The House of Representatives on Wednesday urged the Federal Ministry of Finance to suspend the planned increase of import duty on used and new vehicles. The resolution emanated from a motion moved by Rep. Nathaniel Agunbiade (APC-Osun), which was adopted without debate. According to Agunbiade, the planned 70 per cent tariff will have a multiplier effect of 250 per cent increase on the value of the affected items, adding that it will definitely lead to higher prices of vehicles. He noted that although Jan. 2014 had been set for the commencement of the policy, none of the assembly plants the policy sought to protect would have started production in the country. The legislator stressed that care must be taken not to bring too much pain on Nigerians, adding that the policy might encourage smuggling through the land borders. The Federal Government, on Nov. 25, announced the planned increase of the import duty on used and new vehicles from the current 20 per cent to 70 per cent. It could be recalled that the Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, recently directed that imported, fully-built unit (FBU) of cars shall now attract 35 percent duty and 35 percent levy, totaling 70 percent charges for both new and fairly-used vehicles. http://www.dailytimes.com.ng/article/reps-urge-fg-suspend-new-tariff-used-vehicles |
