The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is planning to eliminate multiple taxation in Nigeria to boost investment and improve tax revenue for critical infrastructure. The aim is to streamline taxes and block leakages, generating more revenue for all government levels. The FIRS is investing in partnerships with trade unions to bring the informal sector into the tax net and avoid taxing services and goods exempt from taxation. The Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee chairman, Taiwo Oyedele, urged the government to focus on high-yielding taxes, technology, constitutional review, and fiscal federalism.
