The Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN) is pushing for a tax law which will make it difficult to evade tax.
Speaking during the first and 52nd induction of over 1,459 members in Abuja, the president of CITN, Samuel Agbeluyi, informed that the Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Bill is currently awaiting concurrent approval from the Senate having been passed by the House of Representatives.
The bill, according to the president, recommends, among other things, the introduction of tax agents who will serve as intermediaries between tax payers and revenue authorities.
