OSUN State governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has harmonised into a single bill, the multiple taxes and levies collected by different government ministries, departments and agencies across all business sectors, formal and informal.
The governor added that his administration has also deployed some automation systems for improved government services delivery.
This, according to him, include, but not limited to the Government Assets and Utility Management System for renting and leasing of government properties and assets, CofO in 45 days programme, electronic affidavit system, electronic state of origin and local government area of origin portal, mobile tax stations, seamless online payment systems for taxes, among others.
The governor stated that the new initiative was informed by the need to put an end to incessant challenges of multiple taxation being faced by taxpayers in the state, just as he explained that the harmonised bill curates all levies, which all businesses are expected to pay on an annual basis as a single bill.
The new initiative, which was announced by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, explained that the single bill allows for easy and convenient payments that can be in equal or unequal tranches.
