TAX COMMITTEE SAYS NIGERIAN TAX ACTS 2025 TO BENEFIT ECONOMY, CITIZENS
Chairman of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC), Mr. Joseph Tegbe, has said the Nigerian Tax Reform Acts 2025 will significantly strengthen the economy while protecting citizens, describing the legislation as a major shift toward a more sustainable fiscal framework.
In an article, Tegbe explained that the Acts represent a comprehensive overhaul of Nigeria’s fiscal architecture, designed to create a modern, efficient and transparent tax system capable of supporting long-term economic growth and shared prosperity.
According to him, the reforms aim to reconnect the economy to the state, standardize and modernize fiscal administration, promote predictability, and rebalance the fiscal social contract between government and citizens.
He noted that by broadening the tax base, simplifying rules and improving administration, the reforms will create a more predictable environment for businesses and households, thereby encouraging compliance and investment.
Tegbe added that the policy direction aligns with global best practices, citing countries such as South Korea, Singapore and Rwanda, where effective tax reforms have driven development and improved living standards.
