The Chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zacch Adedeji, has said that there is nothing in the four tax bills currently before the National Assembly which threatens the existence of any government agency or the jobs of individuals.
Adedeji gave the assurance on Wednesday in Abuja while receiving the chief executive officers of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), and the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).
The statement comes amid fears being expressed that the proposed change of the name of FIRS to Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) will lead to the tax agency subsuming a number of federal agencies.
“I want to assure you that there is nothing in the bills that will reduce your funding, effectiveness or efficiency.
“The main objective is to enhance tax efficiency, ease compliance levels,” Adedeji said.
