President Tinubu to Sign Four Landmark Tax Reform Bills on Thursday

-



President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to make a bold move in Nigeria’s economic restructuring by signing four major tax reform bills into law on Thursday, June 27, 2025. This marks a critical milestone in his administration’s plan to simplify the tax system and enhance revenue generation.


The new tax bills were developed by the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, led by Taiwo Oyedele. The bills aim to address longstanding issues such as multiple taxation, tax evasion, and poor coordination among tax authorities across the country.


The first is the Consolidated Tax Reform Bill, which merges overlapping tax laws and removes redundant levies. This will make it easier for businesses and individuals to understand and comply with Nigeria’s tax regulations.


The second is the Tax Administration Bill, which standardizes tax practices at the federal, state, and local levels. This will reduce duplication and streamline the entire tax process.


The third bill, the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, replaces the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) with a more autonomous and efficient Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS). The NRS will have broader powers to collect tax and non-tax revenues.


Lastly, the Joint Tax Board (Establishment) Bill introduces a unified oversight body for tax matters and includes provisions for a Tax Appeal Tribunal and Tax Ombudsman. These structures are meant to protect taxpayer rights and resolve disputes quickly.


The signing ceremony will take place at the Presidential Villa in Abuja and will be witnessed by key government officials, including ministers, lawmakers, and state governors.


These reforms are expected to improve Nigeria’s ease of doing business, increase investor confidence, and boost government revenue through more effective tax collection.
