FIRS Chairman zacch Adedeji Says Tax Reforms Have Reshaped Nigeria’s Fiscal Landscape.

The Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zacch Adedeji, explained that the tax reforms leading to amendments to the tax laws including the Finance Acts, the Petroleum Industry Act, and various subsidiary legislations, have significantly reshaped Nigeria’s tax ecosystem.

 In a goodwill message delivered at the training workshop for the Judiciary on the new tax laws,  he said the reforms further led to the introduction of  new compliance obligations, dispute resolution mechanisms, and enforcement provisions that require robust judicial interpretation for effective implementation.

Adedeji said the judiciary, through its interpretative powers, remains the ultimate arbiter in maintaining the delicate balance between the legitimate powers of tax authorities and the rights of taxpayers.
