Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, yesterday declared that a modern tax system must not only prioritise efficient revenue collection, but also fairness, accountability, transparency, and trust, noting that “taxpayers must have confidence that disputes will be resolved fairly, promptly, and without unnecessary administrative bottlenecks”.
The minister spoke while unveiling the Office of the Tax Ombud’s website, toll-free call center, and case management system in Abuja.
The initiative aimed to strengthen taxpayer protection and improve dispute resolution in the fiscal system and remains a key to ongoing tax reforms aimed at improving fairness, transparency, and compliance.
