We Will Not Increase Tax To Improve IGR - Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde by nairafame(m): 1:52pm On Aug 04, 2019 |
Oyo State government has assured all stakeholders in the state that the present administration will not increase tax on small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) in its drive to soar up its revenue base. The Chairman, Oyo State Board of Internal Revenue (BIR), Aremo John Adeleke gave the assurance in a statement issued and signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism, Dr Bashir Olanrewaju on Sunday. According to Adeleke, in the stead of increase tax, the state would rather look into areas that were not captured in its tax net to improve the internally generated revenue. He added that, the plans of Governor Seyi Makinde’s government is to build and nurture the growth of SMEs in the state and not to burden them with heavy tax that could drive them out of business. “It is in line with the promise of Governor Seyi Makinde to empower small scale businesses in the state to propel growth in our economy. “As he works assiduously to attract foreign and domestic investments to the state, he is also working to establish and sustain small and medium scale industries in Oyo State. So the idea of tax increment on businesses is not even to be discussed here. We will rather nurture them to grow and be self-sustaining than to over-burden them with tax. “The government nonetheless expects all SMEs to comply with all extant tax laws, especially the ones on personal assessment of business proprietors, withholding tax and VAT payable to the state”, Olanrewaju quoted the state revenue boss saying. Adeleke however, enjoined commercial vehicle owners and drivers as well as motorcycle riders and owners to collect necessary documents from approved agencies and tax stations under state internal revenue services instead of doing the same in neighboring states. He said “We assure everyone of quick turnaround time of registering or renewing vehicle documents. We also promise all our patrons quick availability of number plates for all categories of vehicles.” Adeleke also through the statement called on staffers of the board of internal revenue to be quick, responsive and work with utmost integrity and professionalism which he said was the best way to support the present administration in its drive for improved internally-generated revenue.

Flier: U have not been to Ibadan I guess ? It has one of the best network of roads and the part planned by the government seems perfect. However, that is not to say Seyi does not enough works to do. 1. School infrastructure 2. Teachers Quality 3. Agriculture 4. Transportation reform 5 Tourism and recreation activities. |
