| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to establish relationship between tax revenue and economic growth in Uganda from 2002 to 2011. The specific objectives of the study were to determine the level of tax revenue in Uganda, find out the level of economic growth in Uganda and the last was to establish the relationship between tax revenue and economic growth in Uganda from 2002 to 2011. The study found out that the level of tax revenue in Uganda has been increasing over time since the coefficient on tax revenue was positive with Beta =10.23933, this significant increase is attributed to the several government policies that have made it possible to attract all forms of tax collections in Uganda. The results however indicated that the level of economic growth has been decreasing over time since the gradient of the linear regression model was negative with Beta = -0.099697, thus; the relationship was found to be insignificant. Based on the results, tax revenue was negatively correlated with real GDP growth rate (r = -0.0246) and the null hypothesis was accepted leading to a conclusion that there is no significant relationship between tax revenue and economic growth. The same results are supported by the linear regression results which also indicate that tax revenue has no significant relationship with economic growth. (F = 0.00 < than F critical 0.05, 1, 8 = 5.32 and P value = 0.946> sig = 0.05). We accept the null hypothesis at 95 percent level of confidence that there is no relationship between tax revenue and economic growth. The study recommends future research on the role of tax revenue in attracting investment in Uganda, and on the impact of Uganda Revenue Authority towards economic development. | en_US |
