Background to the study 
Revenue accrues to the government through diverse sources which include grants, foreign aid, government's direct investment in commercial ventures, and taxation. Taxation may not be the most important source of revenue to the government in terms of the magnitude of revenue derivable from it but it is the most important source given its consistency and certainty. 
Taxation is therefore a compulsory levy by the government through its various agencies on the incomes, capital, or consumption of its subjects. These levies are made made on personal income such as interests, dividends, business profits, commissions, and salaries (Anuebunwa 2010: 10). Taxation tends to influence the decision of businesses at all levels, it affects their financing decision, investment decision and dividend decision. High taxes can influence business decisions in several ways: they can reduce the number of business births by discouraging those who might otherwise form new businesses. They can also slow down the rate at which small businesses are able to grow by making it difficult for them to finance a rapid expansion, they can weaken the desire and the ability of small businesses to survive as independent enterprises by making the gains from a merger look more attractive than the income to be derived from continued operation.
Statement of the problem
According to Roche 2015: 5), Corporate taxation is of great concern on investors' decisions and hence in economic growth and employment. Depending on the nature of tax, taxation may have a positive or negative effect on business decisions. A high marginal tax rate will be a disincentive for business while a lower one will be ah incentive to work. Roche (2015: 5) further affirms this by noting that complex taxation deters foreign investors, curbs entrepreneurship, drives out local investors and results in deadweight losses due to tax avoidance costs and tax compliance costs. Friendly taxation however, stimulates entrepreneurship, encourage local and foreign investors 
organization. Tax which is a form of liability is a broad area in management, and financial account, and it is handled with care as the financial position of every business organization will definitely be affected based on how tax matters are managed.
The ability of an organization to effectively and efficiently employ various techniques to avoid and reduce tax burden is imperative.
