In Nigeria, personal income tax is a tax on individuals' earnings used to fund public services.

It is administered by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and varies based on income levels and tax brackets.

Some individuals, celebrities especially, may refuse to pay this tax for various reasons.

📄Tax evasion

Some people intentionally avoid paying taxes by underreporting their income, inflating deductions, or engaging in other illegal activities to evade taxes. They may do this to retain more of their income or to avoid government scrutiny.

📄 Some may refuse to pay personal income tax as a form of protest against specific tax policies or government actions. They may believe that the tax system is unfair, inefficient, or mismanaged and choose to withhold their tax payments as a form of civil disobedience.

📄Lack of trust and dissatisfaction is also a reason people refuse to pay personal income tax if they perceive corruption, wasteful spending, or a lack of accountability, they may choose to withhold their tax payment as a way of expressing their discontent.

📄Financial hardship:

Some individuals may struggle to meet their financial obligations and find it difficult to pay personal income tax. They may prioritize other essential expenses or simply lack the funds necessary to fulfill their tax obligations.

It's not just about celebs. Self-employed people rarely pay taxes in Nigeria because they don't see the benefits of paying taxes. You pay taxes to one sick politician and he uses your tax to carry olosho.

No wonder Anambra indigenes were paying taxes in abundance to the Pandora criminal Peter Obi who was not able to raise IGR by 1%

E ni de carry olosho but still never se wetin the bastard do with money.
