but that is the way it is in the abroad. income tax is just one tax stream
we are going to have to start actual tax calculations and filings etc

So every money that enters my account must be taxed? Even if my sister sends me 200k from abuja to withdraw and give to my mumsy when I see her physically ; they will tax that 200k because it hit my account after alreadg removing postage stamp money?

Remember my sister's income has most likely been taxed from source before she sent the 200k o

I really need to know the role of the bank in helping FIRS get tax monitored from our bank accounts.

Those or us already paying PAYE will not feel the new tax law like that since we are already used to having our tax deducted from source.

As for those who were not in the tax bracket before that will be added newly, they will feel it and complain more.

The only concern I have is fear of multiple taxation. For example my salary is already taxed from source. Now if I decide to invest part of my salary In any of these investment funds and then months later the funds pay me my principal sum and yields on the investment, the tax man may want to tax that money the moment it hits my bank account. I feel that will be unfair Sha

akwesenana:
Please anyone to explain this tax laws they say will start next year?

Watch this ; he explained it in normal everyday language for everybody to understand.

Funny thing is if they implement the law like they are planning, it will be difficult for anybody to escape paying tax including yahoo boys and people who always claim they don't earn in naira

Bluelines69:
Wissa can sure finish unlike Gordon, and i see both of them starting with time. I watched Woltemade their last game he’s just like Ekitike

I never said Wissa can it finish, but gbey need real strikers at least 2 for them to be able to compete like their peers in EPL and UCL

Gordon makes it 2-1

Bluelines69:
Wissa still Dey sha no forget, this guy too don’t look bad

That one is not a real striker like that like that. He's more of a winger at best.

I'm saying they should've signed real goal poachers whose job is to score goals and nit just to sprint and dribble

This Newcastle will suffer this year both in the EPL and UCL due to the absence of a proven goal scorer. They should've signed at least 2 decent strikers during the transfer windows

Na all the players wey commit man utd dey prosper while the club just dey GBA anyhow 😂

Rashidi makes it 2-0

Rashford goal

Sportsweb:
Hamas boys still de cry for here?

[color=royalblue]All of us go kuku watch Izrel and US, play from Group stage to Final.

How long will these killings continue?

Make Europe boycott the WC, so all of us go rest.[/color]

If dem like sef make dem cancel the world cup sef.

I believe when Hamaas are tired of using the people they are supposed to be fighting for as human shield, they will do the needful and the war will end.

Spy360:
This is the hypocrisy that's shocking me

U dey mind them?

Make dem dey wine themselves with wailing about purported genocide when the terrorists still have hostages in their custody.

liveLongNprospa:
In all my years dealing with HSE, I never hear this thing before.
Rented out what?

That's what their staff and those who have entered the building before are saying online.

How true it is, I don't know.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]At what point will Israel stop sef? How many more needs to die before all these blame games stop?

Yes, it was clear that it would get to this, but for how long?

Make European countries pull out of the WC sef, make everybody rest.

Israel and US will make the WC very interesting [/color]

I don't know o, but I believe they have already given their condition for ceasefire.

What I know is countries withdrawing from world cup will not have much effect on the war. Israel doesn't seem like a country that will backdown because of boycott of a sports tournament

TrebleChamp:
Cantona is talking about the double standard. FIFA and Uefa rightly banned Russia for invading Ukraine, they should do same to Izrel to show they don't support killing and starving of innocent Palestinian men, women and children...

The two are not the same na; that's false equivalence

iamoyindamola:
Seems fifa has opened disciplinary action against SA for fielding and ineligible player against Lesotho

Will tbey fine them or deduct their points?

TrebleChamp:
Eric Cantona is now a terrorist sympathizer....

FOOTBALL LEGEND ERIC CANTONA…
Calls out UEFA and FIFA hypocrisy for not suspending Israel from football.

CLUBS EVERYWHERE SHOULD REFUSE TO PLAY ISRAEL‼️#TogetherForPalestine

Lmao

So, If FIFA suspend Israel from all international football competition, the war will automatically stop ba? Just dey play!

Why can't these people channel all their energy to advice Palestine to release Israeli hostages in their custody and see if the war won't end.

