Sequel to https://www.nairaland.com/3889440/osinbajo-declares-every-thursday-taxthursday Acting President, Osinbajo has also offered nine months grace period to tax payers to regularise their tax status or face criminal prosecution for tax offences.

Osinbajo gave the ultimatum in Abuja on Thursday at the inauguration of the Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDs).

He said the scheme was specially targeted at taxpayers who had not declared their taxable incomes and assets, as well as those who don’t pay at all, and those who had been underpaying or under remitting.

Osinbajo said the scheme would cover all federal and state taxes such as companies’ income tax, personal income tax, petroleum profit tax, capital gains tax, stamp duties and tertiary education tax.

Osinbajo said that those who failed to take advantage of the nine months grace period would face criminal investigation and if found guilty may face up to five-years jail term.

Also, only 214 Nigerians pay taxes of about N20 million annually and about 900 Nigerians pay N10 million as tax every year.

Come suck my balls I wont pay when you were busy messing up the economy you never thought of this outcome, my resolution is that till this govt is out of power no more personal income tax or company tax or any thing called tax.

No Nigerian is owing the Nigerian govt any dime but instead it's the Nigerian govt that is owing us for years of Neglect of the duties and responsibilities to us...No electricity yet we are charged monthly , no roads, no potable water supply , no security , absolutely nothing to show for all the years of Tax we have paid ....

After all, small time I don enter the promise land. So now it is tax that you people offered to Nigerians.

Why not? when the minister of finance studied in the UK

pay tax to a country that doesn't provide nor subsidize anything for its citizens!


let the government start by providing 24 hours electricity, portable water in every home, good hospitals and good road, well equipped schools and recreational centres, then they wont have to force us to pay tax - we will willingly pay it!

... My reply to the acting president is this: Fulfil your election promises or be voted out of office like Jonathan and PDP.

Yahoo boys too must be taxed

From Stamp Duty to payment of Tax. The ones I have been paying to Lagos state Government for the past 4 years, yet I still generate power for myself, still swim inside water when going to work cos of bad road. It is well. Na only God go deliver Nigeria.
