Increasing demand for prov1s1on of urban and rural infrastructures and other expenditures have
dictated governments at all levels and world over to raise funds through taxation. In Nigeria, Lagos

internally generated funds. This paper assessed the provisions of the law and determined the effects on
stakeholders. In doing so, a process of inferences, interviews and evaluation of the law were carried
out. The study found great disadvantages of the law, and recommended appropriate basis to determine
