It was yesterday I was pondering the sudden steep gas prices when I remembered that the gas marketers enjoyed a 2 year tax holiday. The tax holiday has since elapsed and they have to resume paying taxes which of course will reflect on the price of the product. It happens everywhere in the world. I wish they didn't have to do it now that everything else is so expensive. There's no cheaper alternative of anything in this country

CamusMidas:

You guys should just shut up with this narrative already, who was going to unseat Buhari then? Atiku? Make we hear word jareh.

budaatum:


If it too is imported, I hope they do, as it would encourage local production.

richidinho:
Even firewood now is expensive

Ogbeniomo:
Since they ban the importation of rice, chicken, tomato, to encourage local production, how are Nigerians are enjoying it now?

Cokahot:
My gas still dey and e go last me at least 6months

My brother is not any voters fault. We where deceived with fake and bogous campaing promises thinking we got the right person not knowing we are in for long thing. All i no is one day e go end less than two years from now.

Jamesbiodun:
They sha want to make life hard for people but what they don't know is when people rise up against the government, there won't be anywhere for them to escape

nedugroup:


With the way, they want to gag us. Ban twitter, gag freedom of speech, threaten you when you plan a protest and kill you if you insist, loot with reckless abandon, lie with no honour and smite you at any given opportunity. Load up loans upon us. My dear, has any past leader or government office holder been jailed for 9 months on the basis of corruption in this country before.
How would u hold them accountable when the laws of the country don't hold them accountable as along as they are in the ruling party.

We are still day dreaming and waking up is far from us.
The evidences are glaring.

oranget:

Shebi all of you think it's MNK and Sunday Ignition that should speak out, until 1kg of LPG hit 1,000 naira, so many people will not know something is wrong with Nigeria.

budaatum:


Is value added tax the only tax payable? Do some countries not pay 20% vat after their income has been subjected to up to 40% tax?

Yes, I think you better explain tax, in general, to me. Explaining might help you understand better.

Topleague:
you dont want to pay tax on anything and you want to develop, you cant eat your cake and have it. It is time Nigeria know that they have to pay realistic price for most essential amenities, go to any developed country they live by tax. What you need is to hold your leader accountable

budaatum:


With Nigeria having immense amounts of gas of its own, this is a very good development, and I hope a new vat rate of 50% is what is imposed, because local production of gas is not only much cheaper, it would provide local employment too.

Let me make one thing clear to you in as much as I'm having a very difficult time knowing where to start from because you arguments are so flawed that I wonder your level of education and exposure. Let me assume you are a degree holder and you have managed to get a job with some company where they give u some appointment letter. If you manage to go through ur appointment letter you will see a breakdown of what constitutes your annual salary. First there's a basic salary followed by allowance and TAX out of which when you deduct the tax value from the gross you have your Net salary. This TAX is your own share of the tax paid by the company to the govt provided it us a registered company and your income from the registered company qualifies as a taxable income unless otherwise stated by law.

I work on fiverr as a freelance using verified a U.S seller account and I pay tax to the u.s government. Fiverr is a registered company based in the u.s which pays tax to the u.s govt. This amount is then shared among all sellers in fiverr to a certain degree which we all pay since fiverr operates on a gig economy and our income on the platform qualifies as taxable.

That said, your next argument fit be eeehh but not all Nigerians work in a registered company. Some Nigerians are jobless, just managing to survive hence do not pay tax. Others have business that are not registered hence do not pay tax.

Irrespective of how lame this line of thought sounds, I will also need to remind you that this is how it is all over the world. If you have no taxable income, you're not taxed. Person way de tax u where he want make u bring the money from? Provided you have a taxable income which is what u earn from a registered company, you pay.

Next time u get a job take time to read ur appointment letter.

Unfortunate Buhari regime reimposed cooking gas tax, Nigerians to pay N10,000: Marketers

Nauttyprof:


Why didn't the government solve the problem of local production first? We have gas in excess but they lack the knowledge on how this can be readily available for the citizens.

You should have asked the question on why there are imported LPG when we have it in abundance? Would you have coal in abundance and readily available here and still go to the neighbouring west African country to look for this?

Gas is now more expensive that it used to be thanks to the government whose aim is to inflict hardship on the masses.

budaatum:


See that bold? It's where you show your lack of knowledge and throw away your responsibility!

The tax you pay has nothing to do with the tax the company pays, and you don't pay a share of any companies tax!

The tax you pay is the amount deducted by the company as legislated by government. It's your money, as in money that you earned but which the company has deducted from your pay to remit as your income tax to the government, and when you realise this, that it is not your share of the tax the companies pays, you might start asking the government to be more accountable to you as to how your tax money is spent!

Do know that after the company deducts tax from your gross income on behalf of government, you also get to pay vat out of your net. It would help you work out how much of your income government takes from you, and perhaps awaken you to how accountable you ought to make government be to you too.

LagbajaTheBEREAN:
This is a country that has over 600TCF of gas. We have proven reserves of 206TCF,” Mr Auwalu pointed out. “If you allow LPG to be imported without any restriction, it means you are not giving opportunity for upstream investors that will drill and get this gas.”

Sadly, this the true situation of things made in Nigeria products are jettison for foreign goods and the so called government that should think and break that jinx keep up with the shameless circle.

budaatum:


They want MNK and Sunday Ignition lol, to be the messiah who dies for them instead of us bearing our own cross.

I bid us good luck with that. We will open our eyes when it gets much harder than it currently is, I'm sure.
