, Zacch Adedeji, has allayed fears being expressed by some corporate organisations that the resolve of the Service to increase the country’s tax-to-GDP ratio to 18 per cent from 10.86 per cent will lead to increase in taxes.
The plan had triggered muffled apprehensions among corporate entities that the decision could cause an increase in tax rates or introduction of new ones. “We will not collect what is not due to us. But we don’t want anyone not to pay what is due to us. Fair engagement is our plan. Rest assured that the 18% tax-to-GDP target will not translate to increase in taxes.
He said, “I must also commend your commitment to upholding high tax compliance standards and responsible corporate citizenship, which sets you apart as the top taxpayers in Nigeria. This aligns perfectly with our vision of making taxation the pivot of national development through voluntary compliance. Your respective industries play a pivotal role in generating substantial tax revenue for the government and in shaping economic and fiscal stability of the nation.
