Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service , Mr. Muhammad Nami, has launched a nationwide tour to sensitise the people, especially taxpayers on the 2019 Finance Act.
A statement issued by the FIRS’ Director, Communication, Mr. Abdullahi Ismaila Ahmad said said Nami is on the tour with a select group of top management staff as well as the member representing the South West on the FIRS Board, Chief Wale Ogunyomade. Specifically, Nami urged Abiodun to work closely with the FIRS to ensure a prompt collection and forwarding of withholding tax and Value Added Tax on contracts, Company Income Tax as well as Stamp Duty, among others, stressing that the FIRS is now the sole government agency tasked with the collection of Stamp Duty on behalf of the federal government.
