I renewed mine in January and didn't have anything like that. By the way I can chose to renew my paper elsewhere. It is not mandatory I do it in Lagos. Whenever I go to Ibadan or Abeokuta, I just cease the opportunity to do it. Lagos and extortion are like 5 and 6.

It is a federal law - some other states are already collecting it
Others may start soon given the need to increase IGR problem

The only way to avoid is register your car outside Nigeria. hahahaha

Stop swimming in the pool of ignorance: I paid TV and radio tax as far back as year 2000 when I have not even stepped my toes in Lagos.

It is constitutional: the only issue i have with them is that LG is supposed to be in charge of the collection and not SG.

Because you have been paying it ignorantly as far back as 2000 doesn't mean it was right. This is a different era we are and some wrongs which were done as a result of our past leaders greed need to be corrected. Their wasn't anything like 13% derivation for oil producing areas when oil was found & explored in Nigeria. The federal government was all alone receiving all receivables from oil proceeds & exploration until recent times when the 13% derivation was agreed on. Moreover, it could have been constitutional written that radio & tv taxes are to be paid but mind you our constitution is not rigid as it could be ammended when the need arises.

If you cannot generate revenue from providing paid services, tax the hell out of your citiziens grin grin grin Ambode taking cue from RCCG


I can't agree with you more. Rather than source service provision schemes that would help generate income for the state and provide jobs, they recourse to just milking the citizenry with taxes.

I doubt if this will work, its illegal, i am waiting for the lawyers in the house to take the case to court, let the case be pending in court till jesus comes grin

It is not illegal o, it is a decree signed in 1998 under the Tax and Levies decree No 21 of 1998, under part III, section 15. Vehicle radio license fees (to be imposed by the Local Government of the State in which the car is registered)

Modified: Those of you quoting me, continue, its not about the money, its about the sensible thinking. The government has already collected VAT for all this thing in the custom fees, registration and licensing now tell me what sensible thing is there in collecting tax for having a radio in a car? I still dont get, if the governement wanted to tax those with speaker advertising their wares, am ok with that but taxing me to use radio my car came with defiles all logic undecided

Nigerians wake up, let us support the Government for logical things and not backward thinking, the government refused to provide portable drinking water but it was quick to attach a fee (permit) to borehole the Nigerian government from federal to your ward representative are only fighting for their pocket rubbish

TV/RADIO license tax is actually collected in countries where the government owns and funds advert-free broadcasting like the BBC in the UK and SABC in South Africa. There is no broadcasting house in this country doing advert-free broadcasting- not even NTA or Radio Nigeria, hence the tax is baseless and illegal in this clime.

On the issue of derivation, Oil producing areas were collecting upwards of 60-something percent in the 50's/60's and that percentage has reduced with subsequent regimes and administrations driven by the greed from the north and is unfortunately at 13% as at today. If you dig deeper, with a better understanding of nigeria's history, then you will begin to understand why the niger-deltans keep giving the government sleepless nights. It is sad because a whole lot of nigerians don't even know what has been going on. Now you have a fair idea why they are killing history in the schools curriculum!

Stupid law
Re: Lagos State Govt To Charge Extra Money On Cars Owners by 9jabull: 4:09pm On Mar 16, 2017
The way & manner present Lagos state government has plans to generate revenue is alarming.
A bill is on now in Lagos house of Assembly that permit & tax should be collected before you drill a borehole in your compound and selling water in tankers.
But they failed to provide basic amenities of which one of them is providing pipe borne water, so why should they collect money from you for failing to do what you did.
And now car radio, it will make new buyers of cars to shift to other states for car registration.

Trust me, dead on arrival. Some lawyers will take it up and they will win clearly just like the case of environmental sanitation.
for where? What of lasrii registration of 1k why didn't the lawyers fight it.
Or are you saying after collecting class G driver's license I will still pay one thousand naira? Now imagine I go to all states.

This is pure nonsense. Having a radio in a car is now considered a luxury? when radio is a default part of every vehicle from the factory. Why can't Ambode also tax people on brake pedals and steering wheel?
