The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, on Thursday urged the Federal Government not to increase the Value Added Tax. He said an increase in VAT will reduce the spending capacity of the people and might increase hardship. He urged the Federal Government to rather consider increasing the tax net. He spoke on Thursday during the 11th Bola Tinubu Colloquium marking his 67th birthday, at the International Conference Centre, Abuja. It may be recalled that, sequel to the approval of N30,000 as minimum wage by the National Assembly, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma; and the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Mr. Babatunde Fowler, had said the Federal Government was considering an upward review of the Value Added Tax by 50 per cent. Udoma and Fowler who stated this on Tuesday when they appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance, said the increment was to, among others, enable the Federal Government to fund the new national minimum wage. Fowler said the proposed payable VAT by Nigerians based on the increment would actually be between 35 per cent (6.75%) and 50 per cent (7.25%). The government is currently charging five per cent VAT on all products in the country. https://www.akelicious.net/2019/03/you-cant-increase-vat-tinubu-tells-fg.html 7 Likes 2 Shares

The way the federal government perform increment is alarming. Fuel went from #75 to #145, now they are planing on increasing VAT by 50%, and the minimum wage they recently approved is nothing to write home about. NEXT LEVEL!!!!! 42 Likes 3 Shares |

Tinubu means the opposite of his statement. When this will mean more bullion vans? Is it not Fowler, his errand boy , that initiated the idea? 22 Likes 4 Shares |

Chai!  You're going to the media to pretend like you're fighting for the public masses... It's either.... A strategic propaganda to build a platform for his own future Presidential ambition OR PMB is beginning to show his 'military' prowess.Just imagine how this Fool is playing politics... Ignorant, innocent yet, foolish Nigerians would think this Fool is speaking on their behalf. The same dude that has his wife as a law-maker. Who else make such law other than your wife and your president? Who's in control on the FG?  APC! So, why couldn't you guys have discussed behind closed doors as, it's within your powers as the ruling party. Of course Foolish Nigerians would hail him like he has their interest. FAKE!!! 25 Likes 3 Shares
