What 0.5% CBN Cyber Security Levy Means by Kingsmeal: 9:27am On May 07 |
What the new levy means is if you do 1million naira transfer, the bank will charge you an extra 5,000 naira to be sent to the NSA office for “cybersecurity”. And if you send 2million, bank will charge you extra 10,000 naira. If you transfer 1 million naira two times in a week, you will be charged #10,000 for cyber security levy. It’s crazy at this point. This is mass financial strangulation. This Lucifer Govt has offered the masses nothing, all it has been doing is to take and take from everyone. 17 Likes 1 Share |

From Emefiele to Cardoso, APC remains the same. Multiple taxation. For every transaction you initiate, you must pay. Electronic levy Stamp duty levy, Account maintenance levy, VAT, cybersecurity levy. Next? Next? Next? Multiple multiple taxation. I have never seen any country in the world, whose government imposes multiple taxation on her citizens via banking like Nigeria. Well, Bad government must consume us all. Both the foolish supporters and the sincere opposers. Dem no dey telly person dat one. 8 Likes |

Now better explained. It means "LEVY THE TRANSFERORS NOT THE TRANSFEREES". IT IS JUST LIKE VAT COLLECTED FROM THE BANKS. THE LEVY SHOULD BE 7.5%-10% NOT 0.5%. 1 Like |

It is 0.005% and not 0.5%. Stop misinforming the public. The above notwithstanding, I think the law is absolutely unnecessary and insensitive at this point in time. It should be repealed immediately. 23 Likes |

seunmsg:It is 0.5%. Mathematically, 0.005.... it's one and same. Rexymania:Take out the last two zeros...... It becomes 200 naira, divide by 2.... You are paying 100 naira levy. 6 Likes |

seunmsg:What I mean is 0.5% and 0.005 are mathematically the same. The levy is 0.5% (or 0.005) 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: What 0.5% CBN Cyber Security Levy Means by seunmsg(m): 11:37am On May 07 |
fergie001: The levy is 0.005 without the act adding %. There is no where in the act where the levy was said to be 0.5%. If the law say 0.005 is the levy, it should not be misinterpreted to mean 0.5%. The only reasonable interpretation is 0.005%. 21 Likes

seunmsg:The image is the CyberCrimes Act 2015 signed by Goodluck Jonathan on Friday May 15, 2015. This same Act was amended this year by the Akpabio-led Senate and christened CyberCrimes Act 2024. The specific amendment was in Section 44 and subsection 2 states 0.5% (or 0.005). Section 44(2)a now reads verbatim: a levy of 0.5% (0.005) equivalent to a half percent of all electronic transactions value by the business specified in the second Schedule of the Act, is to be remitted to the National CyberSecurity Fund (CSF) which shall be administered by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA). 6 Likes 1 Share |

Zulu11zulu:though, not your business, speaks more of the kind of cowards we have in this country. It's not your business, but you want others to go outside and protest on your behalf why you benefit from it. After all, there are no name exemptions to the people who the charges won't affect. If you transfer such amount, you will still pay it, if it doesn't affect you, it will affect your mum, grand mum, dad, cousin, brother, girlfriend whoever it is. 2 Likes |

seunmsg: This creates a lacuna that gives room for lots of legal wrangling. Maybe a clarification from CBN will be in order. |
Re: What 0.5% CBN Cyber Security Levy Means by fergie001: 11:49am On May 07 |
ThierryJay:No lacuna at all.. It was the interpretation when it was signed by GEJ that halted implementation until the new amendment this year. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: What 0.5% CBN Cyber Security Levy Means by ThierryJay: 11:53am On May 07 |
fergie001: So from the letter of the amended Act, is it 0.5% or 0.005%? Modified: just saw your response to seu.nmsg. Thanks for clarifying. It's way too excessive though. |
