The Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has raised concerns over discrepancies between the tax reform laws passed by the National Assembly and the versions later gazetted by the Federal Government following presidential assent.
The lawmakers alleged that portions of Nigeria’s recently gazetted tax laws were illegally altered after President Bola Tinubu signed the bills into law.
This revelation was contained in an interim report submitted by the Minority Caucus Ad-hoc Committee on Tax Laws, which was constituted to investigate claims of inconsistencies between the tax reform Acts approved by the legislature and those published in the official government gazette.
According to the committee’s preliminary findings, a comparison of the Certified True Copies issued by the House of Representatives with the gazetted versions confirmed that changes were made to the laws. The report noted that the most significant alterations were found in the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025.
