Maybe Government should go after street beggers to collect tax too.

magicminister:


Laycon does not owe Ogun state any Tax fees as he resides in Lagos. They are just tweeting to trend but also exposing themselves to be idiots.

If BBN was conducted outside of Lagos, then Laycon would pay taxes to the state where the income was earned.

Thank you for the insight.

But BBN was held in Lagos state, does it mean Laycon would pay tax to Lagos state?

Tax is inevitable for everyone. you start from somewhere.

It is in their blood. Afonjas extorting citizens of Nigeria right from inception. It's either begging, taking by force or skull mining. Don't mention me, I will curse you

He can only pay his tax (if applicable) to the State of Residence, according to Residency Rule of Personal Income Tax (PITA) Act LFN 2004

Please can somebody just school me on on how somebody who was given money to pay tax on it.


Is just like Lagos state pr Ogun state telling me to pay tax on the money either lalasticlala gave me or seun gave me for winning a quick on nairaland.

Are this people normal or are they just joking?

Laycon doesn't have a business for him to warrant payment of tax from the money he was given

Tax ko tax collector ni

Shior

Oga even lottery winners in the us or other advanced countries pay tax from their earnings, the only people that I can think of that don't pay tax are people into drugs or other illicit businesses.

Will he pay tax twice?

It all depends on the laws guiding revenue and tax collection.
In some countries, quiz show prizes are not taxed. Quiz shows like ‘who want to be a millionaire’ and others like it are not taxed. Winners go home with their prizes but for reality shows like Big Brother, Music talent shows where the contestants have to be accommodated over a period of time, some countries see that as part of their work...contestants are seen as employees and prizes won are taxed.
There was a similar case in Germany few years ago where someone like Laycon was asked to pay his tax.

I’m not sure how it works in Nigeria but I think that Laycon should pay his tax to federal inland revenue rather than Lagos state or Ogun state...


After this, I’m sure his pastor would remind him to pay his tax, then his kinsmen/neighbourhood would also remind him that he has been owing security levies for six months...not forgetting that some ‘angry Gees’ would be waiting to hustle, kidnap, put him at the back of a car booth, drive away and keep him somewhere till he has transferred all the money into their account.

Be wise Laycon.

He is liable to tax only in his state of residence irrespective of his state of origin.

Moreso, this has more features of gifts rather than income from trade or employment and as such should not be subjected to tax since gift is not taxed in Nigeria.

My take though.

God deliver us from Yahoo government...

Police officers too will be waiting for him at every junction to claim their own rogger as well...

He doesn't owe Ogun State any tax. He lives and works in Lagos

It's not a gift O
He left his work and went there to earn the money.
He worked and competed for every tasks he won.

You don't have to do anything to earn a gift

He is resident in Lagos State therefore his tax should be paid to Lagos!

God bless you, I was getting confused. Abi I no remember my taxation again?

He didn't work in Ogun, so he won't pay nada. Those inquiring are the illiterates of the institution

No be only tax

If everyone does not pay taxes, where do you want your governments to have money for the provision of schools for every child, roads, garbage collectors, street sweepers, policemen, prisons, soldiers, water, electricity etc?
Do you want the governments to pay salaries and pensions with stones
Why do we blacks like to have everything without putting in any effort and paying nothing? What foolish person is expected to pay and work for us?

Racoon:
Success have many friends while failure is an orphan.The Lagos & Ogun state government want to cash out from this young man.Useless government.

What's useless here. Common sense should have let you know that LIRS cashed in on the opportunity of his popularity to draw attention to themselves and stir up the tax conversation but you just always want to wail and vent your frustrations on every thread.

Babtech001:
Ogun State Internal Revenue Service (OGIRS) has called on the Big Brother Naija 2020 winner Laycon to pay his tax.

Igbere TV reports that the agency’s request came after the Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) congratulated Laycon on Monday, urging him to pay his tax.



https://twitter.com/ogirshq/status/1310861602753781760?s=20

Laycon is an indigene of Ogun State but resides in Lagos. Igbere TV reports that Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun had on Monday congratulated him on Twitter.

Some of his tweets read: “The pacesetter that you are, you have emerged one of the best in academic and social engagements, so this victory is aptly a confirmation of your brilliance, intellect and maturity.

“Youths of Ogun State, Nigeria, Africa and in fact the world over, see you as the face of positive revolution in the history of African entertainment.”

Laycon got N30 million in cash for winning the show. He will also receive various gifts and incentives valued at N55 million. They include an all-expense-paid trip to Dubai for two, a two-bedroom apartment, a sport utility vehicle from Innoson Motors, a Scanfrost electronic makeover, one year supply of Pepsi Cola, one year supply of Munch It and Indomie noodles and VIP tickets to watch the European Champions League final.

Church will soon ask him to pay his tithe
