A few weeks ago I heard of the Lagos state govt employees on tax revenew drive from the traders in some of the local markets in Lagos.
The complain from most of the traders was that, their business is a small one (not the type you would even calssify SME). These were mostly the food sellers et al. Also that a flat fee of N2,500 was collected from them in that particular market.

It is not wrong for the traders to pay their tax but they had not been educated enough because some of them were heard to be complaining that "they don't work in offices so why should they pay tax". Some said, "na only vegetable i dey sell o o o, and them don collect N2,500, how much be my gain for one week?"

I feel the tax office should have started with public education on tax before going to those with little or no education of tax.

I may be wrong but I would like all NL to give their opinion on this tax drive and I hope the suggesstions here get to the Lagos state govt official for a more decent and successful tax drive in future.

they must protest or start a riot.
