The chairman noted that the FCT-IRS would continue to prioritise voluntary tax compliance over punitive measures.
Mr Sumaila said that filing annual returns of income from all sources was mandatory for all taxpayers.
Mr Ango stated that the law mandates every person, whether in employment or not, to file their annual income tax returns by March 31 every year.
He argued that most suspects being investigated by EFCC for financial crimes were not tax compliant.
According to him, the best form of compliance is voluntary.
He also commended the support of the Senate and house committees on FCT.
FCT-IRS has created a dedicated unit to tax more than 10,000 high-net-worth individuals in Abuja.
Mr Ango urged employees to take deliberate steps to uphold the integrity of the service.
Mr Ango takes over from Haruna Abdullahi.
“Today, we went out to execute the court orders, which ordered the FCT-IRS to seal off the premises of defaulting taxpayers brought before it.”
