Redman44: I get your point Bro. Surely the same should also apply to our political office holders since they expect low income earners and self employed people who receive no form of government support to also pay taxes. Why should low income earners like tailors, barbers, hair salons, kabu kabu drivers, brick layers etc. pay income tax when senators, governors, ministers, etc do not pay a dime in taxes? They even have significant allowances for crazy things! Till today, no one knows how much a senator earns monthly. For a developing nation like we are, can you compare a market trader who pays rent from her daily sales with someone in Abuja who receives wardrobe allowances? These low income earners and self employed people possibly create more jobs than our politicians have ever done. Reflect on this Bro. 1 Like 1 Share |

softset: Very correct, that money would barely see you through a full month but the OP looks to me like a student so he may hang in there with it. For the reality of Canada, you need more than that to survive here but for my Naija people, it is quite a sum and i don't really blame anyone. |

Angelfrost:I am not looking for excuse for anyone. We survived all these years on oil money and when someone steals it we don't feel the pain that much like we will if the steal our sweat (tax). Our leaders can only be as accountable as we force them to be. After looting us dry we still show them love because of ethnic bias. Is it not Nigerians on nairaland that I see saying Abba Kyari was a good man? The leaders will act like their followers encourage them to. |

ADAMUdaCOWBOY: ur moniker is quite apt. the major reason people shy away from tax is the fact that u pay or u don't pay, fg does absolutely nothing! They are unaccountable, corrupt, highhanded, nepotistic....the only way someone will be happy paying tax continously is if he/she sees the impact of it, otherwise next time, he'll find a way to dodge. . . n 100k is nt a small money mr. Man, if not for d deductions, who knows, i might have gotten a car by now...mtcheww |

Someone raised a point as a taxpayer. Those on the tax database and current with payment should be given some palliatives. This will encourage others to start paying tax in the future. The problem is that government does not want people to pay personal tax. They fear it will trigger mass demand for accountability, which will put an end to their profligacy. On the other hand, taxation lowers the cost of living as it increases the revenue base of government to provide infrastructures and services at a discount. The fear of embezzlement of taxpayers money is there but if more people pay they can be challenged. Right now they are getting away with murder because only 10 million people are on the national tax database. Out of which 4.6 million are in Lagos State. Even in Lagos State, only 400,000 paid their tax in 2019 out of the 4.6 million. 1 Like |

No you have not updated yourself, India has opened its vault, Law in place that everyone will be paid like before, Till last week 23 Billion USD had been transferred to Women accounts, Even Largest Petrochemical Refiner Reliance is giving 25% more salary. Yesterday Free Rice, Wheat, Sugar etc was announced for 95% of population. Absolutely Free healthcare and this was from Federal Government now every state is providing something. Just Today another state Delhi has announced of rent waiver for Students and Factory workers (Apartment,house owners will be reimbursed by state government) You can not compare how efficiently they have manged, BTW Food Corporation of India has announce 3 years worth of grain stocks for whole nation. Any African Politicians can not even do 5% of what India`s Government is doing for their citizen. Either they have Good citizen or Good politicians i dont know but this continent is suffering from greed,corruption and blaming others for our own mistakes. Please dont compare with India, China, Israel, Canada etc etc, its already a torture for us. Redman44: |

kikero: No basis of comparison really. Let's even forget the amount (N626K) because Canada and Nigeria don't have identical economies. The main issue is that we do not have any form of structure in Nigeria. There is no social register to track citizens welfare and income status either through taxes or identity management(please don't mention NIMC cos it's not functioning yet). Whatever it is they are using as social register now is flawed and will never work. @OP, Canada has a population of 37million according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada |
