Voluntary Asset and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS) is a scheme by the Federal Government to help increase tax awareness and compliance among Nigerians. This scheme grants all tax-paying citizens a limited opportunity to regularize their tax status without penalty or interest charges.

All citizens are advised to declare their assets as the Federal Government have put in place a team of international asset tracers and investigative specialists to help track assets held by Nigerians. The scheme would last from the 1st July 2017 to the31st March 2018 after which there will be no form of compassion for tax evaders who fail to utilize this scheme.

VAIDS offers a very flexible payment plan with provision for installment payments in the scheme. This scheme, like many other successfully implemented international tax schemes, will help to generate a substantial amount of revenue to complement the dwindling revenue generated from oil. The scheme is estimated to help generate about US$1billion worth of revenue. These funds would help to reduce Nigeria’s borrowing needs,spur development and allow investment in vital infrastructure.

Declaration is for who has because if u wish to multiply one billion nothing believe me you will surely have one billion zero in return. Has it been all our polithielfcians are investing with the looting money here people will be able to get job and from there they will be able to pay tax in the polithielfcians will also have more money to loot but now no company no job and the Price of oil will soon drop.

Honestly ...

If you that a look at all the top 25 economy in the world

Compare gdp to their yearly national budget/revenue then compare what you see to Nigeria you would instantly know why we are undeveloped

You can have a national budget lest than 5% of your gdp and expect something serious

Until we have a budget of at least $100bn we can get any meaningful development

The people must be made to pay tax so taut they in turn would be forced to check mate their leaders and not be easily bribed or moved by sentiment during election

Answer: Tommy Vercetti

A country without data of the whole citizens living on her shores, no public assistance whatsoever to citizens, disregard for citizen welfare. Tax is like a relatinship which is supposed to be two way, you give and receive, the kind of government we run in this country is recieve only at the expense of your citizens.

Goodluck to the detectives and sniffers they really need it.

Yes they do , in terms of vat , transportation , phone tax , luxury tax

We need to stop seeing tax as what is taken out of your monthly salary

Every money you spend 5%( which in every serious country is not less than 15%) is meant to go to the government

When u haven't created enabling environment, u want to purnish those struggling, what have u done with the much u have?

electricity - poor
Security- very poor
Water - zero
Roads almost none


So what are the taxes for.?

Odiegwu... dear Nigerian government. We are not against paying tax..infact we would love to pay. As long as our tax money is used in fixing our roads and giving us good basic amenities, rather than ending up in Private pockets.

this should be a pivot point for the next elections. Vote apc for taxes and more taxes. Or vote some other party..

seems so

If tax in Nigeria is the new oil why is FG spending tax payers on looking for same oil in Lake Chad Basin that led to Boko Haram killing and abducting UNIMAID lecturers.
Why is the core North not predisposed to restructuring of Nigeria so that they can enjoy the 'new oil' without using the Army to invade the oil producing states in the South South and South East. Lubbish!

They kiss my black ass. Govt full of dummies

Provided you're not earning any income, an unemployed person is exempted

Britain survives on Tax and Fines majorly. Then Technology, Tourism, Education, e.t.c.

However, the issue of Tax is this, are people paying? How many People are paying?
What ways are being used to encourage others to pay? Who is the tax burden resting on mostly?
Are the cannons of Taxation in place?
Money generated, how judicious are this funds used?

People should be encouraged to pay taxes and if that is done, revenue generated should be used for the good of those who have paid and the common man. Let it be visible to those paying and beneficial to them, so that they will also be happy and know that yes their money is used judiciously and not "siphoned" to individual pockets.

Most countries survive on Taxes amd Fines. Especially those without Natural Resources and Technology. Even those with Technology as their source of Revenue have never left the issue of Tax at arms length.

If the money is Used properly, we all would enjoy.
