The Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria has projected that the introduction of the eNaira into the Nigerian economy will reduce tax evasion.
The President, Mr Adesina Adedayo, disclosed this while speaking during a webinar organised by the CITN, with the theme, ‘Understanding digital currency operation: The eNaira project.’
He explained that the program’s goal was to constantly enlighten and educate the public and stakeholders through activities that contribute to national development, as well as to keep its members up to date on evolving tax policy and associated concerns.
What they are saying
Adesina said, ”With the implementation of the eNaira, it is expected that ultimately, tax evasion will be minimal as it seeks to ensure the traceability of tax assets and enforces transparency in the taxation system, thereby increasing government revenue.”

Has it reduced tax invasion?
Most of Nigerians are not using it and don’t know about it.
