 The House of Representatives on Wednesday passed for second reading a bill for an Act to Establish National Inspection General for Tax Crimes Commission. The bill, which was sponsored by Honourable Benjamin Kalu, member representing Ben de Federal Constituency of Emo State, would aim to address revenue leakages emanating from non-payment and underpayment of taxes, irregularities in the assessment, reporting and remittances of taxes. He said, when finally ascended to by the President, the bill will help to prevent and combat tax-related crimes, plug all leakages in the tax administration system and ensure the protection of tax pay is right. This is a venue of the relaunch to unveil the lag-smart ID card. If we give them this big power, it will lead to abuse because torture will set in and when you hold them responsible they say, no, we are trying to obtain information. So they will go to any length to get information. So there must be a demarcating line where we say, at this point, refer to the police so that you don't carry the responsibility already mentioned in the Constitution.
