The Kaduna State Government has introduced a new tax policy, banning multiple tax collection in the state.
The new policy also bans Local Government officials and agencies from collecting taxes and all form of levies from individuals and corporate organisations across the state.
The State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, made the announcement on Friday after signing the new Kaduna State Codification and Consolidated Tax Policy and Pension Scheme into law.
According to him, the replacement of cash tax collection with e-payment method is part of efforts to block leakages in revenue collection, adding that the measure is to ensure that every penny collected would count.
The Governor also explained that the new tax policy would boost the state’s revenue profile, attract more investors and make payment easier for people.
