The Nigerian government has stated that no one would be left out in the campaign to enlarge the tax revenue.

She said some beggars were earning millions and that “proceeds from begging are taxable. You are supposed to pay taxes even if your means of income is begging”.

Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun said this in Lagos at a lecture at PWC’s Business School, with the theme: ‘Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS) Interactive Session for Executives and Business Owners.’

She said to ascertain the income status of the companies/individuals and their lifestyle, investigators would rely on information derived from Bank Verification Number (BVN), records of property ownership, records of foreign exchange allocation, and records of company ownership from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), among others.

Adeosun said: “We are using some firms to trace assets internationally.The investigators’ findings will enable us to compare the income and how much tax the company/person is really paying, and that gives us lots of information.

“But we encourage people to come up and pay their taxes willingly. You can register a high-end car. It tells me something about your income.

“So, we look at your tax returns. If you registered Mercedes E-Class and you are paying N100,000 tax, then something is wrong. Those are red flags. We now have the capacity to assess people accurately.

“We are trying to build an economy where we have oil and other things. It is going to be oil plus and wider economy”.

Lol funny.

So,very soon we will have " Begging Taxes" ? so if a neigbour comes asking for their usual " Abeg give me salt" we Will tell them to go pay their taxes first lol.

I will advice the Government to tax the Churches and Mosques. The tax exempt status the churches have,is making their G.O in Nigeria live larger than anything.

Imagine Pastors with Private jets like the Gun Runner Oritsejafor,Oyedepo and Adeboye not paying taxes.

Meanwhile, NYSC members are taxed by the Government,and a certain % removed from their alawi and even the little change left for them,some of them still give it again to the Churches who never get taxed.

I say tax all churches and mosques.

Very obvious this government no get brain......Clueless government

which beggers are they talking about is it coporate or normal beggers ?

afonja e-warriors will defend this.... watch out

Churches are meant to pay taxes too.

Unity beggars una don hear am. We can't allow you people to be begging for free all the time.

Churches and mosques, in fact, all religious centers too should not be excluded.

It has happened. If you'll tax beggars, then you can surreptitiously fleece the populace.
The way its going even the dead may start paying tenement rate for burial space soon.

Interesting development from APC led government.

Same way wheelbarrow pushers and hawkers are made to pay various taxes in Lagos.

How much tax will you charge our looted fund with politicians?


Stamp duty tax - no account from APC

50 Naira deduction from all bank transactions- no account from APC

Nigeria, are you bewitched?
