The Kogi State Government has unveiled the newly harmonised tax rates under the Tax Administration Act of 2025 for Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the State.
The new tax rates were unveiled by the Kogi State Internal Revenue Service (KGIRS) following a stakeholders’ engagement with key MDAs across the state.
Executive Chairman of KGIRS, Sule Enehe, provided an overview of the new tax structure and its implications for revenue generation at federal, state and local government levels.
He described the harmonised rates as a major step toward building a more transparent, equitable and efficient tax system.
Enehe noted that printed copies of the updated rates would be distributed to all MDAs to ensure uniform implementation, stressing that states must strengthen their internally generated revenue as reliance on federal allocations becomes increasingly unsustainable.
Earlier, the Director of MDAs at KGIRS, Hassanat Salawu, presented a technical breakdown of the rates as compiled by the Joint Revenue Board.
She explained that the state has adopted and domesticated the framework to reflect Kogi’s economic realities while maintaining national consistency.
Meanwhile, on behalf of the stakeholders, the State Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Hon. Timothy Ojomah, expressed support for the new tax regime and pledged collaboration to ensure smooth implementation and compliance.
The engagement, held at the KGIRS Board Room, drew permanent secretaries, directors, heads of agencies and revenue experts, underscoring the state’s push for fiscal reform.
