“I want to assure you that there is nothing in the bills that will reduce your funding, effectiveness or efficiency. What we have in the Bills are provisions that will help us in laying a solid foundation for your sustainability,” Adedeji said.
Zacch Adedeji, chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service , has assured that the four tax bills currently before the national assembly will not reduce the funding and efficiency of agencies.
“I want to assure you that there is nothing in the bills that will reduce your funding, effectiveness or efficiency. What we have in the Bills are provisions that will help us in laying a solid foundation for your sustainability,” he said.“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.
“The laws that set up these agencies, commissions and boards have tax provisions embedded in them and these provisions must be implemented. So when people carry out their own constitutional roles as stipulated in their acts or laws, you can’t say what they are doing is illegal.
