The Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms says it is meeting with state governors in order to reach an agreement for states to suspend some low-revenue taxes.

The panel said the move would lead to the suspension of ‘nuisance taxes’ by states and local government authorities across the country.

The Chairman of the committee, Taiwo Oyedele, stated this during an interview on a monitored program on some of the initiatives of the committee.

The tax panel chairman lamented that most of the taxes especially those imposed on the transport of goods from the North to the South and vice versa were negatively affecting the poor.
