We all pay vat when we buy vatable goods by cash. So, what’s wrong with paying vat when we buy vatable goods online? If what you are buying is not excluded by the VAT act, you must pay vat irrespective of whether you’re buying online or paying cash directly.

In addition, FG needs to start imposing income tax on foreign social media platforms like Google, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. All revenues generated by these platforms from Nigeria should be fully subjected to Nigeria taxes.

Do u pay monthly rent in the US, do u cut your hair with over 3k naira minimum equivalent to how much used to cut hair here....do u pay ur mechanic by the hour?

jabberjawz:
Thank God I don't pay tax to these useless thieves.

citygarden:
Even before federal government impose this plan, shoprite have been collecting 5% vAT for long time. We pay VAT of any item we buy from shoprite already. Hope we've not been scam already

don4real18:
Do not complain if you refused to join the protest. The elites understand how weak you are. I'm still wondering how 5% population can intimidate 95%.
Someone whom I know that gave the government support against the protest by openly condemning it on his social media handle is looking for someone to loan him some money to run out of the country. Imagine the hypocrisy displayed by the young man.

Bobo u too dull.
Ayam not in the states, i dey uyo.
U dey compare US to naija n am asking u the minimum wage in the states.

Ultimus:
I wouldn't be surprised if this includes card payments on the government Remita platform. Imagine paying tax to the government because you want to "pay" them.

koboko69:


What state cab u compare with Lagos.
Go play for sand abeg!

foolbuster:
Thats the only thing this government is excellent at, taxing the already poverty stricken populace.
I transfer money to you, FG collects cut.
I make purchase online FG collects cut.
On top of it all i will still pay tax.
And we are like close to 200 million people in this shithole.
Yet ordinary 30k minimum wage, they have been speaking grammar for months now.
What a government!!

Oya make we comot protest, for where? all these wretched government E rats on this forum notably . This wickedness you guys are aiding purely for selfish reasons must consume you all.

Dpharisee:
It means online shops like Jumia and Konga will increase prices of items and everyone will go back to the local markets

Americans see where their taxes are going but Nigerians can't see a thing the govt does with taxes

Lukay99:


you speak as if most Nigerians are already paying lots of taxes, almost all Americans pay taxes. even a one day old American baby indirectly pays taxes. very few people in Nigeria actually pay the real taxes. how much did the Nigerian federal government generated from tax when compared to what the American federal, State, city government generated from taxes. can you compare Nigerian federal tax revenues to a common city like Atlanta's tax revenue?

American government can do more infrastructure projects because it gets more tax revenues while the Nigerian government gets very little tax revenue.

we should take your advice and not create more taxes revenues to fund development. just remember that the number one problem in every ministries in Nigeria is funding for needed projects

obama30:


Thank God my business is in abroad where my Tax money is use wisely. Nigeria is just my country by mouth but i don't have anything here.
useless nation. all money from oil is not enough is now about taken from the poor and add to the one rich have. although the masses enjoy it.

asuustrike1:

Unfortunately you do. You pay it indirectly on calls on your service providers and the things you purchase from stores

FarahAideed:


There is no Nigerian that doesn't pay tax please get your facts right sir

Nemesis909:


And when would they know this?

koboko69:

First tell the oil expatriates working in Mobil, shell and other companies to go back to their country. Tell all foreigners who left their countries to work and live in Nigeria to go back to their countries first. I can choose to live and work anywhere i am allowed to in the world. Thanks

SirLakes:
Wow, right thinking government

E rats notably calculusx, gazzuzz etc in the Autos and cartalk sections of this forum are the worst set of people when it comes to greediness, wickedness and selfishness.

Nemesis909:


Shatap.

I bought an item in the UK for 8.32 and paid a VAT of 1.67 giving a value of exactly 20%.

toolovely:

So after paying vat, bank will still deduct their own charges.

If a local store puts a price tag on a commodity with vat inclusive, you decide to pay with your card, and then the bank will deduct another 5% from you again.

If they are really serious, let them introduce property tax. That's where they should start from.

VULCAN:
A supporter of overtaxation

One of the BMC's spotted.

With all the taxes that the three tiers of government pile on businesses you support a new 5% tax on online transactions. How wicked

The current rate of business failure is the greatest it has ever been in our history.

Very obvious you are not a business owner. Probably a student being fed by his parents. Or a disgruntled employee.
