Amid allegations of doctoring the tax reform acts, the National Assembly has released the four bills signed into law by President Bola Tinubu.
House Spokesman, Akin Rotimi says the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and Speaker, House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, directed the immediate release of the Certified True Copies of the Acts, including the endorsement and assent pages signed by the President.
Rotimi says this is to dispel public concerns and allegations regarding purported alterations and the circulation of unauthorised and misleading versions of the laws.
The four Acts released include The Nigeria Tax Act, 2025; The Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025; The National Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, 2025 and The Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Act, 2025.
Rotimi further notes that parliament would remain vigilant and proactive in defending the integrity of its work, clarifying that the only authentic and authoritative versions of the four tax Acts are those certified and released by the National Assembly.
NATIONAL POST recalls that a member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abdulsammad Dasuki (PDP Sokoto), had alleged that the gazetted copy of the bill was different from the one passed by the National Assembly.
The allegation heightened calls for the suspension of the implementation of the law, but the government said there was no going back.
