Hummm!

This is double taxation ab-initio; a clear violation of the spirit of taxation and other international treaties!!

30% on the company's profit;
5% on the Value added on Inputs;
ITF charge on payroll;
NSITF charge on Information Technology;
Extra electricity tariff on industrial consumers;
Environmental charge on using big power generator;
Land Use charge on offices and mast sites;
Waste disposal charge;
Cabling permit royalties;
Mast hoisting charge (outsourced mostly)!!! Plus their License fees

All these on their normal trading activities (Call, Data, Text and others)

I support any anti-repatriation law, not double taxation. The Nigerian Tax Law is rich already, just fine tune it!!!!

(may be e need to vary our tax rate to contain coy with superprofit not the back door arrangements)

Hopefully the National Assembly will not pass this into law.

This is one of my issue with with this government. Before presenting this kind of suffering impacting bill there should be a National discourse. The Minister should be on every major news outlet informing us on the merit of the Bill and why every Nigerians should queue up behind it.

Soon they will propose taxes for menstrual flow!

For these policies are not coming at the right time but this particular one is not as bad as how we are proclaiming it. The government has not failed us yet. We are not hearing about how billions of dollars go into personal account of a fewer men. So have a piece of hope that this government will put these monies into a use that the common man will benefit from. If not, then we are not only doomed but damaged the hope of our posterity.

That's what the legislators are there for. The executive presents a bill, the legislators(your representative) put forward argument for or against it and depending on your response they pass/edit or reject it- Shikena

Marketing Communication experts have condemned the proposed communications tax bill before the Eight National Assembly, describing the bill as evidence that the Federal Government “isn’t sensitive to the plight of the people”.

If the proposed communications tax bill is passed to law, telecoms subscribers in Nigeria may be facing tougher times in the months ahead. The bill, entitled ‘Communication Service Tax Bill (“CST” or the “Bill”) 2015’, seeks to enforce, charge and collect communication service tax (CST) on all electronic communication services at nine per cent which will be borne by subscribers.

Subscribers’ data released monthly by the telecoms industry regulator, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the current industry’s Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) provided by the operators, indicated that the Federal Government may be reaping over N20 billion monthly from Nigerian subscribers if the bill is enacted into law.

The categories of communication services liable to the tax include voice calls, SMS, MMS, Data and Pay TV. For instance, Section 2 of the bill listed the chargeable services to include voice calls, SMS, MMS, pay per view TV stations, data usage from telecommunication services providers and internet service providers.

While the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) will be responsible for the collection of the tax and its payment together with any interest and penalty into the Federation Account, the Federal Government will be responsible for the administration and management of the funds.

The bill provides that all service providers are to file tax returns and pay the tax due not later than the last working day of the month immediately after the month to which the payment relates. Failure to comply with this provision will attract stiff financial penalties on erring entities.

The bill, proposed by the government last month and currently being reviewed by the National Assembly, would see consumers of data, voice, SMS, MMS and pay-TV services hit with a nine per cent tax levied on service fees.

Members of the National assembly will also pay so if they like it let them pass the law that will reap them off.
