Tax Appeal Tribunals: FG makes new appointments [Full list]

The Federal Government has reconstituted the Tax Appeal Tribunals in
the six geopolitical zones as well as Lagos and the Federal Capital
Territory.

The reconstitution of the Tribunals is in accordance with Section 2(1)
of the Fifth Schedule of the Federal Inland Revenue Service
Establishment Act.

Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, who announced this on Thursday in
Abuja, said the Tribunals would adjudicate over disputes arising from
the operation of Federal Tax Laws and Regulations in the country.

Adeosun said: "The reconstitution of the Tax Appeal Tribunals is an
essential part of building tax payers trust and confidence in the
fairness of the system.

"The Federal Ministry of Finance has undertaken a rigorous process to
select competent persons on the basis of merit who will be expected to
discharge their duties professionally."

She added that the Ministry sought nominations from a number of
professional bodies and stakeholders, including the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, Association of National Accountants
of Nigeria, Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, Nigeria Bar
Association and the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce and
Industry, Mines and Agriculture.

The Tax Appeal Commissioners are expected to hold office for a term of
three years from the date of appointment.

Each Tribunal is made up of a Chairman and four Commissioners
knowledgeable in the laws, regulations, norms and practices of
taxation in Nigeria, management and trade
