Politics / FG Exempts SMEs, Manufacturers, Farmers From Paying Withholding Tax by Finegirl734(f): 2:40pm On Jul 02 |
The Federal Government has approved the exemption of small businesses, manufacturers and farmers from paying withholding tax as a way of reducing the tax burden on businesses.
The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, disclosed this in a statement on his official X handle on Tuesday. According to him, the government has also introduced key changes to the previous tax regime such as reduction of rates for businesses with low margins and measures to curb evasion.
Oyedele added that President Bola Tinubu has approved the new withholding tax regime for the country with the official gazette expected to be signed in the coming days.
He stated that the erstwhile withholding tax system introduced in 1978 had challenges such as the ambiguity necessitated by the increase in transactions that it covered thereby increasing the list of multiple taxes, inequity, straining the working capital of businesses with low margins etc.
Withholding Tax is a method form collecting Income Tax in advance, deducted at rates ranging from 5 per cent to 10 per cent based on the transaction. Returns are due by the 21st of the following month.
The penalty for late filing is N25,000 for the first month and N5,000 for each subsequent month of non-compliance.
Oyedele further stated that key changes introduced to the rewritten withholding tax regime include; reduced rates for businesses with low margins, measures to curb evasion and tax avoidance, exemption of small businesses from withholding tax, clarity on the timing of deductions and key terms etc.
He stated, “Withholding tax was introduced into the Nigeria tax system in 1977 to serve as an advance payment of income tax on specified transactions.”
“As the regime expanded over time to cover more transactions, various ambiguities and complications crept in. This resulted in many businesses, especially SMEs, being exposed to excessive burden of compliance and a strain on the working capital of low-margin businesses. “As part of the ongoing fiscal policy and tax reforms, a new withholding tax regime has been approved. The key changes introduced are to address the identified challenges and specifically include the exemption of small businesses from Withholding Tax compliance and reduced rates for businesses with low margins. “Exemptions for manufacturers and producers such as farmers, measures to curb evasion and minimise tax avoidance.
“Ease of obtaining credit and utilisation of tax deducted at source, changes to reflect emerging issues and adopt global best practices and clarity on the timing of deduction and definition of key terms.”
The latest approval is the second of five planned executive orders to reduce inflation and grow tax revenue.

Politicians are the same, from Emilokan Tinubu to Bitter Hero Beer Obituary, to Atikulation Abubakar, to Olusegun Obasanjo, to Yele Sowore, to any political elite you can think about. They are all there for themselves and their families. So concentrate on your life, so that you will not regret it like those before you Was this necessary?

Politics / Stop Ex-minister Diezani From Using My Name, Estranged Husband Urges Court by Finegirl734(f): 1:22pm On Jul 02 |
A former Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Alison Madueke, has filed a petition in the Lagos State High Court, seeking a legal declaration to end his marriage to Diezani and requesting that she stop using his last name.
He is asking the court to order the former Minister of Petroleum Resources to revert to her maiden name, Agama.
This was contained in Madueke’s petition for jactitation of marriage (declaration that a marital union has ended).
The ex-Chief of Naval Staff argues that Diezani’s ongoing use of his name despite their marriage being legally over is damaging to his reputation and could lead to unintended consequences, including mistaken liability, particularly given the corruption allegations against her. Madueke is a former military governor of Anambra and Imo states. He married Diezani on June 30, 1999, under the Marriage Act.
The petitioner, Madueke, noted that Diezani had previously filed for divorce at the Nassarawa State High Court in Mararaba Gurku in November 2021, citing an irreconcilable breakdown of their marriage, seeking to end their union formally.
He said he did not oppose the suit, resulting in the court’s dissolution of the marriage, yet Diezani persists in using his surname, despite the formal termination of their marital union. He stated, “On the 13th day of April 2022, judgment was delivered in Suit No. NSD/MG345/2021 by Hon. Justice A.A. Ozegya dissolving the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent on the ground that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.
“The said dissolution of marriage has now become absolute by the operation of law.
“Even though the marriage has been dissolved and is now legally finalised, the respondent continues to use the petitioner’s first name (Alison) and surname (Madueke) as her own without any justification or consent from the petitioner.
“It is now more than two-years that the respondent continues to use the name of the petitioner to his embarrassment.”
Madueke revealed that he directed his legal representatives to serve Diezani a formal request on December 14, 2023, demanding that she cease using his surname and revert to her maiden name, Agama.
However, despite this legal notice, Diezani has failed to respond and continues to use his name.
The petition further read, “The respondent has continued to hold out herself as the wife of the petitioner even when the marriage has been dissolved. He also prayed for a perpetual injunction restraining the respondent from further asserting, by words or conduct, the existence of marriage between them.
He is seeking a court order that compels Diezani to revert to her maiden name and to publicly announce in a national newspaper, both in Nigeria and the UK, that she has ceased using his surname.
Diezani has held several significant positions in the Nigerian government, including Minister of Transportation, Minister of Mines and Steel Development, and Minister of Petroleum Resources.
She was also the first female President of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, elected in November 2014.
Diezani was accused by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of embezzling $2.5bn from the Nigerian government during her tenure from 2010 to 2015 under President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
Corruption allegations have led to her arrest and legal proceedings in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
