Kaduna State Commissioner for Justice, Dr James Kanyip says the state’s new tax law will not adversely affect low-income earners and small businesses, but will instead strengthen the economy.
He made this known at the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service, KADIRS, during the first-quarter stakeholders’ engagement in Kaduna.
The stakeholders’ engagement brought together representatives from various sectors to discuss the provisions of the new tax law, its impact on businesses and individuals, and strategies for compliance.
The law, recently signed by Governor Uba Sani, aims to boost revenue generation and enhance financial accountability in the state.
Dr James Kanyip explained that the reform is designed to create a fair and efficient tax system while supporting economic growth.
The Executive Chairman of KADIRS, Jerry Adams, represented by the Executive Director of Revenue Operations, Dr Mohammad Lawal, said the state government is committed to channelling internally generated revenue into development projects.
He urged residents and business owners to comply with the new tax framework, assuring that the service remains focused on improving revenue collection and delivering better public services.
