Gov Yusuf threatens to jail tax defaulters in 2025
The Kano government says it will prosecute all tax defaulters in 2025 as part of its major reforms in tax administration.
This was disclosed in a statement on Saturday.
According to the statement, Zaid Abubakar, the executive chairman of Kano State Internal Revenue Service, sounded the warning during a presentation at a retreat for top government officials.
The retreat is being held in Kaduna.
Mr Abubakar said the Kano government planned to generate over N20 billion in revenue each quarter of 2025.
Governor Abba Yusuf sacked the chairman of the revenue service and appointed a new management structure in a bid to rejig the system.
According to the statement, the decision has improved the agency’s performance in the third and fourth quarters of 2024.
The statement added that the governor would commission a new tax collection model to ensure effective reforms in revenue generation.
The model, he said, was expected to increase revenue generation for the 2025 fiscal year substantially.
