This study examined how automated tax services effected revenue generation in Nigeria using data from the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the State Board of Internal Revenue experts/practitioners. To achieve the goal, two research hypotheses were constructed to guide this investigation. The data were evaluated using straightforward percentages and tables, and the Chi-square statistical tool was employed to examine the research-formulated hypotheses. A standardized questionnaire served as the main method for interviewing staff members of the State Board of Internal Revenue Offices and the Federal Inland Revenue Service. The data were thoroughly analyzed, and it was shown that there is a considerable correlation between automated tax service payment and government-generated revenue, as well as between automated tax service and system acceptance. In order to maximize the initiative's anticipated benefits, the study's conclusions included some recommendations for the federal government to create strategies for informing businesses on the specifics of automated tax services payment through Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), state board of internal revenues.
