PRESIDENT BUHARI SIGNS INSTRUMENTS OF RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT WITH SINGAPORE AGAINST DOUBLE TAXATION

Date:

Following the approval of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), President Muhammadu Buhari Monday signed two instruments namely:

The Instrument of Ratification of the Agreement between the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Government of the Republic of Singapore for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income and Capital Gains.

The other was the Instrument of Ratification of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) among the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; the Swiss Federal Council and the International Development Association on the Return, Monitoring and Management of Illegally-Acquired Assets Confiscated by Switzerland and to be Restituted to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

READ ALSO  The Yobe State Government has ordered the shutdown of boarding schools over Boko Haram attacks and fears of students.

With the execution of these instruments, Nigeria’s trade relations with Singapore and income therefrom are expected to rise, while the return of illegal assets will not only boost the administration’s anti-corruption drive, but also provide additional funds for critical infrastructure.
