Reps committee confirm alterations of Nigeria’s tax laws

Reps

The House of Representatives Minority Caucus Ad-hoc Committee investigating alleged distortions of the nation’s tax laws has confirmed that there were indeed illegal alterations in some of the tax reform laws recently passed by the National Assembly and assented to by President Bola Tinubu.

The committee specifically cited the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025, as a law where the alleged alterations were most prominent.

The committee disclosed this on Friday in its interim report on discrepancies between the versions of the tax laws passed by the National Assembly and those published in the official gazette.

The controversy followed public outcry after a member of the House, Abdulsamad Dasuki, raised the alarm on the floor of the House over the circulation of an altered version of the tax laws that differed from the version lawmakers had passed. Punch
