The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has commenced discussions with the Office of the Tax Ombudsman on ways to address multiple taxation and other tax-related disputes affecting the telecommunications sector.
The Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the NCC, Dr Aminu Maida, disclosed this after a meeting with the Tax Ombudsman/Chief Executive of the Office of the Tax Ombudsman, Dr John Nwabueze.

According to him, the collaboration would help address issues surrounding multiple taxation and other tax disputes within the sector, with a view to ensuring that such matters are resolved more quickly and harmoniously.
He said a more coordinated approach to resolving tax-related challenges would contribute to creating a more efficient and business-friendly environment for telecommunications operators and other stakeholders.

He added that stronger institutional collaboration would be critical to addressing challenges in the sector and improving the overall business environment.
The engagement is expected to provide a platform for both institutions to work together on tax-related issues affecting telecommunications operators while promoting greater efficiency and harmony in the sector.
