NASS Queries Decrease In FIRS’ 2019 Proposed Non-Oil Revenue Tax Collection

National Assembly Joint Committee has raised concern over Federal Inland Revenue Service’s (FIRS) 2019 projected estimate of non oil revenue tax collection of N146.54 billion. The Co-chairman of the committee, Sen. John Enoh and other members of the committee raised the concern at FIRS’s budget defence in Abuja on Monday. The committee sought to know why the 2018 approved estimate was N153.85 while the 2019 projected cost stood at N146.54 amounting to 4.75 per cent decrease. On personnel cost, the committee asked why the service was proposing 14.6 per cent increase in number of staff from 7, 854 in 2018 to 9000 staff in 2019. It equally demanded explanation to the “proposed N160 million meant to sew drivers’ uniforms, N825 million for refreshment and security vote of N250 million among others. Eyes Of Lagos report that, The Executive Chairman of FIRS, Mr Tunde Fowler while presenting the budget proposal, noted that the proposed increase in staff strength was due to recruitment of staff scheduled in 2019. He further explained that N160 million was earmarked to sew uniforms for the 850 drivers of the service as part of effort to make them fit properly into the structure. Also, he said the amount earmarked for security vote was meant to attend to some security issues, particularly those not receipted for. “The achievement of 2019 budget will be driven by increase oil and non-oil revenue tax collection. “The service in realisation of this responsibility and challenges of doing manual collection will continue to implement automated tax collection for the critical sectors of the economy notably telecommunications, airlines and financial institutions. “The deployment of these platforms is at no cost to the service and the consultants will only be rewarded on increased revenue generation. “There will be increased enforcement activities nationwide to bring more tax payers into the tax net and increase compliance level,’’ Fowler said.

Good to know this came up again.
We just wrote a letter less than 24 hours ago to our Daddy personally, that this bogus money for drivers uniform should be look into.
And we also gave daddy the contacts of some young Nigerian tailors, (graduates and non-graduate tailors) that will do a better job for 25% of that amount, when they come together to work.

This is part of the BS we voted against.
We trust our daddy to respond and do something about this ASAP.
This kind of looting is dead and buried with PDP.
No more impunity in our land.

This country is a huge SCAM. to sew 850 drivers uniform with N160M, as Bible said it is finished.

So, you expect them to tax us to death?

BTW, is N20,000 not enough to sow uniform and buy one Boot for a driver? If they have 2 uniforms at N20,000 per driver, the whole 850 drivers will spend N34,000,000! Is N188,000 per driver not too much to be spent on uniform?

Our public office holders should fear God small na!

the kind of corruption and stealing happening in that FIRS is mind blowing.
talking about increase in staff data base...
were there any advertised recruitment last year or this year 2019.?
then how come the staff strength increase by 14%.

Fowler should be removed and probed.
I even heard he do give his girlfriends nothing less than $10K for transport.
the house of rep is doing a great job
