The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is re-strategizing to improve tax voluntary compliance in Nigeria. This move aims to encourage taxpayers to willingly fulfill their tax obligations, reducing the need for enforcement measures.
Some of the strategies FIRS is exploring include:
- Enhanced Tax Education: Educating taxpayers, especially in rural areas, about the importance of tax compliance and the benefits of voluntary compliance.
- Streamlined Tax Processes: Implementing technology to make tax administration more efficient, reducing the burden on taxpayers and increasing transparency.
- Collaboration with State Boards: Working with State Boards of Internal Revenue to jointly audit taxpayers and share information, reducing tax evasion and increasing compliance.
- Incentives for Compliance: Offering incentives to taxpayers who comply voluntarily, such as reduced penalties or faster refunds.
By adopting these strategies, FIRS aims to increase tax revenue, reduce tax evasion, and promote a culture of voluntary compliance among Nigerian taxpayers.
