The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and France’s Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFIP) have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation and advancing the digital transformation of Nigeria’s revenue administration.

The partnership focuses on compliance management, taxpayer services, data-driven enforcement, and the exchange of innovative ideas to build resilient and forward-looking tax systems. Both institutions also pledged to invest in workforce development, enhancing human capital, professional standards, and globally competent teams for the future of public finance administration.

The MoU further expands cooperation in international taxation, including information exchange, transfer pricing, and Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS), promoting greater transparency, efficiency, and accountability between the two countries.
