Abstract
The study examined the effect of corporate tax on the financial performance of Nigerian listed consumer goods companies from 2011 to 2021. A sample of sixteen (16) consumer goods firms was used for the study. Secondary data source was generated from the annual reports of the selected firms. The random effect panel regression results revealed that company income tax negatively affects financial performance. The study also revealed that education tax has a significant positive effect on financial performance. While Value Added Tax (VAT) has a significant negative effect on financial performance. In conclusion, corporate tax has a statistically significant effect on the financial performance of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Based on these findings, the study recommends that to leave enough net income in the hands of the listed consumer goods companies, the federal government should offer more tax exemptions that will lower company income tax payments.
