The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), disclosed this in a statement through its Twitter handle on Monday.
FIRS is expected to partner with the Market Traders Association of Nigeria (MATAN), to collect & remit VAT from their members, especially those in the informal sector.
“A collaboration between FIRS and MATAN to promote awareness on VAT collection and remittance in the marketplace and informal sector, while simplifying VAT payment and remittance for the marketplace and informal sector using a purpose-built digital platform.”
The statement added that “This will also boost VAR revenue generation for the three tiers of government, which in turn means more money to fund infrastructure and social amenities.”
