Dreldee:
It's an indication that they are still on our matter and
their plans on recruiting more staff with "transparency".

Yes the process is ongoing no doubt but forget about transparency. We will have minimal transparency here. They should not have allowed Chief of staff to head the recruitment committee.

Patternwithease:
Please, what is the implication of this? 🙏🏾

Involvement of Chief of staff is a bad omen as far as am concern because of his political influence on recruitment during his time as Speaker, their girlfriends and associates collected free loan from Nilsral microfinance bank. Most of the recruitments are shared with the lawmakers. NNPC, NSIA don't allow that nonsense, they conduct their recruitments with minimal political influence. Na why use senators dey talk about FIRS recruitment.

Orlando22:
I have been offered appointment at FAAN recently now in Lagos international airport....

Congratulations! How una dey do am?

You may be right or wrong with your assertions. I visit the thread once in a while and comment on issues as they arise. I am less concerned about if he is an actual FIRS staff or not, whether he is a Nigerian or not. I am more concerned about anybody thinking being a FIRS staff exempts you from living on loans. It might be easier on those working outside the Abuja and Lagos area offices.

On this same forum, I posted payslips of more than 10 senior and junior officers in one federal organisation just to prove a point about salary. Many people think once you are a public servant or working in any of the B list agencies upward, you have AUTOMATICALLY risen above financial difficulties. That perception is very wrong.

Earning 400k in Abuja (for example) cannot still afford you a lot of luxury. You cannot live in certain areas, you cannot buy a car if you don't save aggressively for at least 24 months upwards. So what exactly does FIRS pay that makes it so mouth watering and makes the staff invincible to loans? The 400k FIRS TOs are earning in 2025 is what DPR administrative staff (GT) were earning in 2018. Compare the cost of goods, rent, fuel, school fees, services, etc then vs now.

A lot of commercial banks increased staff salary by 80-100% recently. You are likely to earn higher as an Executive Trainee in a bank than you will as a Tax Officer II in FIRS. 80% of MTN Nigeria staff earn above 1m monthly.

I can confidently place a bet that if you put down ten random paystubs of FIRS employees, at least 3-4 will be servicing a loan. Is FIRS salary okay? Yes. Is it in the league of the top 6 agencies in Nigeria with great welfare package? No. Can FIRS do better? Yes

I bow to superior argument. I am therefore sorry if my earlier post seems like I glorified MohIsah above any other person. I am keen on the facts, not the side talks. I WON'T COMMENT ON THIS FIRS DISCUSSION AGAIN. Thanks

Bank officers are earning 700k in most banks now. You are right.

Moh99:
If you know where you come from, you doesn't need loan to survive in FIRS.

😂 😂 loan is not a curse my brother. As a civil servant, loan is an opportunity that other people want to have access to. If you're not working nobody will loan you a kobo. No matter where you work you need loan on certain things except you don't think big even Dangote dey hustle for loan

AmiableMosquito:
It's counter productive trying to educate people who have never worked in the public service or even worked anywhere before. And it is easy to identify them Mohisah. Why are you wasting your energy?
People not in the system will argue your salary with you as if they are the ones paying your salary.

At least 50% of public servants live on loans (including their almighty FIRS, NIMASA and even NUPRC). People take loans for different reasons; augment cost of living, property/automobile purchase, sponsoring wards abroad, financing a new business etc. Why do you think there are more finance companies springing up by the minute? You think they are there to service only Grade C and D federal employees?

People's lifestyle are determined by their level of income and a lot of us like to live a little bit beyond our means. Coupled with the current devaluation of our currency and rising inflation/cost of living, even 500k monthly is not enough income for anyone to boast they are not on loan.

While a National Gallery of Art staff may be managing public transport, a typical FIRS staff might think that it is unbefitting to be jumping public transport and will therefore take a car loan just to fit in to the lifestyle that supposedly "befits" a FIRS staff. An unemployed person will see the FIRS staff and presume they are doing far better.

A NIPOST staff may typically live on loan to survive the rising cost of living and other sundry expenses. A NUPRC staff may take loans to finance expensive private school tuition fee (that befits their wards), make down payment for several properties, start a lucrative business, etc. Because sometimes, the fact that you are well paid does not mean that you have cash to finance all your wants at the same time. The lifestyle/living cost of an NNPC staff will definitely differ from that of someone with NTA. The higher your income, the bigger your needs/wants/responsibilities.

