Nemesis909:


Shut up.

Honestly you speak like a dunce.

No offence.

OlujobaSamuel:
But we are paying this already, a phone of ₦10000 at slot store is same online, isn't this double taxation?

frenzyduchess:
its not an online outlet that sell only paint. Infact its very popular lol. This is Sam with most of their over priced products.

FarahAideed:


If I was a dunce I would be supporting Buhari

lakesider:

Nemesis909:


No infrastructural growth would be obtained without a reciprocal growth in taxation.

All the bodies many of you bandy to buttress your point s suggest an increase in tax generation - World Bank, IMF, all suggest we do.

As soon as we do, you guys go into complain mode.

Nemesis909:


I insist they would soon stop selling paint.

Sooner or later a site would cater solely for paint and surely that would run them out of that trade.

In any case, nobody would be patronizing a website with such a price difference against what is found in the open market.

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.

Lol, nigerians want testimony without test.

They want good tidings but don't wanna bring anything to d table.

Rip to konga and jumia

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.

Angelfrost:


Sigh... First off, I take issues with being lumped into the bandwagon scornfully termed "many of you''...

I didn't directly nor indirectly castigate the introduction of taxes and tariffs especially on the well used online markets. I merely pointed out an obvious difference between our nation and others regarding the utilization of generated tax revenues.

I made a very distinct and unassailable point, except you wish to fallaciously submit that taxes and tariffs have not been generated since Buhari came into office...

In previous posts, I have clearly queried the utilization of the extremely high taxes (Trillions if you may) generated in Lagos alone in a single calendar year. So, it's quite untruthful to hold the position that Nigerians are not taxed daily to monthly.

Thank you.

rafhell:
When will they start taxing cows.
Oloriburuku government. Anything to further impoverish the south

frenzyduchess:
Its not about paint, its about how much Nigerians are being cheated by this online stores already because they said we are "paying for it to be delivered to us" now govt wants to add their own. Its online stores that will suffer.i would rather go to the market.

can you please explain to us how you are already paying taxes on a #10000 phone? and what percentage is the tax?

We all pay vat when we buy vatable goods by cash. So, what’s wrong with paying vat when we buy vatable goods online? If what you are buying is not excluded by the VAT act, you must pay vat irrespective of whether you’re buying online or paying cash directly.

In addition, FG needs to start imposing income tax on foreign social media platforms like Google, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. All revenues generated by these platforms from Nigeria should be fully subjected to Nigeria taxes.

I wouldn't be surprised if this includes card payments on the government Remita platform. Imagine paying tax to the government because you want to "pay" them.

The policy is outright theft and nothing but gangster or omonile tax the Yoruba people have been metting out at people for years and now they want to take this to Federal level , this is how they want to tax MTN for the fine it paid to the govt ...Does Tunde Fowler realise that money in my card used to pay for online goods and service is my salary that has already been over taxed before i put it in my bank account where stamp duty is also taxed and my ATM card is already taxed . This is nothing but Tinubu style theft which Nigerians must reject ..You cannot tax me for spending money you already taxed .

OBAGADAFFI:
Taxing Nigerians to oblivion.

Yet nothing to show for it.

All e-commerce/online business are currently paying VAT, which is transferred to the consumers, so what other VAT are they talking about.

Yes the Government can definitely tax your money multiple times. even though Americans enjoyed some of the lowest taxes among the western countries, they still have to pay income taxes on their salaries, then yearly property taxes on (houses and cars) if they have one, then sales taxes on every single purchase made with their own money. you may call it multiple taxation but every modern day government do it to fund development. American government main source or only source of revenue is through taxation and definitely not from oil like in Nigeria even though America produces more oil than Nigeria