2-5m IS NOT going to cut it for white collar workers

you can maybe get away with 2-5m for labourers on building site - if the family are not aggressive

and four of the victims were FIRS workers at supervisory or MGT level.

people likely earning up btw 8 to 15m per year. what was their expected /projected earnings till retirement

Their insurer will pay the families of the deceased staff x3 of their annual salary as death benefit. That is the standard for any company that has group life insurance on their employees.

However, due to the circumstances of their death, the families of the deceased should approach the companies and demand further compensation. Hopefully the company will do something extra for them from the company's purse.

The official death toll has now increased to 10. FIRS lost 4 employees while United Capital(A subsidiary of UBA group) lost 6 employees.

GloriousGbola:
I am sure lasg will seal the building

They don't necessarily need to seal the building . As it stands the building cannot be put to use and it will require some time for them to put it back into shape. So, by the time the dust settles down they will renovate the building and continue its usage.

Even if they announce sealing of the building, it won't take them more than few weeks or months before they reopen it. They will claim integrity test has been done on the building and the building is fine but only requires renovation.

iamoyindamola:
In a working country, the employees can sue and win then the building will be closed for review

Unfortunately, we are in Nigeria. Even if they decide to go to court, before the judge hear the case and pronounce judgement it may take more than one year. Then the bank can decide to appeal the judgement if it doesn't favour them and that one will take another long period. The bank can still disagree with the appeal court verdict and go to Supreme court.

Before the whole circus ends, the employees and their families would've been frustrated sef . We don get court case before in our family fighting for an injustice done to our parents and I know how exhausting the court process was on all of us. Even me wey no dey follow them go court, I suffered exhaustion too.

With the personality of Tony Elumelu, I doubt if the employees will get fair judgement. As it stands, they are most likely at the mercy of whatever financial compensation the bank decides to award to them.

GloriousGbola:
I just remembered one of my former colleagues has a wife who is in FIRS

i just called him

fortunately she was out of the office when it happened

apparently it is actually 11 to 13 people that died - not 7. also i am hearing that there may have been fire escapes and that the spaces [ likely the landings] were rented out as shopping space


and yes everything points to an inverter catching fire

Exactly the same thing the woman who called in on a radio program said. Maybe that was why UBA released that terse press release that made little or no sense. They are probably trying to cover their asss for their mess up in the whole incident.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]May the families of those who lost their loved ones find comfort.

Can't imagine waking up to go to work, only to hear that your spouse, mum, dad, brother, etc died while at work..[/color]

It's just so sad.

One woman called in on a radio program I was listening to earlier this morning; she said they went to visit a family friend who lost his wife in the incident. The deceased wife drove her husband to the airport in the morning for him to catch his flight to Abuja after which she went to work at Afriland towers.

The man was called in Abuja that there was fire in his wife's office, so he had to rush down back to Lagos. He was directed to UBA head office where the news was later broken to him that his wife had died in the incident. The woman left behind 2 kids and her husband. She said the husband is still in shock till now .

The caller claimed the building had emergency exit but that it had been rented out to another tenant.

Ibime:
The bodies are starting to turn up

https://www.nairaland.com/8521351/firs-mourns-four-assistant-directors

Yeah. Seems FIRS who occupies one of the floors of the building lost staff and even UBA too did.

Then there those who will have health complications in the future due to fumes they inhaled

Upper mechanic na fooool Sha, where was he rushing to there instead of releasing the pass ? 🤦‍♂️

Jackson know say Sanchez mumu, he Wan score am that kind goal

raumdeuter:
He didnt do great in attack at all. I hope he turns it around

He put more effort in defence though by tracking

He looks a shadow of himself in that attack. He's beginning to play like Martinelli who will do everything well in defence but mess up when it's time to do his primary duty of attack

VAR rules the goal offside.

Scores remain 3-1 advantage bayern

Bayern defence useless pass Chelsea own Sha

Palmer makes it 3-2

raumdeuter:
Bayern need more goals

Chelsea can turn this around

Diaz just useless in this match. The guy used be a very good player when he was at Loserpool. What happens to him in Germany?
