Inconclusive results arising from empirical evidence on the link between trade liberalization, exchange rates and tax revenue, serve as a motivation for this study. The study investigates these linkages in Nigeria over the sample period 1980-2016. It finds that only term of trade poses a substantial effect on the long-term tax revenue in the country, whereas trade liberalization, exchange rate and inflation rate are driving factors that influence short-term tax revenues.
