The House of Representatives has said that appropriate corrective measures will be taken in accordance with the law and established parliamentary conventions regarding the tax laws where procedural or administrative refinements are identified.
Spokesman of the House, Akintunde Rotimi, said in a statement that the leadership of the National Assembly has directed the Clerk to re-gazette the four tax laws passed by both chambers of the National Assembly.
Rotimi assured Nigerians that the parliament was undertaking a review of the four laws in line with established parliamentary procedures and the 1999 constitution as amended.
The statement reads, “Recent public commentary has focused on the legislative process relating to the passage, presidential assent, and publication in the Official Gazette of the Federal Government of the following Acts: the Nigeria Tax Act, 2025,
The Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025; the Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria (Establishment) Act, 2025; and the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, 2025.
“The commentary has raised issues concerning the harmonisation of Bills passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives, the documentation transmitted for Presidential assent, and the versions of the Acts subsequently published in the Official Gazette.”
