This provision empowers the FIRS to better assess non-resident companies to taxation by taxing profits derived from digital services rendered to Nigerian customers and it\u2019s also designed to reduce the tax compliance burdens on non-resident taxpayers that are not required to register in Nigeria as companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe third broad objective of the Finance Bill is financial reform to enhance tax equity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cMost of these provisions that have been made are to enhance ongoing capital market reforms relating to securities lending transactions, real estate investment trusts, as well as the minimum taxation reductions that have been pioneered by the two previous Finance Bills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe fifth principle is Critical Public Financial Management and Reform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThis reform was designed to strengthen the FIRS tax administration and coordination role in relation to the collection of taxes, vis-a-vis the responsibilities of relevant law enforcement agencies, such as the Nigerian Police or the EFCC and also to ensure and reinforce the supremacy of the fiscal rules and regulations as provided for by the Finance Controls and Management Act, as well as the 1999 Constitution, as amended.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government has disclosed that there is no adjustment to the value-added tax (VAT) and stamp duty regime in the 2021 finance bill.
