Three days ago an LPG tanker came to load LPG at Escravos, Million tonnes of LPG was loaded to be taken out of the country, Yet Nigeria a country so blessed with natural resources keeps importing refined LPG for domestic uses while we are sitting on these natural resources in our country..... Sometimes I weep for next generation because these old thieves in power gonna finish up the country for them.. Keep shouting sai Buhari and supporting this evil regime.... Sha wetin concern me before 30k BMC cretins go come talk say dem fit feed me and my family for one year hahahahaha 3 Likes |

Beancounter94: Imagine paying 46-51% tax and then it gets embezzled with nothing to show for it. You don't seem to live in Nigeria. The politicians will never allow some group of people rise against them in any way. They pay more attention now and very ruthless in dealing with any antagonistic attempt. |

BennyDGreat: 1.Well we don't pay 46-51% tax. More like 0-24%..plus if you earn below a certain income you pay nothing. 2.It may be a good idea...may make most people start paying attention to our government , and them politicans. May also reduce our dependence on borrowing. Plus there are only so many people that can be killed. Besides, developed countries got developed because people were ready, sometimes at the cost of their lives, to work for better governance. 3 Likes 1 Share |

A lot of people argue blindly just to support this disaster of an administration. They think government should just tax anyhow. A government that makes noise about environmental protection is driving people back to using 'dirty fuels'. The FG should have provided incentives to potential investors in the Gas sector to invest locally. The dumbest position of pmb's supporters is saying Nigerians need to be taxed more. The issue should not be taxing people more, it should be increasing the number of tax payers. 1 Like |

dominique:We are our own problem, tax holiday was giving for the importers to invest in local production of LPG, but no they we prefer to import and never develop what we have in excess locally. The tax is returning on imported LPG the local producer will now enjoy the benefit of producing locally, this could further discourage the importation. Government policy may feel ash at times, but trust is almost always for the benefit of Nigerians in the long run, but we in this part of the world are just to quick in blaming government on everything. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Akwamkpuruamu:But Nigerian will not stop importation is it's not discouraged. We so much prefers buying and selling without adding any value. We want a better Nigeria, tax the importers and the local production will gain more and expand quickly. If not the importers will kill the local producers. We lose employment to other countries when you import such product just because a man want quick profit from importation without adding any value to the product been sold locally. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jamesbiodun: The thing here is that many Nigerians are fools. They had the chance to make changes, but out of greed, they are still where they are today. The strategy is to make the masses poor so that during those periods of hardship, they have no other person to ask for help rather than them. When election is coming closer, they get bribed ( who would not want to collect bribe after facing hardship in years), with that strategy, victory is assured. The only way to elect a good leader is through E-voting. Why is it that when it comes to online pool, the best is always winning, but in the real, it is something else. I just want to leave this country for a better country. Tired of the president, armed forces, and some Nigerians as a whole. 1 Like |

Oga NALPAGAM, go and invest in gas plant to produce LPG from our gas currently flared away? Why leave yams on our farm to rot away and be importing pounded yam from other countries? Do they have 2 heads? Call your members together, raise the finance to Build your own plant to avoid 7.5% VAT so we can also create local jobs, experience and have less gas flaring. Enough of container economy that has continued to kill our currency and importing unemployment. 3 Likes 1 Share |

377: Is standard of living in Ghana, Niger, Benin, Liberia etc better than Nigeria where they pay 400 naira equivalent for fuel and probably higher prices for cooking gas? If imported gas cost 1000 the VAT on it is 75 naira. Is the current increase just about 75 naira? If you paid 4000 before and now there is VAT you pay 4,300 is that why markets sell for 5500 or 6000 for 12.5kg? If govt withdraw VAT at best you pay 5,600 instead of 6000 2 Likes |

iLegendd: See citizen of a country who is not ready to perform any duty but looking for food is ready. The sequence is you pay your tax and ask for how it is spent, no sane person will campaign that taxes should not be paid. Why should Nigeria be subsidizing foreign production if we are intent on having or encouraging local production? Local production is already free of tax meaning we are incentivizing local producers. You are asking we subsize foreign production when we desperately need to transit to local production, that's lack of seriousness 3 Likes 1 Share |

You can see the relationship in economic advancement with increased tax collection rate, you're free to cling to your poverty club and bring leaders that will cancel taxation and keep you tied forever in the poverty club 3 Likes 1 Share |

blaise26abj: Already LPG production will increase with the ongoing expansion of NLNG train 7+ project by 8m tons capacity. Dangote refinery will throw in his own LPG production to the market and will avoid VAT. Some modular refineries and gas plants under construction will also benefit. Let those importers be crying and not find another way to invest in plants for long term business instead of mere trading. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Beancounter94: Truth and fact is very bitter that's why you find many ignorant people here cursing their existence and wishing death on whoever attempts to school them. But all that doesn't change reality on ground. We've been adding 7m people every year to our population, about 3 times population of UAE citizens, and we expect one commodity with unstable prices will continue to meet our demand to import everything. If we don't domesticate local production now and endure little discomfort, we are heading for doom and disaster Venezuela type. 2 Likes 1 Share |

proclinician: Only 13% of Nigerian working population formal+informal are registered for taxation, meaning 87% are already outside the tax net. Out of the 13% many don't bother to remit and nothing happens to them as most state govt don't care as long as FAAC gives monthly share. Out of the 13% registered earners are mega business men like Atiku who make billions a year but paid a personal income tax of mere 10m in 3 years just about what a mid level banker also pays. Some earns millions under the radar as transporters, fish farmers, traders in full containers etc turnover billions but have no TIN number, hence pay zero income tax. Their business or sales account is via personal bank account. A whole lot of mess out there. |

Nauttyprof: Private investors are already building refinery and gas plants to produce LPG for sale tax free, while traders who just put margin and sell are wailing as they will lose market share. 2 years tax holiday was given to LPG importers to make plans to invest in local production, rather than wail, smart people took the risk to invest in local production many now expect govt to shift the goal post so investors can complain of policy inconsistency? No way, let's use our policies to get to where we need to be, not enjoy now and suffer later. We need the local investment, the jobs, the experience and the service companies that will spring up due to local production. 2 Likes |
