You don't even know what VAT is so shut up . Go and get some education first before talking .. There is no single product in Nigeria that doesn't already have VAT built into it's pricing .. Go and do Business and learn how VAT works in Nigeria and stop disgracing yourself here

Shut up.

You are truly unlearned and honestly, I'm this close to calling you a dummy.

You can be making all these arguments at your shepe joint but online you would be exposed for trying to act daft.

20% VAT paid in the UK and you can make any argument you want but 5% VAT in Nigeria isn't too much.

I disagree. Why tax people you have been taxing before? Let Fulani's that are in the informal sector begin to pay tax and watch money flow.

People want development and keep making noise about how foriegn countries here but are not ready for what the foriegn countries do. Here in the US they task everything u buy, cash, online, debit machines anything. This is just an example of me trying to buy a tv worth over $1000. The tax is about $68 added to the original price of the tv which is 6% of the original cost.


America do tax return Do Nigeria do ? Even in Dubai when leaving the country, once you hold all your receipts they give you the tax, so Bleep you, you daft like buhari

I should have looked at ur moniker b4 quoting u. Everlasting wailer obsessed with Tinubu success, never making sensible or meaningful contribution except extremely childish rhetoric. Even if u buy a thing worth just $3 here in the US, expect to pay 6% extra as tax. You want development but u are not ready for modalities that will bring development. Tmr u compare Nigeria to the US.
I made over $5k last month with over time, over $1k was taken out as Tax, that does not mean if i purchase anything online or in the stores i wont be tax, i will still be taxed. Attached is a pic of me trying to buy a tv from Amazon. See how tax is being added

Tax return for what u bought online? If you ate taxed the way Americans are taxed....u will be crying like u doing now. Maybe if u understand the tax returns, u wont be blabbing here. You know people still owe IRS after the so called tax returns or u think its everyone that gets returns?

Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Babatunde Fowler, said the government might appoint banks as agents to deduct five per cent VAT on all local online purchases with a bank card.


There's always a work around...online stores should just include BTC as a means of payment. We can then make national bank transfers to BTC sellers on localbitcoin, who in turn will send to our wallet address. tongue

Sir, how can it be monitored? Would the foreign firms declare their income to the FG or to who? I am skeptical of how FG can accurately tax them. These foreign companies are making a lot of money here.

There is a way the EU countries are taxing the income of these big social media platforms. All we need to do is copy from them and then apply to our country.
