FG plans public engagements on tax reforms

The Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee has planned to hold public engagements on fiscal and tax reforms starting in Lagos on Thursday.

In a statement made available on Tuesday on X  by its Committee’s chairman, Taiwo Oyewole, said, the committee will consult with stakeholders both in Abuja and Lagos in a renewed effort to review the National Tax Policy.

The Lagos session will take place on May 2, followed by another in Abuja on May 6, with the theme “Proposed Changes to the National Tax Policy, Tax Laws, and Administration.”

The public engagements aim to gather input from stakeholders on proposed reforms to the country’s tax system, which the government hopes will boost economic growth and improve revenue collection.
