National Assembly passes Finance Bill

December 29, 2022 By Amitverain Leave a Comment

On Wednesday, the National Assembly passed the Finance Bill, a groundbreaking legislation that proposes key reforms to various taxation, customs, excise, and fiscal laws. This bill will amend several laws including the Capital Gains Tax Act, Companies Income Tax Act, Personal Income Tax Act, Petroleum Profits Tax Act, as well as the Stamp Duties Act, Value Added Tax, and Public Procurement Act.

In his report on the Finance Bill, Senator Solomon Adeola, Chairman of the Finance Committee, explained that the bill aims to promote tax equity by bringing more economic sectors into the tax net and ensuring a more equitable distribution of revenue receipts to all levels of government.

One significant change proposed in the Finance Bill is the renaming of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to the Nigeria Revenue Service. The board of this organization will be led by a separate chairman, while the management will be headed by a Chief Executive known as the Commissioner General.

In addition, the Finance Bill includes an increase in the rate of the tertiary education trust fund tax from 2.5% to 3%. Overall, this legislation is poised to bring about significant changes to the nation’s financial systems and contribute to the country’s overall development.
