Efforts to implement Nigeria new tax reforms are facing uncertainty as delays by state governments threaten to slow execution timelines. Experts warn that without swift coordination the reforms could lose momentum and public confidence.
The tax reform agenda aims to broaden the tax base improve compliance and boost revenue for development projects. However several states are yet to fully align their systems with federal directives.
Fiscal analysts say subnational governments play a crucial role in tax administration especially in areas such as consumption taxes and personal income tax.
Concerns are growing that slow implementation could undermine expected gains and worsen fiscal pressures at both state and federal levels.
Some state officials have cited technical challenges and lack of capacity as reasons for the delay. Others point to political sensitivities surrounding new tax measures.
Economic stakeholders are calling for stronger coordination mechanisms and capacity building to ensure uniform application of the reforms nationwide.
