New Tax Laws Eliminate Revenue Roadblocks, Adesokan Confirms

According to the Vanguard News, the Executive Secretary of the Joint Revenue Board (JRB), Mr Olusegun Adesokan, has confirmed that new tax laws aim to put an end to the practice of state and local government agents mounting roadblocks for revenue collection. Adesokan made this statement last week in Abuja during a review of the new tax laws. The move is expected to bring relief to motorists who have long been subjected to these unlawful roadblocks. However, it remains unclear how the new laws will be enforced and whether all states will comply. The full implications of this development and its potential impact on Nigeria’s tax system are yet to be fully understood.
