The FIRS Chairman spoke against the background of fears being expressed that the proposed change of the name of FIRS to Nigeria Revenue Service will lead to the tax agency subsuming a number of federal agencies. “The Federal Government is repositioning its fiscal outlook to be able to meet the funding requirements of all agencies. The main objective is to enhance tax efficiency, ease compliance levels.

That is what the Nigeria tax bill means.“And when you look at the real principle of this reform is to bring us up to date, to actually show the reality of what we do now and also to stimulate economic activities.
