The Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Dr Mohammed Shehu, has said ongoing tax and revenue reforms must protect taxpayers while ensuring equitable revenue allocation across all tiers of government.
Shehu stated this while receiving a delegation of the Joint Revenue Board led by its Executive Secretary, Mr Olusegun Adesokan, during a courtesy visit to the commission in Abuja.
His position was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Head of Information and Public Relations Unit of the commission, Maryam Yusuf.
According to the statement, the RMAFC chairman reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to promoting transparency, fairness, accountability and stakeholder collaboration in Nigeria’s revenue administration system.
He said collaboration among institutions responsible for revenue generation and administration was critical to the success of ongoing reforms.
“The Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission remains committed to promoting transparency, fairness, and accountability in Nigeria’s revenue administration. As key stakeholders in the nation’s fiscal architecture, we must work together to ensure that ongoing revenue reforms protect the interests of taxpayers while guaranteeing equitable revenue allocation across all levels of government,” Shehu said.
The chairman noted that the commission would continue to support government initiatives to strengthen revenue generation while ensuring compliance with existing laws governing revenue allocation.
