Personal Income Tax or PIT means Tax levied on some specified Income earned by you, nothing more nothing less. Tax (PIT) on you Vehicle?? is this a joke? Please play along, get policemen in plain clothes to respond to this man, we need to get rid of dumb people like this. Please respond to him!!!!

Thanks y'all but i guess there's no need to make calls. I just found out its been discussed here before:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-341861.0.html

Its not really a 'Tax' on te Car per say but a Personal Income Tax Assessment scheme. . . (as they say)

hi guys, i would like to know if there was any findings made on these ppl that sent d PIT mail. I just a replica of the mail posted earlier, the only difference between my letter and this one is just the date, name of recipient (i.e mysef)and d details of my vehicle if am not mistaken, The funny aspect of this issue is that this my vehicle HONDA ACCORD 1996 model was actually stolen from where it was parked in Ibadan ( as claimed by my friends that were with the vehicle on the day it was stolen i.e 10th march, 2012), but to my surprise, I got dis funny mail from this so called informal sector professionals in October 2012, notifying me of the worth of the vehicle and the due tax I am to pay on the vehicle that has been stolen and no where to be found.
I was actually shocked with the letters coming in on monthly, becos I hav been skeptical and wouldnt want to go to the police so as not to fall a bigger prey, Though I reported the case of the stolen Vehicle to Nigeria Police when the ugly event occurred and I have document given to me by the police still in my possession, I really want to know if these informal people are real. I am suspecting that the guys in possession of the stolen vehicle are only trying to get back at me via the mails, so out of curiosity i had to google the name of the organsation on the net but no useful info couldnt be obtained except this link and am so glad there's an existing link for me to get ppl's advise and views. I would appreciate any useful response please may be I can recover the stolen vehicle through your help.
thanks
