And the reason for that is that we\u2019ve got all manners of agencies. The Federal Government alone, we have 63 MDAs that were given revenue targets last year, no; actually in the 2023 budget,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd two things that would come up from that: on one hand, these agencies are being distracted from doing their primary function which is to facilitate the economy. Number two, they were not set up to collect revenue, so, they won\u2019t be able to collect revenue efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, move those revenue collection function to the FIRS. It has two advantages: the cost of collection and efficiency will improve, these guys will focus on their work, and the economy will benefit as a result,\u201d Channels quoted him saying.<\/p>\n<p>When asked for clarity on his comments, he said these MDAs are not set up to collect revenue on behalf of the federal government, therefore, should focus on their primary responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are Customs, focus on trade facilitation, border protection and if you are NCC (Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), just regulate telecommunications. You are not set up to collect revenue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can be your revenue and someone else can collect it for you. There will be more transparency because you see what is being collected and is accounted for properly. It is also a way of holding ourselves to account as to how we spend the money we collect from the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WITHIN NIGERIA reports on Tuesday that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu inaugurated a tax reforms committee with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/08\/08\/tinubu-appoints-ui-student-as-member-presidential-committee-on-tax-reforms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">400-level Economics student of University of Ibadan (UI), Orire Agbaje, as a member<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further, he said Nigeria\u2019s tax gap is estimated around N20trn as many members of the elite evade paying the exact taxes they should remit to the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of today, we have significant tax gap estimated in the region of 20 trillion or even more naira. If you focus more on the few major taxes \u2013 Value Added Tax, Corporate Income Tax, Personal Income Tax, a lot of people are not (tax) compliant, particularly the middle class and the elite, some of them are in the tax net with one or two fingers, you pay a thousand naira as tax when you should have paid N10m,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal Inland Revenue Service will now collect revenue for the MDAs Says cost of collection and efficiency will improve The Nigeria Customs Service and 62 other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government will stop direct collection of revenue, the Presidential Committee on Tax Policy and Fiscal Reforms revealed.
