NASS Releases Certified Tax Acts Amid Controversy
The National Assembly has released certified true copies of four tax reform Acts recently signed into law by President Bola Tinubu, following public concerns over alleged discrepancies in the gazetted versions.
The Acts released are 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.
House spokesman Akin Rotimi said the move was intended to clear doubts over claims that the published versions differed from what lawmakers passed, stressing that the certified copies reflect the exact texts approved by the legislature.
He added that the National Assembly has directed the Clerk to work with the Federal Government Printing Press to ensure the Acts are properly published.
The development follows allegations of inconsistencies between the bills passed by lawmakers and those contained in the official gazette, prompting the National Assembly to review its procedures for transmitting and gazetting legislation.
