This research examined the nexus between taxation and sustainable development in Nigeria. The study’s specific objectives were to investigate how company income tax, petroleum profit tax, and value added tax would affect sustainable development, measured by per capita income, in Nigeria. Secondary data from 1994 till 2022 and sourced from the annual report of the Nigerian Federal Inland Revenue Services was utilized for the study. The sourced data was estimated using the Vector Error Correction Model. The unit root test showed that all the variables were stationary at first difference and the Johansen Cointegration revealed a long run relationship among the variables. Findings showed that company income tax, petroleum profit tax, and value added tax positively and significantly impact per capita income. The research, therefore, recommended that the government should ensure that tax funds are utilized for infrastructural and economic developmental objectives as it would facilitate Nigeria’s economic development.
