The Jigawa Government has announced a one year tax holiday for all existing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs), whose businesses suffered as a result of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the state.
The state Commissioner for Finance, Alhaji Babangida Umar, who made this known during a press conference in Dutse on Tuesday, said that the tax holiday came into effect on July 1.
Umar also announced an 18-months tax holiday with effect from July 1, 2020, to all new enterprises (Business name only) and individual businesses that would come up after the pandemic in the state.
The commissioner added that the government had extended the filing of tax returns to Sept. 30, 2020, for all existing business names and individual taxpayers in the state.
Umar further announced a reduction of penalty and interest to a single digit, from 10 per cent to 5 percent, and from 21 per cent to 9 per cent for late filing of annual returns by individual taxpayers and enterprises.
