adsThe Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has urged government-owned enterprises (GOEs), state governments and public institutions across the country to strengthen tax compliance and improve remittance transparency under the new tax regime as part of efforts to boost national revenue generation and fiscal sustainability.
The call was made during a National Workshop on Strengthening Tax Compliance Under the New Tax Regime, organised by the Government Business Group of the Government and Large Taxpayers’ Directorate in Abuja.
Speaking at the event, Madam Amina Ado, Executive Director of the Government and Large Taxpayer Directorate, said taxation remains the foundation of the social contract between government and citizens, stressing that efficient tax collection is critical to funding infrastructure, healthcare, security and other essential public services.
According to her, the workshop was designed to deepen collaboration between federal and sub-national governments, while also addressing compliance gaps identified in the course of NRS monitoring and audit activities.
“This Workshop offers a good platform for critical stakeholders at federal and sub-national levels to engage, share insights and forge stronger alliances in a bid to optimize revenue collection across our nation. As we navigate through the changes of our evolving tax landscape, the importance of the government ministries department and agencies (MDAs) and government owned enterprises (GOEs) are paramount to our national success,”adsads
