The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has made significant strides in becoming more taxpayer-friendly.
According to FIRS Chairman, Dr. Zacch Adedeji, the agency has undergone transformation and innovation, making it easier for taxpayers to comply with tax obligations.
Dr. Adedeji emphasized that FIRS is now more focused on supporting taxpayers, both internal and external.
The agency aims to simplify tax payment and filing processes, eliminating unnecessary fines and penalties. This move is expected to promote taxpayers’ progress and prosperity.
FIRS has also partnered with the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) to showcase its products and services, create awareness among taxpayers, and enlighten the business community on the agency’s new face.
This partnership provides an opportunity for FIRS to interact with taxpayers and the Nigerian business community.
Some of the innovative solutions introduced by FIRS include the Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) Code *829#.
This code allows taxpayers to verify their tax status and make general enquiries without visiting the tax office.
Overall, FIRS’ efforts aim to enhance the ease of doing business, promote economic growth, and provide a seamless tax payment process for all stakeholders involved.
