FCT, Abuja – The minority caucus of the House of Representatives has confirmed that some of Nigeria’s recently gazetted tax laws were illegally altered after being passed by the National Assembly and assented to by President Bola Tinubu.
As reported on Friday, January 23, by Daily Trust, this was disclosed in an interim report of the minority caucus ad-hoc Committee on Tax Laws, set up to investigate allegations of discrepancies between the tax reform Acts passed by the legislature and the versions published in the official gazette.
