FIRS rakes in N5.5 trillion in tax revenue in 6 months
The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) collected a total tax revenue of N5.5 trillion for a six-month period from January to June 2023.
FIRS set a new record after collecting over N10 trillion in revenue in 2022. It was the first time the revenue agency crossed the N10 trillion mark in tax revenue collection.
The agency's realisation of this feat is coming even though Nigerians have been plagued by several economic hardships in the six months including naira scarcity, inflation, fuel subsidy removal and high petrol prices.
