Over the years, FIRS proudly announces that they have the most lucrative salaries in Nigeria. Given the vast amount of revenue that the country accrues, FIRS’s salary structure is quite different from what is obtainable in a regular public sector. Like every well-structured organization, FIRS staff comprises individuals from almost every field which enables the organization to run very smoothly.<\/p>\n

Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), which was established in 1943, is a regulatory agency charged with the responsibility of assessing, collecting, and accounting for revenues and taxes accruable to the Federal Government of Nigeria. These revenues are utilized in financing government expenses. Some of its workers include Engineers, Accountants, Administrators, Tax Officers, and many others who ensure the daily running of the corporation. FIRS also employ corps members who are paid stipends for their services.<\/p>\n
