So it’s a chance to get people on ground to answer all these pertinent questions.” The Minister disclosed that graduates of accounting, economics, mathematics and other relevant courses would be given priority. Adeosun also urged intelligent graduates interested in building a career in tax administration to apply as the government planned to sponsor the recruits to become tax professionals. “This exercise is extremely important for the fiscal sustainability of states because as you know, most of the revenue for states apart from FAAC is supposed to come from tax. “So if we improved the number of taxpayers, we will be improving the fiscal health of our state governments as well as the Federal Government. “It’s an important initiative for the nation as we undertake reforms to reduce our over-dependence on oil. “We have to make sure that everyone who is economically active pays tax, no matter how little, they have to contribute to the pool,” she said.]]>
