Abstract- This study is about the determination of the fluxional relationship between Internally
Generated Revenue and the cost of collection in Cross River State with a view to proffering cost
minimization measures. The research is focused on the possibility of finding an optimum level of
collection in an era when all tiers of government have been forced by circumstances of the
dwindling fortunes of the Federation Account to look inwards for a sustainable model of fiscal
operation. Secondary data was obtained from the Cross River State Board of Internal Revenue,
the State Budget Department and Ministry of Finance. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze
the trend and relationship between Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and collection cost in
Cross River State. Trend analysis was also used to find if the increase in collection cost resulted
to corresponding increase in revenue.
Keywords: internally generated revenue, fluxional relationship, collection cost, off-shore sourcing,
outsourced collection, tax education, sensitization.
