<p>On revenue performance, the chairman said KIRS had recorded significant improvement in its collections and expressed confidence that it would meet the revenue target set by the state government.</p>
<p>He said the agency would continue to promote voluntary compliance and expand the tax net by bringing more eligible taxpayers into the system.</p>
<p>“There are many people doing businesses who are not yet in the tax net. We want to ensure that more taxpayers are captured and encouraged to comply voluntarily,” he said.</p>
<p>The chairman explained that the digitization of KIRS operations was aimed at blocking revenue leakages, improving transparency and simplifying tax payment.</p>
<p>He said the agency would continue to adopt technology to improve efficiency, revenue collection and service delivery.</p>
<p>Maitama, therefore, urged taxpayers to fulfil their tax obligations promptly and correctly.</p>

<p>He said taxes were an important source of revenue for the government to provide essential services, maintain institutions and promote peace and development.</p>
<p>The executive director also called for improved cooperation between the agency and taxpayers to strengthen compliance and revenue generation in the state.</p>
<p>Speaking also, Mr Michael Daniel, who spoke on behalf of the customers, said that taxpayers appreciated the efforts of KIRS in improving its services and strengthening its relationship with taxpayers.</p>
<p>He urged the agency to sustain its commitment to transparency, professionalism and efficient service delivery, saying improved customer service would encourage more people to comply with their tax obligations.</p>
