oga if u don't use the bank then leave this matter for those who use it. Do u kw how many people who make use of the bank everyday?? Then a direct taxation on thier pockets??

The worse part is u won't see what it will be used for. u travel and endanger ur life everyday cos of those dead roads, light is since dead and gone yet they increased its rate, people have been sacked from jobs and are struggling to eat 3 square meal. yet they still wanna tax them to their last kobo?? how wicked??

In the UK where they complain about high taxation? atleast u will see ur money working. An easy life for both the rich and poor.

They are just looking for means to loot since crude won't give em the required cash they need to loot. smh

EgheKenny:
My friend before you start blabbing, you conveniently forgot to tell us you did not construct a borehole in your house, you also conveniently forgot to tell us how much the minimum wage is, and all the other freebies that come along with your telephone line.

ibietela2:
No problem, bring it ON if true. so far as beremx Omenka Passingshot egift will survive this bill i will survive too.

asuustrike2009:


Have you heard of incidence of tax? Do you know that some of these taxable elements are service of neccessity? Do you remember when obj increased VAT that MTN increased their rates immediately

mfm04622:

How many times do you get deposits in a month? That is others pay into your account. How much is fifty Naira for God's sake! You all want Nigeria to develop without paying a kobo towards the development!

sweetgala:

Someone complained of being charged for bank transactions 50 naira, and I'm amazed because every time I use an ATM machine I get charged about 10 cents and I have a bank levy of 23 euro or so yearly. If I own a cheque book that's another matter.

If I use my bank card abroad on certain ATM machines or POS it's a 2-4 euro charge

Papasmal:

Tinyemeka:


Are you talking about bank-imposed or Government imposed surcharges?

nduchucks:
I personally do not see much wrong with this tax proposal.

The services we need from the government have above average costs per GDP than most other countries with similar population. We can no longer rely on oil revenues which breed laziness and monumental theft by the usual suspects.

We need to be willing to pay the price for the services and infrastructure we desperately need. A fraction of what you people pay for megabytes used to get on the internet, for primarily useless activities and trolling is a small price to pay.

Abi how do you people expect the government to replenish funds used to support programs such as the N500million grant for 1000 young professionals? Awoof don retire o; its a new day.

mikolo80:
and you all think these things fall from heaven. you pay for what you get. and no, oil money will not pay for these things. but make we see as anybody go vote based on tribe and sentiment when they've got skin in the game

It's MTN right if the regulator gives them a permission to increase tarrifs and your right to cease a h contracts if there is a breach or stop to use said service.

Freedom to trade stimulates I can fix a price I want for my goods and you can decide to buy it or decline.

Government have a right to change VAT rates if they wish, we have a right to punish or reward them at the polls for doing so

For those who still doubt the veracity of the claims for 9% tax I can confirm to have reviewed the exposure draft and I tell you there some aspects even worse than the proposed 9% tax. Also, I assume we all know that all those services already incur 5% Vat. So do the maths

saintgwizard:
Another tax?

We understand that the government is gasping for breath, but must it take away the breath of the masses to survive? Can't they look for ways to deal with the root causes instead of always attacking the symptoms.

This government self

Jokers! Completely clueless sadists! Lowlife, debased pond scum! Dead n soulless reptiles! Godforsaken vagabonds! That is what Sai buhari chanters voted into power.

Soon they will propose taxes for menstrual flow!

Government has right to increase vat but who bears the burden? Do you think these GSM operators wouldn't pass the burden to their customers,? What's the incidence of tax should all the operators pass should burden or share it? All these are considered before the government takes decisions. The only alternative which would have being Nitel since it's government isn't functioning. Would you agree to pay airtime voucher @ N120 instead of the normal N100.How many Nigerians are ready to pay

superstar1:


How is payment of VAT or Payee or land use charges double taxation? They all served different purposes. Our VAT is one of the lowest in the world. Payee is being paid all over world.land use charge is being paid all over the world under different nomenclatures.

I will rather pay more tax, which will reduce my disposable income if i am assured of good roads, electricity, good hospitals, potable water, security and better education.

The cost of providing all that on my own out weighs the tax i should have paid in multiple folds.

luvmijeje:


I agreed. The government should focused on taxing those that are not being taxed.

Nigerians are already paying highly for recharging their lines and buying of data.

If I should own one of the telecommunications company, i'd fire all my staff and move to another country.

Saintp:


You seem not to understand the situation. Nigerians having paying taxes before now but what have they gained from it? For example, Nigerians have been paying light bill for light they did not consume so why will they not want to pay SMS tax? They issue is that govt has been taking the citizens for a ride. If you give me 24hrs light like you have in Europe and tell me to pay whatever tax, in fact i will be tge first person to go and pay because I'm seeing the result. If i was govt, i will first of all earn the trust of citizens with the little i am getting before asking people to pay more.

Banana, you will abandon a potential market of 150 million and go compete in a 3million market, that's why you can't build such a business. Vodacom is still licking it's wound for ignoring the Nigerian market allowing the formerly nondescript MTN rocket past it to number one
