The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) clarified that it currently has no intentions to tax online content creators, particularly emphasizing that skit makers fall outside the purview of the FIRS. A staff member, speaking anonymously, explained that the FIRS primarily deals with Company Income Tax, focusing on corporate entities with profits of N25 million and above.
The statement came in response to earlier reports attributing to FIRS that media content creators and influencers were considered significant tax evaders. Meanwhile, the FIRS, under the leadership of Dr. Zacch Adedeji, unveiled a new structure aimed at enhancing the country's tax administration. Adedeji emphasized the adoption of an integrated and technology-driven approach to meet the evolving needs of taxpayers in a rapidly changing world.
The restructuring is designed to simplify the taxpayer experience and promote a more user-friendly interaction for all taxpayers, moving away from traditional tax categorization.
