HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The Taraba State Board of Internal Revenue came into being following the creation of Taraba State on 27th August, 1991. Like Many government departments, the board started operation in a temporary accommodation and moved to the present location at 56, Hammaruwa way, Jalingo in October, 2003.

On creation in 1991, the board had area offices at Jalingo, Wukari, Takum, and Gembu. However, due to increased volume of work and in order to bring tax and administration closer to the people, additional offices were opened at Bali, Mutum Biyu and Karim Lamido. In addition to these area offices are collection centres located at Zing, Pantisawa, Lau, Sunkani, Donga, Ibi, Kurmi, Serti and Lissan. Similarly, drivers license processing centres have been opened in Jalingo, Zing, Takum and Gembu.

At the inception, the principal tax laws administered by the board were the ITMA (1961) and PTL (1962). These laws were however repeated by the enactment of PITA in 1993 being a uniform tax law in the country. The Chief Executive of the Board is the Executive Chairman who is also a member of the Joint Tax Board.
