In order to stop illegal negotiation between taxpayers and revenue officers in ministries and agency, the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KW-IRS) said it has introduced the harmonized bill system in the revenue generation.
Mrs Shade Omoniyi, the executive chairman of the revenue agency said the harmonized bill would help to avoid diversion of government’s money into personal pockets.
The KWIRS boss, who said that the revenue agency has not reviewed revenue fee or introduced new taxes to taxpayers since the current administration took over, added that all revenue lines currently being collected had been in existence.
She added that the approach introduced is to ensure required and legitimate tax due are paid by taxpayers and collected appropriately into the coffers of the state.
She pointed out that the harmonized bill is expected to bring all eligible entities or businesses into the tax net and enhance improved revenue collections from taxpayers in the state.
