If you don't mind how did you finally resolve the tax issue. This is one issue everyone building in Lagos would have to face especially if you need to obtain planning approval.

somehow:

Would have been out since September last year but the tax Lasg leveled on me eh..

Dear Engineers

Please I need a quick estimate to reroof the temporary structure with the arrow pointing to it.

Also I need to raise the floor level by 1 or 2 coach.

Unfortunately I was not with a paper and pen to take dimensions, so I drew the layout on the ground and snapped same as a guide.

Location: Elegushi, Lekki

What do you think a 450k can buy for you ??

Probably an iPhone 11 or a Bone Straight Wig or PS5 or Gucci Bag or Champagne VSOP

All are good but with 450k , you can be a plot owner at an Estate in Abuja.

Ibeju Lekki , Maitama, Asokoro , Wuse are locations that are all bush some 30 or 35 years ago.

Why not invest your 450k in real estate that will give you a better Return On Investment in some months or years to come.

Real Estate are not meant for the RICH alone but can be affordable for any one that has forecast and future foresight.

Let me be your sure plug on this and you won’t regret making such an investment.

Site inspection to the estate are on Fridays & Saturdays weekly

Documents are available for Verification for your Search.

If you're a salary earner, try getting your tax clearance certificate for submission. If not enough, they will get intouch with you.

If you're a business owner and have been paying your taxes, get your tax cert submitted to them too as stated above.

If you have never paid tax before, just wait for them to send you a letter or employ a tax expert to help you handle that aspect.

Is 10m enough to build a modern styled 4 bedroom bungalow. With pop,tiles and other basic fittings?

I think it should especially if you have a building experience.
My next project is a 4bd bung on a half square plot and I am looking at 9-10m.

The first line, why would a salary earner’s tax not be enough? It’s PAYE and should be accurate based on earnings

Building tax is calculated based on the value of what you're building and also the location.

Imagine an ₦100k salary earner that has worked for about 5 years building a house in Lekki phase 1 worth ₦150m, without you thinking so deep, do you think his or her tax for that 5 years should cover for such build?

Exactly what happened to me recently ooo. I paid one useless welder to buy me a 12mm rod for 5feet foundation pillars, believe me he actually bought a rod with 12mm inscription on it but after casting of the pillars am not pleased with the look of the iron Rod nd I went to that site with a caliper nd discovered that that iron is 10mm nd 12mm is written on it. Thanks to God I didn't give him the whole iron to buy for the whole beam and the long pillars. I later found out that is how they make their abnormal profits. Real12mm is actually available, when they get to the store they demands for that to make more money. Hence forth till eternity I will buy all my iron rod myself nd always check them with a caliper b4 payment

There is no regulatory body in this country. Reason why we are having all these.

Imported cables written 25mm if you measure it with caliper together with calculation involve , what you will get is 15.6mm .. Always tell my client that cables manufactured in Nigeria is always the best

I still am not comfortable with this though. Taxes should not be at the whims of those guys especially in the case of PAYE. I stand to be corrected but I don’t think there’s any law backing up such. If it is self-assessed tax for say a business owner then fine but an employee in a corporate organization should not be made to pay more tax because he’s building a house.

You are supposed to show evidence of tax payment on every penny you earn, or inherited. That is why you must pay tax on the difference between your reported and verifiable income and the total cost of building the house.

But I see your point. If you have a projection to build the house in stages, that is while you earn, it then seems that you would be taxed double. This is because they have already collected that tax based on previous assessment. Then your employer would still deduct the PAYE.

Don't know if it's just in Lagos, all I know is that you can't get building approval without paying tax. They issue receipts with specific codes for such taxes. (Most banks in Lagos have the tax teller).

I being a business owner trading intangible products (services) for money, it becomes difficult for the Govt to task such.

So I most times use my discretion to pay, yet I was told what I paid for 3 years wasn't enough just because the project is on the island. (The tax boss in one of their mainland offices said so).
