One of the Bills, tagged Economic Stabilisation Bills, seeks the repeal of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Act and enactment of the Nigeria Revenue Service Act in its place while the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill is intending to create a tax tribunal and a tax ombudsman for the country.

Others are the Nigeria Tax Bill 2024, which is expected to provide the fiscal framework for taxation in the country, and the Tax Administration Bill, which will provide a clear and concise legal framework for all taxes in the country and reduce disputes.

Tinubu conveyed Bills via a letter addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives , Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, which was read on the floor of the House at plenary on Thursday.

Tinubu stated that the four Bills will help actualise government’s desire for a proper tax and financial regime for Nigeria, and expressed confidence at the usual cooperation of the House of Representatives on such critical matters.
