The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has asked the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) to ensure compliance with the Taxpayers Identification Number (TIN).
An Assistant Comptroller of Customs; Mr Dera Nnadi made the call in Lagos at a stakeholders’ meeting jointly organised by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
 Nnadi said that the compliance would facilitate quick clearance of cargo at the ports.
 According to him, the tax identification number is a continuation of Automated System of Customs Data method of clearing cargoes in the ports.
 He urged the Federal Inland Revenue Service to extend the same awareness campaign on TIN to traders in the market.
Apparently referring to the success so far recorded, he said:  “I am grateful that our sojourn is yielding result. I am particularly happy with the association of licensed customs agents. There is so much transformation in the association.
 “When we wanted to establish the first computer office in the association’s Chapter office in Apapa, it was like a dream. We were begging people.
 “I am very grateful that the delegation from the association is here. I also expect that we should have similar representation from the market associations from Idumota, Aspanda, from Alaba electrical market, from Ladipo market, because if we get all of them to understand what we are aiming at, we make the road shorter.’’
Speaking in  a similar vein,  The President of the association of Nigerian   Licensed Customs Agents; Prince Olanrewaju Shittu, said that the meeting with the stakeholders would make people to understand the fundamentals of the tax regime.
He said that government should harmonise its tax structure so that there would be no duplication of tax on cargo.
  “People have been coming to my office to complain about the multiple tax system and it only behooves on the government to ensure that something is done”, her said.
