The Office of the Tax Ombud in Nigeria has approached President Bola Tinubu to seek his consent for the establishment of six regional offices across the country's geopolitical zones. The move is aimed at enhancing the agency's ability to address taxpayer complaints efficiently.
According to the tax authority, approximately 82% of the complaints received since its inception have been resolved. The Tax Ombud's initiative is part of its broader objective to improve taxpayer rights protection and promote tax administration fairness.
The President has been requested to approve the establishment of regional offices in the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria: North-East, North-West, South-East, South-South, South-West, and South-West. The Tax Ombud believes that this expansion will enable them to provide better service to taxpayers across the nation.
In a statement, the Tax Ombud's spokesperson said, "The establishment of these regional offices will enable us to serve taxpayers better by providing prompt and efficient resolution of complaints and enhancing taxpayer rights protection."
The Tax Ombud's mission is to protect taxpayer rights and promote fair tax administration in Nigeria. By expanding its operations through regional offices, the authority aims to improve its ability to address taxpayer concerns and ensure a more equitable tax administration system.
The Tax Ombud's success in resolving 82% of complaints since its inception demonstrates the agency's commitment to improving taxpayer satisfaction and addressing the concerns of citizens.
The establishment of these regional offices represents a significant step forward for the Tax Ombud's mission and will undoubtedly contribute to the agency's continued success in protecting taxpayer rights and promoting fair tax administration in Nigeria.
