The Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms has promised that the proposed tax reforms of President Bola Tinubu would not be burdensome to Nigerians.
Wale Akinterinwa, a member of the panel disclosed this adding that the committee was determined to formulate friendly policies in the overall interest of the masses.
The Chairman of Forum of Finance Commissioners, at a media forum organised by the Ondo State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Akure, pledged that the proposed tax reforms would not suffocate the citizenry.
Akinterinwa expressed the committee’s determination to develop policies that strike a balance between generating revenue for the government and ensuring the welfare of the Nigerian people.
He said: “As a member of the Tinubu tax committee, I am sure by the time the committee is done with their plans, you will see that we have come up with policies that would favour the masses.
“We would ensure tax payment. The developed nations are developed because they pay their tax when due. We have followed suit in Ondo State in the enforcement of tax payment. We don’t have to suffocate the poor with it, as Tinubu had said, ‘let the poor breathe’.”
