The Nigerian government has stated that no one would be left out in the campaign to enlarge the tax revenue.

She said some beggars were earning millions and that “proceeds from begging are taxable. You are supposed to pay taxes even if your means of income is begging”.

Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun said this in Lagos at a lecture at PWC’s Business School, with the theme: ‘Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS) Interactive Session for Executives and Business Owners.’

She said to ascertain the income status of the companies/individuals and their lifestyle, investigators would rely on information derived from Bank Verification Number (BVN), records of property ownership, records of foreign exchange allocation, and records of company ownership from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), among others.

Adeosun said: “We are using some firms to trace assets internationally.The investigators’ findings will enable us to compare the income and how much tax the company/person is really paying, and that gives us lots of information.

“But we encourage people to come up and pay their taxes willingly. You can register a high-end car. It tells me something about your income.

“So, we look at your tax returns. If you registered Mercedes E-Class and you are paying N100,000 tax, then something is wrong. Those are red flags. We now have the capacity to assess people accurately.

“We are trying to build an economy where we have oil and other things. It is going to be oil plus and wider economy”.

Basket-mouth, Aki and PawPaw, Alibaba,Seyi Law, Klint d Drunk and their other friends suppose dey this cabinet so that we laugh more everyday. We need am
Where dem find these kain yeye leaders from?

Nigeria is the only country in the world where the masses get sense pass the leaders. Shouldn't it be the other way around? E dey bahave like say the supposed leaders brain dey upside-down sometimes

Abeg which mumu for Aso rock abi na Senate come up with yeye idea abeg?

You know how many beggars dey Nigeria now? Roughly 37% direct beggars, 61% indirect beggars and 2% semi-beggars, total=100%. About 68.9% of the entire Nigerian population is either a direct or indirect beggar (40.8% direct beggars we see everyday on the streets doing bambiala on the street or those in various camps, remaining 28.1% are the indirect beggars - coded-begging na their own approach ). Another 1.7% na semi-beggar - their brand of begging is in suit and tie type style of begging. Other levels of beggars can buy suit and tie too to join that level of begging, even the cripples,deaf and dumb, blind ones, and the ones wey get leprosy - corporate style of begging na him make sense pass for Nigeria today. Beggars sef dey adapt to the current trends.
Common man know how to analyze and classify all types of beggars, unfortunately the lawmakers no dey shine their eye and observe.

Even the police, custom, immigration etc are glorified beggars in uniform. Some graduates with no job are now under one of the three categories of beggars. Many of our beautiful ladies that chose to become prostitutes are indirect beggars. Even bankers go beg - applying the indirect-beggar methodology for you to open an account with their bank so they can keep their jobs, similar to same way prostitutes open their legs to make something from you. So, what's a proper definition of a beggar now?
Is there a database for all of them? How will their income be tracked and tax calculated?

Gentle warning to FG, If all of these beggars start riot, all beggars departments at once, same day same time, Aso rock and Senate building no go contain them if all of them follow waka come Abuja at once o .

Una never see where both cripple beggar, blind beggar, deaf and dumb beggar and their other friend wey get leprosy follow join, all both four of them dey chew ministers and senators brains ba? Town dey hot o. Make una just compose and behave. Specially prepared eggs don dey turn bulletproof car windows to common nylon now o, correct stone fit enter una bulletproof car easy - Made in Nigeria technology -jazz. Make una just compose. If una need borrow una children brain to think, it's allowed.

Them no touch una hustle, una wan quench their own hustle. Na so? Some beggars sharp pass many ministers and senators for Nigeria o. Touch not their annointment. Dem no bother una looting, make una no bother their hustle too o. Just an advice.

Make una just leave them for their corner jeje if you can't help them. Touch them not, na una create them.

Biggest joke I have ever seen
Who does begging as a means of income anyway
They are still other ways to generate money, not with beggars.......


How did we eventually get to this level ..

This woman is a JOKER

Pls start here in ph o.

I like this.

The change is real

lol - olosho nko?



Chai, Nigeria Ntorr

FG got no chill! Please, when are you going​ to extend your reach to religious houses and their business es?

The people that were promised N5k monthly are now being tax tasked..

Welcome to change

Sarrki did you hear that? So even if you are unemployed or under-employed, you must pay your tax....here is the question....what are the taxes used for? No light, No road, No job, No food, No nothing...why are we supposed to pay tax?

Oh I forgot, so we can pay for the parking of BUHARI's plane?

Hahaha haha Hahaha haha. Just like making begging look legit. Nothing is wrong with Nigeria. It's just her leaders.

Check my signature for your quality customised Atm card flash drive

So if I beg my brother for money now, you will block me on the road to collect tax? Which kind people be this? I am not understanding

When will politicians and ministers start paying taxes on everything they own?

Oh Nigeria. Who did this to you?
It's so pathetic.

Nigeria leaders are not humans

Religious institutions (Churches,mosques,shrines,temples) should be included

Such a shameless decision. Instead of the government to find way to get the beggers of the streets they want to be collecting tax from them

Very soon they will start taxing those that live at IDP camps. Useless Government with an even more useless leader.

Why complaining are you a begger ??

I don't understand why this government is embarking on a drastic fiscal measure at this hardship period, rather than lowering taxes and boost the purchasing power of households.

Sorry to say this is like kemi is insane. People that are begging to eat will pay tax.

Well it's ok. 2019 when they hear CHANGE they will fight it with their last drop of blood.

I believe she was speaking figuratively when she talked about beggars. Anyone familiar with our tax codes knows that for you to be taxed you need to fall into a certain income bracket.

is very ok....this will make them to stop bagging



ride on FG
