Abstract
The purpose of this research was to develop a computerized process of applying for and paying
for stamp duty. This is simply a change in the process of assessing, that is, knowing what you
supposed to pay and for what instrument and actually paying for stamp duty. The study critically
analyses the manual method of collecting stamp duty in Nigeria and uses ideas so gathered to
design a new site (Electronic Stamp Duty Payment System) for use by the Tax Administrators in
Federal Inland Revenue Services, Credit Officers in the bank, insurance companies, hire
purchase companies, taxpayers/clients e.t.c. from anywhere across the country for payment of
stamp duty. The new site allows the Admin to login, create instrument type, verify declared
instrument, authenticate a document, generate stamp certificate, view property status of
instrument and generate account report. Also, the new site allows the clients to login, create
account, declare instrument, make payment, track instrument declaration status, view property
status of instrument and apply for duplicate certificate. The system was analyzed and designed
using object oriented analysis and design methodology. It was implemented in java using eclipse
development environment IDE. Other tools used for the application are unified modeling
language tool (UML) for analysis and design, HTML, CSS and mySQL database management
system for permanent storage of application data. Innovations in the new system includes: online
application for duplicate stamp certificates, certificate authentication facility on the FIRS web
portal to allay fear of fake/counterfeit certificates and automatic generation of stamp certificate
removing fatigue of physical embossment.
