The Nigerian government said recently that All Nigerians are liable to pay tax and as such, no one would be left out of the tax net, including beggars.

Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun stated this at a lecture at PWC’s Business School, themed: ‘Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS) Interactive Session for Executives and Business Owners.’

She also said that some beggars make millions of ‘proceeds from begging’, and are taxable. In her words, she stated that “You are supposed to pay taxes even if your means of income is begging”.
