The Office of the Tax Ombud said it is strengthening its capacity to handle disputes arising from digital asset taxation as part of efforts to improve fairness and transparency in Nigeria’s tax system.
The Tax Ombud and Chief Executive of the Office of the Tax Ombud, John Nwabueze, disclosed this on Thursday at a media parley in Lagos, where he outlined the office’s achievements and future priorities.
According to him, the office has expanded the capacity of its accountants and legal experts to handle complex tax matters, including disputes involving digital assets, should such cases arise.
He also said the office plans to establish offices in all six geopolitical zones to improve taxpayers’ access to its services.
Mr Nwabueze said the Office of the Tax Ombud has enhanced access to its services through a digital complaints portal, a case management system, a toll-free call centre and SMS callback services, making it easier for individuals and businesses to lodge complaints and obtain timely resolutions.
