People are not willing to pay tax because they provide Virtually everything for themselves. Water , power shelter. Name it.

And the op said the visionless fg is diversify...diversifying by looking for tax payers or for firms who didnt pay tax! What happened to diversifying into productive areas and sector that will gainfully involve nigerians? This govt is self serving and the most clueless on earth!

Spot on ...this silly govt is ready to milk it's citizens just so they can survive . So what happens when a lot of companies declare red as is already the case and can't pay thier tax . We need to get productive because over taxing your already impoverished country is not diversification in any way

In sane countries,citizens pay their taxes without having double thoughts of how the money generated from taxes would be used,but here in Nigeria the case is different because our wayward leaders will use our hard earned money to enrich themselves and cronies thereby making big fools out of tax payers.
Give me a good reason why I should pay my tax when I don't have access to good roads,electricity,healthcare,security etc.Taxation in Nigeria remains a scam because the common man doesn't benefit from it.

This is the way to go. Especially to those Indian and Lebanese companies. They made billions in Nigeria and they pay little or nothing as tax.

This guys should just make this tax of a time factory reset.

That's to say, everyone will start paying for tax started from January.

This is because sellers do not include the 5% VAT on their commodities, asking them to come and pay for money they don't have is very silly.

Nigerians are not even suppose to pay tax, because it won't benefit the masses.

I wonder Ooo.

Person wey never chop, dey pay tax?

Hunger is in the town and they wanna go after those who are struggling to survive then bill them.

This is craziest move ever.

The best thing to do is to waive it all and start a fresh.

It is in PEJ's account

to pay your tax is not by force,but by time u get persecuted...don't come here and accuse the govt of Tyranny.

Even ancient civilizations are recorded to have paid tax. Yet Nigerians...

I'm open to tax BUT if the system is still going to be like this, well no. I can not be happy especially funding the bureaucrats and their current system with my taxpayers money.

I WANT ACCOUNTABILITY!

Everyone will then shut down and let them rule themselves.

The best thing to do for Nigeria tax system is to waive it all and start a fresh, then do massive campaign on tax.

Don't tell me that someone who is struggling to feed the family will carry money give you for tax. Say weti happen.

Nigeria is so corrupt that the money they will generate from the tax will be Looted hence this old men ruling us are still there.

hunt down, crack down, tighten, melt down, cut down, shut down.... that's all we've been hearing from this government. People are crying, companies are barely surving and rather than revive them, you are looking for more to cut out. What kind of wickedness is that?

Who has seen any account of spending of these recovered funds so far? Continue, you will soon beg.

Kudos bro.

You nailed it. Anyone in this thread shouting pay tax and all this things are the problem of this nation. They are the ones that will collect the money at the end of the day.

In developed world, when you pay for something you pay tax, how I ask you how many times have you purchased something and paid tax?

I buy from Amazon and paid tax, the tax is added on top of the total amount I paid.

it was just a matter of time before we got to this. the question is who acts first. the govt who should show effectiveness, prudence and accountability in managing taxes or the citizens should pay first to make funds available to govt.

another point when people say 'our money' i keep telling them it is not your money else you would know whom your local government chairmen and councellors are. maybe this tax implication would liven people up to oversee voted managers of the economy.

the govt has not been performing because the people do not expect and the people do not expect because they have no invested interests (taxes). now it is easy to see the pains of niger deltans who are the land owners for the money nigeria spent.

They should create an avenue through which people can report firm and individuals who don't pay taxes.

Some companies deduct taxes from the workers but fail to remitt same to government coffers.

In Nigeria it's something else.
