Newly Signed Enugu State Internal Revenue Service Law 2025 To Revolutionize Taxation, Boost Economic Growth In The State.
Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah has signed into law the Enugu State Internal Revenue Service (Establishment and Consolidation of Revenue Administration) Law, 2025, marking a significant milestone in the state's efforts to end multiple taxation and improve the ease of doing business.
The new law creates a one-stop shop for taxation in Enugu State, eliminating the complexities and harassment associated with multiple tax collectors. Taxpayers will now have a single collection point, and receive appropriate receipts of payment, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Key highlights of the law include:
Consolidation of Revenue: State and local government revenues will be properly consolidated, with taxation collected centrally and split among agencies and tiers of government.
Autonomy of Enugu State Inland Revenue Service: The service is now autonomous, enabling it to set revenue targets, operate professionally, and function efficiently without bureaucratic drawbacks.
Improved Transparency and Accountability: The reform ensures better transparency, accountability, and service delivery in tax administration.
Governor Mbah on Tuesday emphasized that the state's success in increasing internally generated revenue was achieved through widening the tax net, plugging leakages, and leveraging technology, rather than raising taxes. The Enugu State House of Assembly's swift action in passing the bill was also commended for their dedication to the state's progress.
