Ahead of the launch, Dr. Lovette Ononuga, FIRS Director of Taxpayer Services, emphasized the session’s dual goals: “It aims to strengthen public understanding of the reforms and promote collaboration among stakeholders to ensure effective implementation of the new laws.”

A core focus of the reforms is the elimination of multiple and overlapping taxes that have long burdened citizens and businesses. 

The new framework seeks to simplify compliance, remove ambiguities, and enhance transparency making tax obligations clearer and reducing unauthorized charges by local entities or agents.

“The reforms will ease frustrations in tax payments and eliminate unfair practices,” Ononuga stated. 

“We are ushering in a new era of tax administration, one that is efficient, transparent, and aligned with Nigeria’s long-term development vision”.

With effective implementation, the Nigeria Tax Reform Acts are poised to reshape public trust in taxation, strengthen government accountability, and support inclusive, sustainable economic prosperity.
