I laugh when they say osinbajo is working,he,calamity kemi and firs fowler are Tinubus three musketeers. They will tank Nigeria and taxvus to death.take Lagos as a case study where they only hype their governors because they own the media while citizens live penury

Where do we get money to pay tax,when Osinbajo had suddenly wake up to task us more and the original looters, budgets padding group, many tax evaders are ready to drained us..

I am beginning to trust Bishopmagic... when he said this Yoruba man is as good as Buhari, I was castigating him....

Alas.... please what's wrong with that Aso rock?? did they bury charm there or wat??

SaulRazor:


I put it to you that no Nigerian is owing the Nigerian govt a single dime and I know what I am saying ...Every single Nigerian loses large amounts of money to the govt daily in different manners from paying for electricity they never recieve to VAT to fallout out of double taxation on goods and services ...Bro it's a big myth when the govt says Nigerians don't pay Tax because you can't escape tax in Nigeria , you pay Value added Tax on every single drop of water you drink , you pay withholding tax either directly or indirectly , you pay tax for every litre of fuel you use , you pay stamp duties , some pat personal income tax , every market , every seller pays one form or tax or the other to a level of govt , even your roadside Akara woman must remit monthly to the local govt and she passes it on to the customer again ..don't be decieved by our deceptive govt ooo

Do you have facts to back your claims or you just assumed?

NIGERIA GOVERNMENT IS LOOKING FOR REVOLUTION BY ALL MEANS........ BE PREPARED TO LOOSE TAX OFFICERS

The only thing this govt has achieved
is devising ways & means to keep
collecting from, & pauperising the citizens.

They haven't done anything apart from
complaining & blaming PDP.

We never knew it was possible for a govt
to be worse than that of GEJ & his forty thieves.

PMB, Osinbajo & their co-travellers will surely
be consigned to the dustbin of history as the
most yeye govt.....

Dude, you're obviously reta.rded lol.

this yeye govt sef, how do u want people to pay tax that will be used to fund frivolous govt expenditures? continue with ur oil money and leave us alone

tax don come, the tax does not recognize any party affiliations or ethnicity but for everybody. The political elites don't care about anybody just themselves and there household. Two years running nothing tangible to show for it , only from one distraction to another. In mj voice 'they don't really care about us'

Do we need facts to know that every single Item in Nigeria has VAT on it...It seems you live abroad from your tone because anybody that stays in Nigeria know about double taxation on goods by local govt , state and FG

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.

Although there have been modifications.

Terribly ill conceived.

When they should look for amnesty they are drumming the drums of warfare!

FG has now given the weapon to corrupt tax officials to hound people till they drop their pants.

Show me the tax chief that is not a billionaire, and show me how they made their billions.

Governance is now gone terribly wrong in our country. Terribly wrong, terribly insensitive and maybe even heartless.

Go to the malls and see how many sellers are packing up. Go to the open market and see people wailing!

The very big companies are culprits when it comes to taxes, but they certainly can settle. Who will dare go to the bank chief?

Now, the small players have been offered to the dogs to bark, bite and eat.

I hope that the acting President does not turn us into preys.

I really pray so.

That's not totally true. There are many Nigerians evading taxes inspite of government's effort. Using the word "No Nigerian " is understatement and a fallacy. Trace the history of taxation in Nigeria, you would find ought some resistance from some of Nigerians to tax

That's completely true..

Thank God the minister of finance is using N power to educate Nigerians on tax matters. Most Nigerians don't pay taxes. Their moral values are poor. Although the government share part of the blame but research works doesn't lie at all. I travel to different parts of Nigeria to study their attitudes and behavior and one of the thing observed is that many Nigerians have lost their values. An average Nigeria wants to enjoy benefits but don't want to pay for it. No wonder we keep seeing people be lynched and beaten on daily basis yet it doesn't serve as deterrent to others to learn. To even obey traffic light requires army men to be around that vicinity .
Yes the government isn't making effort but again who's the government if not you and I? .The leaders we have were once followers who blasted the government but when given opportunity to change the menace, the do worst.

Let Nigeria government refund my money for uninterrupted electricity I paid for, without seeing even two hours in a week.

Are we paying tax for generators, water, roads, healthcare, security and education we are providing for ourselves and loved ones from our personal incomes

We are tired of being stolen from by APC government.

Is APC trying to loot Nigerians to fund Buhari's coma in London

What exactly is Nigeria doing for the masses.... Upon the collection of taxes and the oil proceeds we are still battling for constant power supply, basic amenities and social health insurance.... Our political leaders are cursed they need to seek redemption from God.

After the fuel increment. You promised heaven and earth but till today nothing to show 4 it.

I should start paying personal income tax so that I can be participating in funding our president's medical bill abroad. Me i no get money to waste over the President medical funding, they should develop our country from the gains of our natural resources. Period! So that melaye and Co can be flaunting exotic, expensive cars on social media.. Nonsense! ordinary Evans, dey no fit jail, but dey get strength to jail tax defaulters for 5yrs.

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 ....

Gbam!

Has he fixed d economy?

The ones I personally have been paying, I am yet to see the results and you think I will use spoon to fetch water to the ocean?

Don't worry the government is working out modalities to make sure things work well. The system is just too corrupt and the blame strategy of apc isn't working at all. The high expectations from this government is diminishing on daily basis but we will get there someday perhaps you would have a story to tell

Me? Government? I laugh in Urhobo.
Let me tell you who government is:

1) Government is that old man whose aeroplane fee in London can build a standard hospital in Nigeria.
2) Shey you see those old, fat men wey dey always collect money for coming to sleep in the house and whose major occupation is to make laws that allow them marry 13 year olds, that is government.
3) You... Hmmm... I dey suspect you. I don't have time tonight I would have investigated you. You are government too.

Me? Me? Government ke? Lol... Good night bro.
