Nigerian tax officials say 21 states have adopted harmonised tax laws designed to reduce multiple taxation. The Joint Revenue Board (JRB) says states consolidate more than 100 separate levies into a smaller set of categories, with the aim of making tax administration more consistent.
The outlets frame the development similarly, focusing on the harmonisation effort and its intended revenue impact. Daily Post Nigeria highlights remarks by the JRB’s executive secretary, who says the model harmonised taxes and levies law has been passed and links the reforms to improved revenue performance. The Punch also stresses the specific consolidation of levies into nine categories as part of efforts to curb multiple taxation, citing the JRB as the source for the updates.
