FIRS Explains Budgets for Dressing Allowance, other Expenditures

FIRS Explains Budgets for Dressing Allowance, other Expenditures

The Management of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) wishes to draw the attention of the taxpaying public and the staff to a misleading report that: “FIRS to spend N2.8bn on uniforms, N550m on meals.”

In the first place, it is not true that the Service had delivered the Budget Estimate to the two chambers of the National Assembly. Instead, the draft budget estimate was submitted only to the House Committee on Finance. Also, its claim that “the total budget of the FIRS stands at N228 billion” is blatantly not true. Again, what the media report referred to as Uniform is the Corporate Outfit (Dressing Allowance) enjoyed by all the staff. Similarly, the sum of N17.8 billion being bandied as an estimate for miscellaneous expenses is grossly false.

Read Also:

  • Soldiers, forest guards to tackle insecurity in Kwara State
  • Anambra Police Arrest Man with Human Breast; Rescue Abducted Driver, Recover Goods Worth N9.5m
  • Police Arrest 43 Illegal Immigrants, Human Traffickers, Rescue Victim

To be sure, the correct figure is N11.36 billion which represents the estimate for key administrative expenses for the whole year that the Service proposed to the National Assembly being an amount that would be incurred when approved, in respect of its over 500 operating offices and functions as well as for its 11,300 workforce. For clarity, the estimated expenses are for medical expenses for over 11,300 staff, publicity, adverts & taxpayers education, welfare packages & festivity allowance to staff, corporate outfit grant (dressing allowance to staff), honorarium & sitting allowance for staff/stakeholders, sporting activities, and postages & courier services.

The public is, therefore, to note that the amount budgeted for the above-listed items represents merely 5.26% of the total budget estimate for the year, 2022.

With these details of well-intentioned provisions in the budgetary estimates which were put together by the relevant departments in the Service, it is crystal clear that the Management is consciously committed to quality service delivery and staff welfare. Therefore, Management will continue to do everything within the limits of available resources to motivate and bouy up the morale of the staff.

As a revenue-generating agency, the Service remains strongly committed to its mandate of mobilising revenue for the three tiers of government. The Management, therefore, frowns at the uncharitable attempt to drag its well-wrought tax administration efforts into the murky waters of politics, as doing so will not serve any positive purpose.
