Obinna Chima The World Bank has advised the federal government to focus on low-hanging and revenue-yielding fruits in order to achieve substantial gains, grow Nigeriaâs tax-to-GDP ratio to about seven per cent and rake in about N10 trillion revenue in the next three years. Specifically, the bank advised the government to increase âsin taxes,â charging fees for electronic money transfers, rationalising tax expenditures, removing loopholes in tax laws, and improve tax compliance with more disciplined revenue administration. The advice formed part of the bankâs âNigeria Development Updateâ released recently. The report titled: âResilience through Reforms,â noted that tax revenues were necessary to run essential services, provide security to citizens, help tackle hunger and poverty, and deliver critical health and education services.
