literatures to the research work were reviewed. The data for the study were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. Based on the analysis, the study found that value added tax has significantly affected government income in Nigeria; value added tax has significantly affected consumption patterns in Nigeria and value added tax has significantly affected the level of imports in Nigeria.

In addition, the tax revenues should be properly distributed so that economic growth can be harnessed, especially in providing basic social amenities as well as infrastructures in Nigeria.
