On policy , it was recommended that government at all levels should publish revenue collection data annually by type of tax , number of taxpayers and cost of collection , ” the group said.

The group called on political leaders , ministries, departments and agencies to comply with tax laws and ensure an improvement in infrastructure for the benefit of taxpayers

NESG stated , “Political leaders and MDA should be fully compliant with the law and demonstrate this to the public.

Taxation should be clearly linked to the provision and improvements in the quality of public infrastructure and social services.

Stakeholders at the roundtable urged the government to amend the tax laws where necessary to address unclear areas.

They also suggested the amendment of the constitution in order to provide clarity on taxation by the three tiers of government.

According to them, full and effective compliance with tax obligations should be a pre – condition for political office administration.

“On legislation , the FPR believes the government should amend tax laws to resolve ambiguous and draconian provisions, amend the constitution to clarify the taxing powers of various tiers of government to eradicate overlapping jurisdictions that result in multiple taxation , ” the group said

As part of the 10 – point agenda , the group urged the harmonisation of the different identity databases.
