Abstract
This study is to investigate the effect of thin capitalization and double irish, sandwich strategies of tax avoidance on economic growth of Nigeria, a sample of selected respondents was drawn using the convenience sampling within Nigeria. To achieve this, the sample consisted two groups, the tax payers and the tax officials, while tax payers included managers, CFOs and employees of private sector, the tax officials were selected from the Federal Inland Revenue Service FIRS . Descriptive analyses technique was employed to rank the selected tax avoidance strategies based on the responses obtained from each group while the multiple regression estimation technique was used to determine how each strategy affects economic growth in Nigeria. The descriptive analysis revealed that thin capitalization and double irish and sandwich strategies have significant inverse relationship with economic growth in Nigeria. We therefore recommended the need for a critical review of the Nigerian tax laws to take care of loopholes in the tax laws, and the contribution of other professionals such as accountancy firms and public tax officials should also be checked by the government by breaking the monopolistic tendency of these accountancy firms and ensuring that public tax authority is well funded.
