Despite the perceived benefits of the Finance Act, the Nigeria Economic Summit Group (NESG) has said that the Act poses an important policy dilemma that may be burdensome for individuals and businesses in the country.

NESG board member, Nnanna Ude, made this observation yesterday, during a virtual roundtable organised by the group to assess the likely impact of the 2021 Finance Act on households, firms, sub-sectors and the macro-economy at large.

“There are expected trade-offs emanating from the 2021 Finance Act. On one hand, the Act contains tax measures and tax administration changes that can help the Federal Government raise more non-oil tax revenues and realise fiscal sustainability. However, on the other hand, the Act introduces some tax increases that may be burdensome for individuals and businesses.”

He said that the roundtable will engage relevant stakeholders to assess the likely impact of the 2021 Finance Act on households, firms, sub-Sectors, and the macro-economy at large. “The Finance Acts enacted in 2019, 2020 and 2021 have become an emerging fiscal tradition in Nigeria. The primary objective is to progressively reform the fiscal environment and enhance non-oil revenue while supporting the implementation of Nigeria’s annual budgets.
