• Says reform has reduced tax burden on low-income earners, micro-scale businesses
The Joint Revenue Board (JRB), apex body for revenue administration in Nigeria, has undertaken an assessment of the progress and challenges of the tax reform, one year into the commencement of its implementation.
The Board at its 160th meeting said it was imperative for revenue authorities to come together to reflect on their experiences under the new revenue regime and chart the way forward where concerns arise.
The meeting with the theme “One Year of Reform: Assessing Progress and Addressing Challenges”, held between the 1st and 2nd September 2026 in Kaduna State, was declared open by the host state Governor, Senator Uba Sani.
Governor Sani said the tax reform has expanded the opportunities for domestic resource mobilisation for the development of the country, stating that the deeper benefits of the reform would be to build institutions that will sustain the gains of the reform and command the confidence of taxpayers.