In summary, loans are not a yardstick to determine the welfare structure of any organisation. However, FIRS staff are also not earning well enough to claim that a lot of their staff are not on loans. NIA pays far better than FIRS and I know a staff who is on loan.

Again, Mohisah, don't waste your energy trying to educate people who don't know how the system works. What percentage of FIRS staff can afford to rent a 2 bedroom in Guzape?

My major concern is the conduct of their recruitment exercise, which resembles the notoriously corrupt NCDMB recruitment process. In Nigeria, any government recruitment exercise lasting six months will be infiltrated by political influences. When I saw a senator discussing FIRS recruitment on the floor of the House, I knew it would be heavily influenced by corrupt politicians. In contrast, NNPC and NSIA completed their recruitments efficiently without prolonging the process for months.

I know Yoruba will lead before I opened the thread. What a tribe!

Greatness2024:
Mohisah post=134992456] i purposely posted dat to show how sm of u are idiots yet u dey find help frm anonymous group... U can only insult n insult nothin more... Abi u wan hold me for scam?😂💔
Dis place na cruise zone. Mentioning 65% triggered u Im not ur reason of being unemployed, am i? 65% is just fr ppl like u to rest... Hv ur peace n chill ur self out

You are mentally unstable guy. Have i ever seek for help from you? You turned it to cruise coz you knew you can not justify your 65% cooperative loan claim.

Because i corrected your stupidity made you to assum i am unemployed? You need a brain surgery so you can reason like a responsible human being.

I know someone that was given Senior manager in FIRS two years ago but he rejected because of the package, he was assistance manager in NDIC then going to deputy manager. He would have taken it today because of salary increment, their promotion is more faster than NDIC. He requested for Assistant director but was not granted because he did exam and interview on Senior manager position.

60% Salary Increase for FIRS Staff including the security department.

Malami, pantami 😂 only Buhari and Almakura matter in that list others are like P in Psychology.

But my friends in UK dey give excuses and borrow money every month. No be the same UK una dey?

kpankpangolo:
The weak returned. Nothing new.

Poor boy. People like Ajimobi, Fayose returned to become governor after years dirty work.

NNPC is the best in terms of conducting recruitment exercise, very timely without wasting of time. No time for unnecessary speculations sharp and concise. I give it to them wether merit based or not they tried.

China might decide to further devalue its currency, potentially causing economic difficulties for the US. Trump would accuse China of currency manipulation as usual, a criticism he voiced during his presidency. In 2019, he labeled China a currency manipulator, claiming it deliberately devalued its currency to boost exports and circumvent US tariffs.

Iyajelili:
The way some of you reply is so annoying. So you mean I didn't know to contact my pension manager before coming here for help? So if I had gotten an answer from them I'll be here?

Tell us the problem specifically. Tell us the feedback from your pension manager.

Iyajelili:
Good morning all. Please I had issue with my FG work(since 2022) and the issue is that I have some amount of money with premium pension which I'd like to access but don't know how to go about it or if it's even possible to collect.

Contact your pension manager.

lonecatt:

the same people who supported clueless Buhari for 8years.

Fake news from Ipob region. I was in Shoprite yesterday infact everything was going on as usual. People didn't desert when things was terrible last year September nd October, it is now that inflation is coming down that people now deserted. That shoprite is in Imo I guess may Ipob announce sit at home and people were unable to come outside

Aristo3146:
You quoted and insulted me over a comment another person made on my mention. Thank you for the insult anyways, I return God's blessings to you for cursing me.

Sorry about that na that bastard I wanted you reply. You're blessed. I don't that English is so difficult to comprehend for some adults.

emolala:
NO EH have received either sms or email invite pls.all the evidences are all GTs..stop misleading people and be humble to take corrections without reverting to insults..it goes a long way to tell the type of person you are.

You're very foolish for this jargons you typed. Who's misleading public? You're brain dead obviously.

Aristo3146:
Lolz, you went and screenshot a message on discussion about SEC recruitment that is being handled by workforce. Na waooh

You're very sick and stupid, I asked a question and the guy replied me. I saw someone on X who claimed that it was both GT and EH. I only asked a question. God punish you for saying that I was fully aware.

Aristo3146:
Lolz, you went and screenshot a message on discussion about SEC recruitment that is being handled by workforce. Na waooh

Haba! Why una dey behave like this? It was a reply to my message on general forum on job/vacancies. I believe this is best platform to ask because we are mostly EH. I hate fake news, propaganda and misinformation I don't do such. Anything I drop is authentic.

I heard the FIRS has been sending messages; has anyone received one?

