FCT-IRS Unveils Taxporta Digital Tax Management Platform

The FCT Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) launched a new digital tax management platform named Taxporta on [date not specified] in Abuja. The initiative aims to simplify tax administration and enhance compliance as part of Nigeria's 2025 tax reform strategy.

Mr. Michael Ango, the Executive Chairman of FCT-IRS, engaged stakeholders at the National Assembly Library Trust Fund complex, emphasizing the platform's role in ensuring voluntary compliance. Taxporta upgrades the agency's existing digital infrastructure, enabling taxpayers to register, file returns, calculate taxes, and generate receipts without third-party assistance.

The platform is designed to facilitate virtual tax-related transactions, eliminating the need for physical visits to FCT-IRS offices. Ango expressed confidence that Taxporta would strengthen revenue collection and help the agency meet its annual revenue targets.

He also noted the importance of collaboration with various government institutions to improve tax compliance and support ongoing transformations in Abuja's public service funding. Hon. Henri Nwauna, Executive Secretary of the National Assembly Library Trust Fund, described the engagement as a strategic initiative to strengthen collaboration with tax authorities.
