“I commend the commissioners for contributing to the development of the tax jurisprudence through the delivery of sound judgments. From available reports, they have always exhibited a high level of commitment, probity and transparency in the discharge of their responsibilities.

“I want to also use this medium to appreciate and thank the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, and all those who contributed to the development of the new TAT (Procedure Rules) and the e-filling platform.

“These two landmark achievements are expected to improve the efficiency of the tribunals for timely and quicker delivery of judgments, which in turn, will improve compliance and collection,” he said.
