The Joint Revenue Board of the Federation has announced that, twenty one States across the federation have commenced the implementation of the harmonized 2026 tax laws.
This is aimed at ensuring the full implementation of the new tax laws that have streamlined more than one hundred different taxes, levies, and dues to nine.
On efforts towards the ban on sales of stickers and emblems, road blocks for collection of cash and other illegal tax practices, Olusegun Adesokan, executive secretary of the joint revenue board, says implementation of the new tax laws will stop all those collections. He notes the new tax is gaining traction that states are now
taking revenue administration digital, building capacity, and upgrading standards in addition to simplifying taxation for the informal sector of the society.
The JRB also says that while partnership with stakeholders, including security agencies, is being intensified to ensure compliance, Nigerians have been urged to key into the National Tax Identification Number project and increase voluntary compliance in tax collection.