Someone dropped that message, can anyone acknowledge that they have received?

Abdull01:
Both

r

I have not seen Experienced hire that receive, please update us if there's anyone.

Wow! Good appointment

MEGAWATCH:
This guy is an idiot.

This people has just messed up the meaning of democracy.


🤣🤣🤣🤣

You're a fo*l, if I offer you £10,000 you will prostrate. Most of you type nonsense on social media.

Share update on FIRS EH if you have any.

One of the few best brains

redcliff:
If them really ask you now, the lagos wey u dey defend, one single property you no get there.

You must be sick to think that until you have properties that you can defend what you believe in. Well, it's just a mere legislative exercise. The same way Igbo transferred over 200k voters card to Lagos in order to win election for Chinedu.

It is a mere Legislative exercise.

Federal Inland Revenue Service FIRS Recruitment Questions and Answers for Experienced Hires

Here are some Federal Inland Revenue Service FIRS Recruitment Questions and Answers for Experienced Hires. These questions are designed to test applicants' knowledge of tax administration, legal frameworks, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
For more Federal Inland Revenue Service Recruitment Questions And Answers for Experienced Hires contact me on WhatsApp number 08029815618.

1. What are the primary functions of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)?

Answer:
The primary functions of FIRS include:

Tax Collection: The FIRS is responsible for assessing and collecting federal taxes such as Corporate Income Tax (CIT), Personal Income Tax (PIT), Value Added Tax (VAT), and other federal levies.

Taxpayer Education: Educating businesses and individuals about their tax obligations and encouraging voluntary compliance.

Enforcement of Tax Laws: Ensuring compliance with tax regulations through audits, penalties, and legal proceedings for tax evasion or fraud.

Policy Formulation and Advisory: Providing advisory support to the government on tax policies and legislation.

Revenue Generation: FIRS contributes to national revenue generation, which is crucial for the country’s economic development.

2. How would you describe the concept of tax compliance and why is it important for FIRS?

Answer:
Tax compliance refers to the adherence of individuals, corporations, and other entities to tax laws by filing tax returns, paying taxes, and fulfilling other tax-related obligations within the stipulated time frame.
It is critical for FIRS because:

Revenue Generation: Timely tax collection is essential for funding government projects and services.

Economic Stability: Consistent tax collection helps in stabilizing the economy and ensuring the smooth functioning of the government.

Fairness: It ensures that everyone pays their fair share of taxes, contributing to the nation’s economic development.

Transparency: Encourages transparency and reduces corruption, which are crucial for a fair tax system.

3. Can you explain the difference between Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance?

Answer:

Tax Avoidance is the legal practice of minimizing tax liabilities through strategies that comply with the law. This includes using tax exemptions, deductions, or tax credits available in tax law to reduce the amount of tax payable.

Tax Evasion, on the other hand, is an illegal activity involving the deliberate misrepresentation or concealment of income, assets, or financial information to reduce tax liabilities. It involves fraud, such as falsifying records or hiding earnings to avoid paying the required taxes.

4. What is the role of Transfer Pricing in tax administration?

Answer:
Transfer Pricing refers to the pricing of goods, services, or intangible assets between related parties, such as subsidiaries of the same multinational company, when conducting transactions across borders.
It plays a significant role in tax administration because it helps prevent companies from manipulating prices to shift profits to low-tax jurisdictions, thereby evading taxes. The goal is to ensure that transactions between related entities are priced at arm's length (i.e., the same price that would be charged between unrelated parties). FIRS monitors transfer pricing to ensure that companies comply with tax laws and report accurate earnings.

5. How does FIRS ensure transparency and integrity in the tax collection process?

Answer:
FIRS promotes transparency and integrity by:

Automating Processes: Using technology to streamline processes such as e-filing, e-payment, and automated tax assessments, which reduces errors and corruption.

Clear Tax Guidelines: Providing clear and accessible tax laws, regulations, and guidelines to ensure taxpayers understand their obligations.

Internal and External Audits: Conducting regular audits and reviews to ensure compliance with tax laws.

Whistleblower Protection: Encouraging the public and employees to report tax fraud or unethical behavior through secure and anonymous channels.

Public Awareness: Engaging the public through campaigns and educational programs on tax compliance and the importance of paying taxes.

The same question is applicable to IT personel too?

Please refrain from bombarding someone who's assisting you in your job search with daily messages. If they read your messages but don't respond, try not to take it personally. Instead, consider waiting a few weeks before following up. Only send messages when you have updates or information about the recruitment.
