No new tax on vehicles – NRS

The Nigeria Revenue Service has described as false and misleading a viral infographic claiming that a new vehicle tax has been imposed by the Federal Government, effective July 1.

The NRS made this known in a statement by Mr Dare Adekambi, Special Adviser to the NRS Chairman, Dr Zach Adedeji, and spokesperson for the service.

According to Adekambi, the infographic directs owners of private, commercial, and corporate vehicles to pay an unspecified vehicle tax rate online or at approved banks and agencies.

He said the material, which bore no identifiable author, further asked members of the public to visit http://www.firs.gov.ng for more information, whereas the correct official website of the NRS is http://www.nrs.gov.ng. Punch
