The National Revenue Service has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening voluntary tax compliance one year after the implementation of Nigeria’s landmark tax reforms, saying taxpayer education remains critical to building a sustainable revenue system.
The revenue agency made the commitment during the maiden edition of the 2026 National Tax Awareness Day, held to assess progress since the reforms were signed into law by President Bola Tinubu in 2025.
According to a statement issued by the management on Sunday, the nationwide campaign featured activities aimed at promoting taxpayer education, encouraging voluntary compliance and deepening public understanding of Nigeria’s tax laws.
The event, themed “Tax Awareness for National Growth: Reform, Compliance and Shared Prosperity,” was observed through the CITN’s 49 District Societies across the 36 states, the Federal Capital Territory and its international districts in the United Kingdom and North America. It brought together tax professionals, government agencies, businesses, students, community groups and members of the public.
