A proposed service tax on certain electronically supplied services in Nigeria will increase the costs of doing business and make internet access unaffordable for a vast swathe of the population, the Government has been warned. www.tax-news.com/news/Nigeria_Urged_To_Rethink_Communication_Services_Tax____72067.html |

Why make policies that will make the poor suffer more? Why not increase taxes for the rich, example Tax anyone with over N2millon annual salary of 9% VAT and more depending on the pay. In that way you can alleviate the poor from suffering. The gap between the rich and the poor is too wide. 72 Likes 6 Shares |

Paying is not the problem, but the problem is that the government will eat up the money as usual. Ask GEJ what he did with the money gotten from oil subsidy removal, after delivering his speech on New year's day and promising to build new hospitals, create employment blah blah blah. It was after then some people died including a pregnant woman during a stampede in one immigration recruitment exercise. He failed and lost out, now another thief is on seat and you people don't know they are all the same, you come here and turn on one another everyday under the guise of PMB and GEJ camp, why they keep on having behind door meetings. The same thief who was your commissioner some years ago will become your governor and then end up in the Senate some years later and you are wondering why the country is not just stagnant but moving backward. I pray for you all to receive sense for the sake of your children. 41 Likes 3 Shares |

It's rather unfortunate that we have a situation where the masses are the servant of their leaders. This is betrayal in the true sense of it. Well, it didn't start today, representative government has always been the worst form of dictatorship ever experienced by the human race because of the smoke screen it does present; giving the masses a false sense of stake in the society. What stops the government from introducing property tax to check the ever widening gap between both the rich and the poor? Unless the Nigerian govt has always been about the rich. The collected tax will be used to provide for the luxurious lifestyle of our leaders. Like servicing the 7 private jets at the disposal of the president, the #1.7billion for food, while the rest goes to feed our already over feed National Assembly. And this is even coming at a point when economic activity is on the fall and stimulus packages should be on the roll out to get the economy working again. It's obvious we are not coming out of this recession anytime soon. My Advice to the masses is to start lynching our politicians. Ex Gov of Rivers state Rotimi Amaechi once said that the reason they misbehave is because we do not stone them. And truly how hard can that be? 4 Likes |

Before you talk about adding taxes you should first cut government expenditure. Too much is wasted by the federal government for anyone to talk about adding more taxes. Also, what happened to increasing the tax collection rate? Why are people talking about adding taxes when they do such a poor job of collecting the taxes that they already have? 4 Likes |

Government is head bent in making the poor suffer more. Why must everything be taxed when you have virtually done nothing to alleviate poverty in this nation. Why not tax the rich like Someone who has more than a car will pay tax for the others, tax based on the number of building you have, tax based on your net income(maybe from #3m and above) and other rather than making the poor pay for everything. The gap between the poor and rich is unimaginably wide. 2 Likes |

menxer: A member of the HOR, Honourable Bede Eke Uchenna from Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency, Imo State. I think we need to be a little more enlightened in public discourses. Government is a continuum and not everything is about party or the President. This bill is sponsored by by a PDP Rep after all. The question should be, is it good or not?, not insulting personalities. 6 Likes |

mccoy47: I guess if oil prices go up, the taxes will go,and you would be singing PMB praises. The simple fact is, we are an oil dependent nation. So long as the oil prices were high, we could afford not to tax everyone extra. We wasted the money we could have saved on corruption, and on deceiving Nigerians that we were prosperous. In reality, the basis of our wealth was false. And the sooner we wake up to that fact and realize that there is no such thing as free lunch, the better. We are going to have to walk a hard and arduous path to self reliance. I hope APC is interested in that path, beyond raising taxes...they have to fix the lights and end corruption. |

Honza27: No. The problem is that we used high oil prices to live a false life. Now the money is gone, and we have to tighten our belts. The only issue now is whether the government is willing to tighten their belts too...and whether we are ready to do the hard work to become an industrial nation.....which is our only guaranteed path to prosperity. This is not an excuse for APC.....but a call to action. |
