These measures are coming from people who want to destroy Nigeria and make it look like Somalia and Eritrea. The puppet is being controlled by the West through the IMF and World Bank. They have something on him, so they've caged and manipulated him into submission otherwise, they would let the cat out of the bag. We are in real trouble, and there's still a long way to go. The bridge is too far, so everyone should brace themselves.

You should ask PayPal for starters—except you’re saying KYC is a Nigerian thing.

PayPal does not require a Tax Number to open an account.

Lol... Who ever listed Paypal as a bank? As always in a bid to defend trash, you ended up sounding inept. Even the yankee where paypal is dominant; they don't need tax ID to open or operate bank accounts. only businesses require such.

And you don't seem to know what KYC means. No one has more KYC info than the banks... This is just silly policies and has nothing to do with KNOWING YOUR CUSTOMER!

A mandatory tax ID is not what Nigerians need right now.
The bill should be thrown out.

What's the essence of stamp duty charges?

When we make a transfer, government tax us as well

When you make a phone call, we pay tax

When we buy groceries in the supermarket we pay tax

On everything we buy, we definitely pay tax

So which tax again are we talking about here?

Multiple taxation here & there
That's the way it should be. That's the reason you sell your mansion to japa so that you can enjoy the things that payment of taxes provided.
Nigeria must move forward.

Fair point but tracking or recording a transaction is not same as taxing the customer or is it?

Bottom line is it's not needed. Normally, if our systems were properly integrated, we don't need anything more than BVN. It has all our biological info and what not. The BVN is more than sufficient to track, record and even provide further oversight on whatever bank account or transaction. The tax ID is more often for the company or business and not even the person that owns the business because with the person's SSN, all shits (good or bad) are availabe and that includes taxes paid... The Tax ID makes the business an entity and eligible to pay tax as the business isn't a human that can be issued an ssn

A Corrupt and wasteful government can never achieve anything even if they triple tax everybody.

One of T-pain's aggressive but tactless e-advocates. You want to tax poverty?

You don't want to pay tax?

Nigerians hate paying tax or any other dues but want to enjoy things free. That's not saying our leaders have been good though

Tinubu has always been an anti masses person. Even when he was governor of Lagos
Re: New Bill Mandates Tax ID For Opening Bank Accounts by Bimpe29: 7:40am On Oct 11
This is a nice way of expanding the tax net but this present government led by Tinubu lacks moral justification for collecting taxes from the tax payers.

Yes I have, but all they require is your Social Security number for personal accounts, and not a Tax ID.

They also delineate between receipt of money from family/friends and sales, since some people use their account for business.

While I see your point I do not agree with you as I think every adult with a capacity to receive income/inflow should have a tax ID which can be used to effectively managed the automatic stabilizers like transfer payments (Direct cash transfers to citizens).

Exactly If neo-bank should require that what should expect from a traditional bank?

Still not necessary for the reason you gave as the government already has access to BVN database that's directly linked to our accounts. Bro, you might as well stop now. There's no reasonable defence for this.

The BVN is not a government asset; rather, the NIN and TIN are. If you are a poor person this is not something to worry about but if your transactions flows exceeds 25M then you have been ripping the government off the needed taxes but not anymore smiley
