Taiwo Oyedele, the Chairman, Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms writes:

SESSION ON TAX REFORM BILLS WITH THE SENATE

Today, we had a productive session with the Senate to discuss the tax reform bills. A few days ago, we had a very engaging session with the House of Representatives.

We are grateful to the National Assembly for giving us the opportunity to speak to the bills and clarify possible grey areas and contentious issues.

We are confident that our lawmakers will consider the bills favourably in the overall interest of Nigeria and Nigerians.

As a product of PWC and one of the most brilliant tax consultants I know, Taiwo should be an asset to this administration.
But knowing Tinubu and his reputation for failure, I doubt it.
This administration has one of the best guys in its financial reform committees including Bismark Rewane and yet, the country is in disarray economically.
It is well sha

Mr Tax make sure your policies have human face all the time.

To every Nigerian that are victims of Persecution under Tinubu's government may we all escape.

B like ds one nor well! Na ona b d Nigerians naw abi u wan dey whine...

Tax collectors

Yorubas too get talent

I really don't envy this man.

Somebody that has an eye for talent is same person you are claiming has a reputation for failure. See, if you want to support your brother, you have a right to do so but know that a leader is the one who is able to spot talent and delegate responsibility to them.

It is not by the one who attends the most burials that makes you a success

Na why we have to restructure to REGIONALISM.

Make everybody govern their region the way they like.

This present structure go just dull you and render you ineffective

See as Ndume be like fish out of water, I thought he was making noise that the tax reform bill will not be heard... A chicken who thinks himself an eagle! Shior

1000% correct. It only forces the most talented and most resourceful to work under 'One Nigeria' which then makes them blunt and unproductive. The Yorubas are being held back by 'one Nigeria'.

Opposing improved VAT usage at source/state of generation, to ensure the ethos of fairness and healthy competition reflect on the judgement Government makes on behalf of the society, is the natural, progressive and equitable thing to do.

No SW State will oppose such yet we currently see the parasitic, backwards and beggarly North vehemently opposing the bill while their slaves in the SE rush to support the regressive antics of the North.

Whzt good can ever come from a system that only rewards the indolent and covetous, from the North and SE, while punishing those contributing the most to the central pots, like VAT, feeding our entire nation? One Nigeria is indeed horrendously holding back Yorubas who are an equitable and progressive people.

Please try and know the basics of any issue before you comment. The tax reform bill, when passed into law, will leave the common man much better off as it is mainly about more efficient and fairer collection of tax with with more equitable use of value added tax (VAT) by stakeholders at source of generation.

You said it all.

"One Nigeria" is the big stick the beneficiaries and the naive use to chain you, and silence you in this system.

Yorubas must break out from the shackles of "One Nigeria" to begin to fulfill our true potential.

Not against real unity BUT this "One Nigeria" system is destined to fail.

He is not there for his intellect or competence; he is just another collection for the bullion. He is required to do what the bullion wants nothing more.

This guy look like a private university graduate in bennin republic. They good at talking but bad in action.

God bless you brother and well-said. Only a fool will not appreciate that 'One Nigeria' is the biggest open scam in the world whereby those who are hardworking, peaceful, progressive and productive, plus committed to always doing the right things by Nigeria, are punished with the unfair commandeering of their cumulative output.

In contrast those who are lazy, beggarly, fundamentalist and terror-inclined , indolent and vagrant elements, who will not even stay in their States to improve them or demand better governance, are rewarded unfairly through receiving much more federal largesse than they deserve.

Why will those sort, receiving far more than they contribute, ever feel the need to work harder or be more productive when they can easily flee to the SW for succour and sustenance only to then be insulting, dragging and denigrating Yorubas 24/7?

He is another one who will realise, when it is too late to stop Jagaban, that Tinubu may not talk much but his will to get things done is far more dominant and effective than the show of noise and drama the likes of Ndume thinks will get them results.

Shut up. Those are the best advisers we have around. You know nothing but to rant everyday on Nairaland. Give the government time. He has not even spent 3 years.

Sometimes it takes a little time, the most import thing is you acknowledge that he's fit for the job, now allow him do the job.

Good job from Mr Oyedele and the Tax Reform team.

I am neither an economist nor tax expert. But one thing holds true, you can only tax what is incoming or earned. I want to hear from other agencies like the Ports, customs, CBN e.t.c, what they are doing or plan to do to provide an enabling environment for small and medium scale businesses to flourish. Can we have a holistic and integrated approach that can work for everybody?

you mean failure like LG financial autonomy that is making life comfortable for your father in the village? failure like offset of $7billion FX backlog? failure like rise in external reserve to over $40billion? The ongoing repayment of 69 different loans obtained from OBJ to GEJ. Bros, learn how recognise success when you see one and stop being unnecessarily hateful

Kudos to the committee,this guy is an asset very intelligent.regardless I see light at the end of the tunnel.nothing good comes easy

you can't educate a man who is blinded by emotion,who thinks that no other person can get it right except the one he supported during election as such they don't see and wish anything good for Nigeria

This government isn't talking about creating jobs at all but how to tax Nigerians to death further.

We are already taxed at all fronts even if it's done indirectly:

The savings accounts, bank transfers, incoming deposits, fixed deposits, stocks, mutual funds, Treasury bills, bonds, Letter of Administration, phone calls and data, items eatable and non eatable( including electricity meter and bills despite constant power failures and quarter currents) etc.

We never noticed this under PDP but tax is the hall mark of APC government even when there are no added value to their government's services.
