Kano State Internal Revenue Service

A State Government Establishment Charged with Tax Administration in Kano. Vision Statement; To become the most efficient and transparent revenue generation agency in Nigeria, built on integrity, accountability and taxpayers confidence. Mission Statement To render value added services to taxpayers and entrenching a sustainable system of tax administration and optimized revenue generation to be an efficient and effective revenue-generating agency providing continuous flow of IGR, to the state in line with international best practices for the sustenance of good governance. Strategic Objectives Just as it was for the Vision and Mission, the KIRS did not also have any list of Strategic Objectives. So the participants were led to develop and draft such strategic objectives from the provisions of the enabling laws and the mandates. The following is the list of strategic objectives aggregated. To collect all taxes and penalties due to the government under the relevant laws. To account for tax revenue generated for the state. To make appropriate recommendations to the JTB on tax matters. To implement all relevant tax laws that may be enacted. To provide a database of all taxable persons/ organizations for the state. To undertake tax payer education. Because these Strategic Objectives were developed from the enabling laws, there was no question of them not matching with the mandates of the Board.
