Adedeji restated this commitment while addressing stakeholders at Domestic Investors Summit in Abuja.

According to a statement by his Technical Assistant on Media, Arabinrin Aderonke, the FIRS chief was commended for his clear and practical communication of the reforms being implemented.

Adedeji noted that the era of theoretical reforms and bureaucratic delays are over, as the administration focuses on actionable policies to create a more transparent, efficient, and growth-driven tax regime.

“Tax reform is no longer in a cabinet file. It is here to stay,” he said, noting the system is to build trust between government and citizens.

At the heart of the reform is a shift in focus from taxing efforts to taxing success. Rather than penalising startups and growing businesses, the policy prioritises taxing profits, allowing entrepreneurs to grow without early tax burden is to aid innovation and stimulate growth.

The reforms also usher in an era for tax administration through creation of Nigeria Revenue Service, which replaces FIRS.

The agency consolidates tax collection across federal, state, and local levels into one unified body, simplifying compliance and reducing duplication.
