I've been reading comments from some Nigerians saying the reason why the federal government can't pay NIGERIANS the way foreign governments have been paying their citizens is cos Nigerian s don't pay tax. If I may ask can the FG account for the billions of naira it collects from all of us as VAT? Not to talk of the PAY AS YOU EARN. THE government is just been irresponsible if they refuse to pay stay at home stipends 6 Likes 1 Share |

Okoroawusa:you are the one without an idea. For your information the VAT is an indirect form of tax. Infact on every bottle of coke or beer you buy you pay VAT. You don't have to see it on your receipt. The company collects the VAR which is included in the price or payment and then remits to the FG 5 Likes |

Powerintoxicate: Ignorant and naive comment Educate yourself please and stop this foolishness, start by asking how much the tax revenue amounts to and how much of it is used in recurrent expenditure....... The fact is the tax collected and oil revenue is not enough to meet recurrent expenditure talk less carrying out any meaningful capital expenditure apart from buying vehicles and office equipments 5 Likes |

Powerintoxicate: Almost 86% percent of Nigeria has no idea what Value Added Tax is! Even the educated ones who must have come across it during their school days. We pay VAT in almost everything we purchase in this country and still government is using excuse of Nigeria not paying taxes to keep people in Hunger, whereas every citizen at one point in time pay indirect tax. Billions of revenue are gotten from indirect tax in almost non perishable goods we consume. I weep for this country 3 Likes |

Yes, Nigerians pay taxes almost on a daily basis. Even if the amount taken out PAYE is nothing compared to other African countries. I will agree that Nigerians pay taxes anyway. To Nigerian Police on the Roads! |

Income Tax is different from Value Added Tax (VAT) I’ll try to break it down, income tax is levied on your income such as salary. The current income tax in Nigeria is one of the lowest in the work, no country can survive at this lower income tax rate. For example, South Africa minimum income tax rate is 25% of your month salary, and like 40% minimum in UK. The country needs to increase the income tax. The VAT is on anything you purchase in the country. Also one of the lowest in the world at 5/7.5%, this is too low for a country as big as ours that requires modern infrastructure. 4 Likes 1 Share |

In terms of wealth, accomplishment, development, good governance, corruption, any or every criteria at all what positions does Nigeria occupies n how many countries in the entire world did their government pay their citizen anything ? Now if you have a functional brain ask yourself how many countries in Africa made such payment ? If that doesn't give you the answer you need ask how many third world country or underdeveloped countries made such payments. You see in Nigeria I am tired of reading from clowns everyday, some clowns want the best equal to first world country but won't bother to ask where Nigeria is atm. You want a Nigeria that can not conduct ordinary census to give out money like Canada UK or USA. Una matter tire me. Till this hour no Africa country gave out palliative like the FG n state governors did in Nigeria yet you'd rather wail till Buhari bring you heaven on Earth. Powerintoxicate: 2 Likes |

Jokerman: Those flaunting paychecks from their government won't tell you they pay between 15 - 25% tax whereas in Nigeria we pay a paltry 5-7%.....thats why most of us think those politicians we elect are magicians, they are not and that's why they almost always fail...... If tax should be increased now, your likes will want heaven to fall forgetting that those developed countries we admire collect far higher taxes from their citizens 4 Likes |
