Zacch Adedeji, the chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), has reacted to the new tax laws signed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday, saying the agency is no longer FIRS but Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS).
Adedeji stated this while addressing State House correspondents shortly after the President signed the bills into law.
“The Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, the third bill, repeals the current Federal Inland Revenue Service Act and creates a more autonomous and performance-driven National Revenue Agency.
“Two hours ago before we were FIRS, now we are Nigeria Revenue Service with expanded scope to focus on tax collection and with match efficiency.”
‘”We were FIRS two hours ago, but with the assent of the Tax Reforms Bills by the President, we are now the Nigerian Revenue Service, which has expanded its scope to also focus on non-tax collection and increase efficiency.”
