Less than 1% of taxable adults pay taxes in 2017-Ambode
By NewsDesk,

Ahead of Federal Government’s April 1 deadline for people that fall into taxable adult circle to comply with Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS) or face wrath of law, the Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode, has raised concerns that of eight million profiled adults in the state, only 700,000 paid taxes in 2017, the figure which stood against about two million that submitted tax returns during the stated year.

From Ambode’s statistic, of 24 million people living in the state, less than one per cent of eight million from taxable circle remitted taxes to relevant agency of the state in 2017.
