House of Representatives Probes Alleged Discrepancies in Nigeria’s 2025 Tax Laws Amid Public Outcry

The Nigerian House of Representatives has launched an institutional review into alleged discrepancies between the 2025 tax reform bills passed by the National Assembly and the versions published in the Official Gazette. A seven-member Ad Hoc Committee, supported by other relevant committees and National Assembly management, is examining legislative and administrative procedures to identify any lapses or irregularities. The leadership of the National Assembly has directed that the Acts be re-gazetted and Certified True Copies issued to ensure accuracy and maintain the integrity of legislative records. The review follows scrutiny of the Nigeria Tax Act, 2025, Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025, Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria (Establishment) Act, 2025, and Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, 2025.
