Recently, the FIRS was offered the NPFL platform to engage the football community towards sensitising them on the benefits of paying taxes and other government charges such as the Value Added Tax (VAT).
Based on this partnership, the perimeter boards at all NPFL match venues have been adopted as tax education platforms.
Shehu Dikko, Chairman of LMC remarked that the scheme will now be known as “VAT Wonder Goal”, and would also serve as a tool for educating the football community on the importance of paying VAT.
