The results of OLS revealed that increase in total actual revenue and value added tax (VAT) raised economic growth of Adamawa state. The coefficient of total actual revenue and value added tax (VAT) were statistically significant and consistent with the theoretical expectation. The F-statistics values in this study indicated that total actual revenue and value added tax (VAT) were jointly and significantly affecting economic growth of Adamawa state at 1 percent significant level. It can be seen from the result that economic growth of Adamawa state was highly susceptible to change in VAT than change in total actual revenue as shown by their coefficients in Table 4.0.1. This study also found that the major factor affecting economic growth of Adamawa state was value added tax (VAT) administration. This study, therefore, recommended that more attention should be directed towards effective administration of VAT in order that meaningful growth and development can be achieved in the state.
