The House of Representatives will today (February 12, 2025) debate the four tax bills transmitted to the National Assembly in 2024 by President Bola Tinubu.
Recall that on September 3, 2024, Tinubu transmitted four tax reform bills to the National Assembly for consideration following the recommendations of the Taiwo Oyedele-led Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms.
The bills include the Nigeria Tax Bill 2024, which is expected to provide the fiscal framework for taxation in the country, and the Tax Administration Bill, which will give a clear and concise legal framework for all taxes in the country and reduce disputes.
Others are the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Bill, which will repeal the Federal Inland Revenue Service Act and establish the Nigeria Revenue Service; and the Joint Revenue Board Establishment Bill, which will create a tax tribunal and a tax ombudsman.
A lawmaker privy to the development disclosed this to our correspondent in confidence.
“They will be debated today,” he said.
