The past Chairman of the FIRS, Mr. Sunday Ogungbesan, had said the service was finding it difficult to track the financial activities of those who did not pay taxes, as most of the evaders were no longer active. Did they go to the moon.

PassingShot:The truth is these guys would have evidence of tax clearance to date! What they do is collude with officials in the agency, get authentic tax clearance, pay a fraction of the amount they are supposed to pay which is then shared among the Ogas at the top and their field agents. This I know for a fact. |

If a company is "inactive", it means they are no more in business or dead. How can they pay tax? You can hardly do any business as a company in Nigeria without 3 years tax clearance certificate among others. Hence, while government should try to maximise the tax returns from the "active" companies, they need to pay more attention to creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive in Nigeria, so that more tax can be generated. Brandishing unrealistic figures in the media is a journey to nowhere. 3 Likes |

kennyman2000:Contrary to what you think, TIN is free. I got for my company some months back when i needed to open a corporate bank account. Now what FIRS wants to do is to get the details of a company even before it is registered. It will not dicourage any small business owner. Most times people register companies with the CAC without any records with the FIRS because they don't go for their TIN. So instead of the FIRS having to get the list of registered companies from the CAC, this new policy will help them get their own records via the issuance of TIN prior to registration of the prospective business with the CAC. |

This Fowler of a guy, I trust he will do something different. Everybody is guilty of this non payment, guided by the stupid audit firms we have in Nigeria including the big ones. They are shameless to prepare 3 different sets of account and paste their useless stamp on the 3. ICAN indeed need to help now that the country is set to rebirth may God bless my country NIGERIA. |

Heromaniaa: I totally agree. Government should also reduce the company tax rate to no more than 19%. At such a rate, companies will not only be more willing to pay tax, but more importantly, encourage foreign investment 1 Like |

Dints to shore up Government revenue should be humane, surgical and result-oriented. There are buoyant yet excessively profiteering companies that deliberately evade taxes - This category of defaulters should be given a second benefit to voluntarily pay back arrears or be subjected to appropriate punitive sanctions. There are establishments that are seemly buoyant but struggling under adverse economic woes of the nation - This category of defaulters need government scrutiny and support to get back on track. America and UK decided to bail out their biggest Banks in the last global recession 08'/09' The results today show they did the right thing saving millions of jobs and by extension lives and sustaining happiness among their bedizens. There are SMEs and "portfolio companies" that are mainly substituent in existence. Owners of these category of business use their cars, house, portfolio, or laptop as their offices. We have artisans, struggling traders, fresh graduates and rural dwellers trying to eke out a living in this category. Are we just going to throw these people into financial confusion because they do not have enough money to do the expected thing? Are we going to be better off with more striving commoners thrown into abject hopelessness? Businesses need help as much as government need taxes from operating establishments. People-oriented countries have social security for the poor. They have moratorium, tax holidays or other incentives to ensure more businesses survive for economic well-being of their nation. A demotic government should not be seen to turn to the poor to get more money when the NASS for example with 469 Nigerians have an annual budget of N120/N150 Billion naira. To these days we hear and see public servants living lavishly with these taxes - how do you want the tax-payer to feel when their simple and striving lives are still coming under scathing threat by the government they so much look up to for survival. We did not ask for 'change' to worsen our condition while the rich keep the loot... 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hmmm All the taxes that run into Trillions of Naira paid by some sectors, how was the money spent or was it it shared rather into private accounts. Is good to pay tax. I pay mine, but what are they doing with tax payers money in Nigeria? Our government are not serious, they should be more serious with corruption fighting, creating jobs, insecurity, kidnapping, crimes generally, bad roads, schools etc. In Nigeria, a project of N10, will be done with N200 for instance, they will still do it half way and abandon it, they willl reapprove and sign another N200 for the project and still abandon it. Too bad. In the west, people are paying tax with happiness, though it is not easy, but they are seeing the results of their money in their community. No country's corruption free or has a perfect system, but corruption can be minimised. I have not seen any change so far oo, since may 29th. 2 Likes |
