The committee comprises experts from both the public and private sectors and will focus on tax law reform, fiscal policy coordination, revenue administration, and tax harmonization.

The objective is to enhance revenue collection efficiency, ensure transparency, and foster a culture of voluntary tax compliance, ultimately improving Nigeria’s revenue profile and creating a more competitive business environment.
