- Nigeria is being urged to accelerate digital reforms of its VAT system to boost revenue and tax compliance in West Africa.
- The West African Tax Administration Forum (WATAF), supported by the African Development Bank, emphasized the need for digital VAT at a high-level meeting.
- WATAF highlighted that manual tax processes cause revenue leakages and hinder enforcement, while digital systems improve transaction visibility and compliance.
- Despite some progress, Nigeria still faces gaps in real-time data integration, invoice verification, and refund processing.
- The reforms are crucial for Nigeria’s efforts to modernize tax administration and increase non-oil revenue amid fiscal challenges.
