KPMG’s top management on Monday met with the Executive Chairman of the Nigerian Revenue Service (NRS), Dr. Zacch Adedeji in Abuja, and pledged professional support to the nation’s tax reforms, describing them as essential.
The visit by the global network of professional services firms comes just a week after they identified several areas needing revisions to the New Tax Act (NTA) 2025, following their review—a move that has already drawn reactions from the Nigerian government.
NewsQuest reports that Monday’s meeting fostered better understanding between the Nigerian tax authority and the group, clarifying policy directions and intentions.
The NRS in a post on its official Facebookpage said, KPMG commended the Executive Chairman for his leadership and the timely implementation of the new tax laws, noting that their initial apprehensions have been significantly allayed.
“They affirmed that the reforms are both necessary and timely, and pledged continued professional engagement in support of effective tax administration and national economic growth,” the group stressed.
President Bola Tinubu signed the Nigeria Tax Act, 2025, along with three related bills into law on June 26, 2025, marking a major overhaul of the nation’s tax system.
Our correspondent gathered that the reforms, which came into effect on January 1, 2026, consolidate multiple outdated tax laws into a unified framework to simplify compliance, broaden the tax base, and boost revenue.
