The Chairman of the Presidential Tax Reform Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, has dismissed as false a report claiming that the Federal Government has stopped issuing implementation guidelines for Nigeria’s new tax laws
Oyedele reacted on X on Thursday, responding to a report which suggested that uncertainty over the final versions of the tax laws had led the government to pause further action.
The report alleged that Oyedele had instructed the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) and the Joint Revenue Board (JRB) to hold off on issuing guidelines, citing doubts about whether the circulating copies of the laws reflected the official final versions.
It also claimed that printed copies were being withheld after the National Assembly reportedly retained all gazetted copies pending an internal review, with concerns over discrepancies between versions fueling uncertainty in the tax reform process.
Oyedele, however, dismissed the report in a brief reaction, writing simply: “Fake news.”
