Minister of State for Finance and Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reform Committee, Taiwo Oyedele The Federal Government on Wednesday launched Rev360, a digital tax administration platform designed to improve tax compliance, simplify taxpayer interactions and strengthen revenue collection as part of ongoing reforms to modernise Nigeria’s tax system.
The platform was unveiled at the headquarters of the Nigeria Revenue Service in Abuja during an event attended by senior government officials, development partners, professional bodies, business associations, tax consultants and taxpayers. Representing the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, the Permanent Secretary (Special Duties) in the ministry, Mohammed Danjuma, described the platform as a major step in the modernisation of the country’s revenue administration architecture.
He said efficient tax administration was critical to economic growth because it encourages voluntary compliance, improves transparency and boosts investor confidence. “When tax administration becomes more efficient, compliance becomes easier. When compliance becomes easier, businesses can focus more on growth and productivity,” he said.
He added, “As Nigeria continues its journey towards greater economic competitiveness and sustainable growth, initiatives such as Rev360 will play an important role in strengthening governance, supporting voluntary compliance, improving transparency, and creating a more enabling environment for business to thrive.” According to him, the Federal Government’s economic reform agenda is anchored on strong institutions, improved fiscal management, digital transformation and greater efficiency in public sector operations.
Also speaking, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, said the platform would support the government’s efforts to improve the ease of doing business and achieve its ambition of building a $1tn economy. She recalled earlier attempts to automate tax administration processes and noted that the revenue agency had made significant progress in responding to stakeholder concerns and improving service delivery.
“The Tinubu administration is committed to seeing this economy well above $1tn, and these are the building blocks,” Oduwole said. She commended the leadership of the NRS for driving reforms and embracing technology to improve engagement with taxpayers and businesses.
The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Dr Zacch Adedeji, described the platform as a symbol of the agency’s transformation from a traditional revenue collection institution into a technology-driven organisation. “Nigerian Revenue Service is no more an accounting agency.
It’s now a technology agency,” Adedeji said. “This is the future. And it’s not for us to dream the future. We just have to build that future. And I think that is what NRS is doing today.” Related News Auditor-General flags weak accountability across MDAs Lekki Port Phase 2 begins soon – Sanwo-Olu Women leaders seek stronger cross-sector collaboration In her welcome address, the Executive Director of the Medium and Emerging Taxpayers Group, Mrs Bolaji Akintola, said the platform was developed to improve the overall taxpayer experience by making registration, filing, payment and support services easier and more efficient.
She noted that businesses increasingly expect public services to operate with the same speed, convenience and transparency available in the private sector. “What excites us most about Rev360 is not merely its technological capability, but its practical impact on taxpayers,” she said.
According to Akintola, the platform provides greater visibility across taxpayer obligations, simplifies key processes, strengthens support mechanisms and lays the foundation for a more collaborative relationship between taxpayers and the revenue authority. The Chief of Staff to the NRS Chairman, Mr Tayo Koleosho, said Rev360 was designed as a one-stop integrated platform covering taxpayer registration, assessment, payment, audit, customer service and compliance management.
