Get Ready To Start Paying 9% As Tax On Data, SMS And Calls by Simeon4real(m): 5:30pm On Aug 18, 2016 |
If you’re reading this post, Then you should start preparing to pay 9% tax of calls, data or SMS you make via your phone. Despite the tough economy, FG will start taking 9% tax from Nigerians over the usage of calls, SMS, MMS or data. This is in accordance to the Communication Service Tax Bill And No, This is entirely different from Stamp duty being charged by banks for tax. According to The Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu, Federal government of Nigeria would consult extensively with the private sector on the controversy surrounding the Communication Service tax bill. "The Communication Service Tax Bill, which is now before the National Assembly, seeks to levy 9% on subscribers for the use of the various communication services like voice call, SMS, MMS, Data usage from telecos, internet service providers and Pay TV Stations". The revenue that will be generated from the 9% tax debited from Nigerians would amount to over N20Bn and that’s definitely going into Government’s budget deficit funding. Now what this means is, You’ll be charged extra 9% tax (even if you’re not a worker ) every time you make either Calls, SMS or use data services. Just so you know, Nigeria has one of the most expensive tarrif plans already. SOURCE: http://www.techviber.com/get-ready-to-start-paying-9-as-tax-on-data-sms-and-calls/ |
