The findings from this research provide evidence that, foreign direct investment to GDP percentage regression result shows negative significant, Industry sector in percentage of GDP positive and significant, Inflation negative but not significant, Per capita income has the positive sign which is significant, and saving interest rate have positive insignificant impact on tax revenue.
