**The fight for tax compliance in Kaduna: KADIRS steps up its efforts**
KADIRS, the Kaduna Internal Revenue Agency, is currently intensifying its efforts to ensure tax compliance throughout the state. With a strong focus on withholding taxes and money agents, the agency is demonstrating its commitment to upholding the law and ensuring that all individuals contribute fairly to the region’s development.
Hajiya Aysha Ahmad, the Secretary of the Board of Directors and Legal Advisor of KADIRS, states that the ongoing operation is targeted at ensuring taxpayer compliance with withholding tax regulations and the remittance of money by agents. Despite prior payment notices issued to non-compliant individuals, they failed to meet their obligations, prompting the agency to take more stringent actions to enforce compliance.
Having set a revenue target of N120 billion as mandated by the Kaduna State Government, KADIRS is actively implementing strategies to achieve this ambitious goal. The recent closure of UBA branches due to outstanding tax payments signifies just the initial phase of these efforts, with additional measures planned to recover all owed taxes to the state government.
Emphasizing proactive measures to ensure tax compliance, KADIRS aims to foster a culture of voluntary adherence to tax obligations. Effective communication and collaboration with taxpayers and their representatives are key components of this approach, with the agency prepared to utilize all available resources to ensure everyone contributes proportionately to the economic advancement and growth of the State.
In conclusion, stringent enforcement of tax laws is crucial for effective revenue collection and the provision of essential public services. Initiatives like those being undertaken by KADIRS in Kaduna play a vital role in enhancing fiscal integrity, ultimately benefiting the prosperity of the state and its residents.
