The Federal Inland Revenue Service has demanded that political parties publish their tax agenda before and during campaigns for the 2019 elections.
According to the Chairman, FIRS, Mr. Babatunde Fowler, the core mandate of the agency is to enforce the payment of taxes by individuals, corporate organisations and government institutions.
Fowler, while speaking at the launch of the Andersen Tax in Nigeria in Lagos, stated that the FIRS as a body was paying taxes, adding that he saw no reason why political parties and other governmental organisations should refuse to pay taxes.
He said the government and all related entities ought to comply with tax laws in order to set good examples for others to follow.
