This study assesses the relationships between tax revenue mobilization and three of its predictors in Zambia. The three predictors are external debt, FDI inflows and copper prices. Secondary data for the predictors came from the world development index database for the years to The ARDL approach is used to model the long and short run relationships between tax revenue and its three determinants in this study.

External debt and copper prices both had positive significant short run relationships with tax revenue. The study makes several recommendations for policy makers, tax revenue collecting authorities and practitioners as well as for scholarship. Advanced Search.
