Shariah council demands probe of discrepancies in tax laws

The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN) has called for a probe into discrepancies between tax bills passed by the National Assembly.

The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN) has demanded an investigation into discrepancies in the tax bills passed by the National Assembly. The council, which oversees Shari’ah matters in the country, highlighted differences between the legislation approved by lawmakers and another aspect of the tax framework. Details on the exact nature of these discrepancies remain limited in available reports, but the call underscores concerns over consistency in Nigeria's tax laws. This development comes as the National Assembly recently finalized the tax bills. No immediate responses from the Shari’ah council or the legislature have been noted regarding the probe demand. The issue could have implications for tax administration in Nigeria, particularly in regions where Shari’ah principles apply.
