Can you give example of informal tax?
Teenaira:


I think you are right in your thinking. We must start looking at adding value to natural resources and raw materials to derive real values. However, his proposal looks good too. VAT is purely a consumption tax so, the more you consume, the more you pay. Who are the big consumers ? Obviously the rich and unfortunately a lot of them may not be paying personal income tax or they may have a means of playing around with Personal Income tax. So if the recommendation is implemented, we might end up taxing the rich more which is quite good and then reduce the tax burden on the middle class and low income earners. Even corporate tax is recommended to go down. The real challenge is informal taxes on the poor and corporate bodies. How is government going to get these guys to stop their nefarious activity which has been a part of us for ages ?

Can you give a clear summary of what the guy is trying to say. Just a brief summary.

I don't quite understand his message.
Segzy19:
Not defending the Tinubu government but I can boldly tell you that this piece of news here is just sensational and not the whole news...

I watched this guy explained everything on channels TV, Politics Today live yesterday.

They also plan to give a lot of tax exemptions to various sets of people and sectors too... No tax of raw foods, health, education ... They also plan to exempt certain people who are low earners (certain salary grades and levels ) from tax but 10% vat will surely apply to whatever you buy from a 5-star hotel.... Going to a 5-star hotel shows that you are wealthy and can afford, then you should be able to pay tax... Local government too will partake of the tax revenue.

I listened to him and he made a lot of sense.

But this poster of this news has just decided to pick a portion of the news that suits his/her emotions and puts it up here....

The funny thing is that most people commenting here have not and did not watch the interview before commenting.

If they did, they would see that VAT is not increasing for EVERYTHING, in fact, essential items bordering on food, health, housing, education and transport will have VAT removed totally (which is the area that affects the greater number of Nigerians). An example he gave was that, how many Nigerians do buy a new car...these are the kind of items that will see VAT rise to 10%.

Companies with earnings bellow 50 million will be able to claim back VAT expenses.

Sure it's still a proposal which came about after consultations with interest groups. People can still make thir contributions before it is passed.

Thanks for the explanations.

Una problem is that you want to bring everyone to your level.

Agbadorians like you are mostly Church rats .

What do you mean by company will be able to claim their VAT back? Please stop misinforming people, how can company claim VAT back when it is not their money or expenses? VAT is a form of tax,sellers of goods and services collect form their customers on behalf of government. E.g if a company is selling their products #100 and vat rate is 10% the company will charge their customers #110 and pay government the #10 ontop. There is no way the company can claim it back becauseit is not their money.

People really under-estimated Tinubu's penchant for looting to perpetuate himself and his cronies in power for the foreseeable future like he has done in Lagos since 1999.

Future elections need to be bought and the money must come from somewhere innit ?

APC members and supporters are exempted.

Thanks for the correction, there was no intention to mislead, it was written in error. WHT was the tax intended to be written, in addition to state that companies earning below 50million in turnover will be largely exempted from most of the taxes (VAT, WHT, Income tax etc).

I have modified the comment to show that.

I wrote VAT in error and have now modified the comment to "WHT" which was my original intention. I have also expanded the phrase to include small companies (with 50million below as turnover) being exempted from most of the taxes including VAT.

Increasing tax is not the major problem here..

The main problem here is the embezzlement of the proceeds..

If Nigerians complain now, Bayo-Onanuga will start releasing series of statements, and listing out countries that have VAT of 10% and above, 15% and above, 20% and above, and so on..
He won't be telling us their GDPs-Per-Capita, or their Minimum Wage, or their quality of life.
