Tax Ombud Leads Initiative to Enhance Taxpayer Rights in Kaduna
On Tuesday, stakeholders from the public and private sectors in the North-west geopolitical zone gathered in Kaduna for a landmark engagement program organized by the Office of the Tax Ombud. The initiative aimed to address taxpayer grievances and foster trust in tax and revenue authorities.
Dr. John Nwabueze, the Tax Ombud and Chief Executive, underscored the office's role as an independent body focused on resolving operational and administrative tax issues. He clarified that the office does not cancel legitimate tax liabilities or make tax policy.
The two-day program included a roadshow to educate taxpayers about their rights and responsibilities. Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, represented by Finance Commissioner Hon. Ho, highlighted the importance of taxpayer compliance for funding state projects and noted improvements in tax collection processes under his administration.
The Governor expressed optimism that the Tax Ombud's mediation services would enhance taxpayer confidence and compliance.
