For real??
I see u

The reason why tax is not accounted for is because most of you Nigerians do not pay income tax.

If the majority of the country was paying income tax, (emphasis on income tax, which is a different thing from VAT and the host of other small taxes you folk harp on)...the government would be on its toes 24/7. That';s why the saner climes work. In the UK, someone would pay income tax, national insurance contribution, VAT and municipal tax, and yes, it pains them well...well enough to PAY ATTENTION to their government.

Most Nigerians are not like you and me, they just go throught the day without thinking much about how government does the do.

The tax we pay is so low...NOTE that this is before looting comes into play...that it cannot fund our budget. That's a big part of why our loans are so enormous. Oil money also accounts for a lot of our budget.

You better wake up. There is a method to my insanity. But you cannot see it, because foryou and the tinubu supporters, you are at least alike in one way. Government is not for development.

We are all in it together unless u are getting ur share bros. No same minded person will support oppression of citizens all in the name of tax that is not accounted for. Trust me Bro. u no get point at all for this tax thing, u are just a supporter of bad government

nairalanda1:
Okay, o. Enjoy your bad government. Just know that if you want a Rolls Royce, you cannot pay N400 and collect one , fresh off the manufacturing line.

You still don't get it Bro. U can't tax a poor population that u don't provide anything for? yet u tax them already through other means without benefit in return yet u clamor for formal and informal taxes? Only a wicked person or government would do that.

Now ask yourself, u clamoring for PIT what do u get from the government in return as an unemployed citizens, in coutries where these taxes are paid they get value in return, when they are unemployed government pay them stipends to keep them going, housing funds, etc until they become employed, their children are paid once the where given birth to every month and billions of naira from our natural resources what are they doing with it? I just hate when we in these country give these government excuses not to perform!

What has these government we call our own given to the unemployed? Nothing, they roam the streets, and its also the government responsibility to provide jobs or create an enabling environment for it citizen to thrive then tax them but her.

Bro. i no won talk too much abeg.

nairalanda1:
Most Nigerians do not pay income tax, or do tax returns. If you work in the informal sector, you have probably never paid a federal or state tax. About the only tax you pay is VAT and some LG Levies. But you have never filled a form detailing your income so that the government can determine how much you pay in tax.

Most tax is paid by people in formal employment through PAYE, but they are a minority of the population, not the majority.

Also, most of the rich do not pay federal income tax

Also, most nigerian cities do not levy municipal tax, and so forth. Most farmers and rural dwellers do not pay a tax on their crops or income. ANd so forth.

In 2016, PWC put the percentage of Nigerians paying tax at 16% . World Bank put it at 30% in 2019, government today puts it at 44%,

That's why our budget is based on crude oil benchmarks.....not on income tax revenue. If most nigerians were paying tax, the price of crude won't be that relevant.

And before you start. VAT generated about 8 trillion naira last year. Our budget is 64 trillion naira. VAT can't fund the budget.

No issue then

But keep it in mind, Nigerian pay taxes!

nairalanda1:
If Obi or atiku or gej was president, I would say exactly the same thing.Ditto anyone else, you inclusive.

Oga keep quiet there Stop defending your lubish Government! I gave birth to u after 2yrs i said u should start taking care ursef and me

That country u mention first gave it citizens before asking from them, not asking from them when u gave nothing at all! Can u fetch water from a dried well? Of course not, u first dig it deeper, water flows then u tax people that come to fetch, but in ur country ur government want to provide water then tax u, fix road then tax u, buy fuel higher and tax, provide electricity for yourself with solar and generator then tax u for both power, and generator.

Do u know oga that if ur telecommunication networks are well regulated u have no reason having more than one sim card on a phone? Yes let me school u small, if MTN is working perfectly u will have an MTN sims for all ur businesses thereby reducing cost, but right now one person will have 5 sims and u think its normal, of course its not, either network is bad here or there so u switch from one to another.

Bros. Tell me who is paying for both lines, u, why because the government who is suppose to regulate them is not doing so. Guy i no won talk too much else i would list alot things u people think its normal, which is not.

And mind you? Bros, we do more the government than its doing for us, we all pay taxes, fuel you buy is taxed, food u eat is taxed, Drinks are taxed, the road u ply is taxed even though its bad, electricity is taxed yet u can't get it. I dont want to even talk about fuel because the mess is too much.

There is 50 naira stamp duty Brother everyone in this country pays whether u have account or not as long as send u money u go pay, guy just time 100m x 50 naira lets assume only 100m person do transaction onces every year, calculate and see guy

Note: this is ur hard earned money that no one has right to touch even after paying tax on it, u are still charged stamp duty!

Please, for those youth who want to get sense, its not everything that is politics and religion and ethicity call out the government for whatsl it doing wrong and praise them for the good things.

But for this point u made here ehhh e no follow at all sentiments and wuruwuru full inside.

nairalanda1:
Because you won't pay the municipal taxes that are needed to provide decent toliet anemities, and you won't pay a cost reflective tarrif to allow the power companies supply you 24 hour a day light

The countries you envy do both, and it is not like they can afford it, people complain about the thing, and some even can't pay, yet most pay it.

People like you think that an income of less than 100 trillion naira annually can somehow make a country of 237 million a first world country.

Chai why i no see ur comment on time,i don waste time register

Mere looking at that marriage, you go think say the marriage go last long because the man is old(mature) but the reverse was the case, the marriage ended as a comedy show for content creators. Anyways i wish them the very best as they step into this new phase but my own na to give advise as usual especially if Peller no meet her as a virgin.

This is a very educating post up there, thanks alot.

I really learnt alot too.

However, you ending note of some people u quote that are not involve is not entirely true.

Am from the south south and i can tell u one thing, the day my king comes out to say this must stop/properly condemn such, Omo it will stop no matter how u drag it, cuz he is the custodian of our culture and heritage and 95% will obey him and if u dont, he will point u out and the government will pick u up if they don't we the people will!

So dont under estimate the Power of the Sultan and Emirs all over the North. If they want these to be cut by half (50%) they can cuz they have the people and power to do that! It might no stop it totally but may make the work lot more easier run these people aground within months of operations. Leaving just remnants of them which can be taken out with time by the Police.

Few months before elections, mercenaries came and reduce them to the barest minimum not with foreign soldiers but with same Nigerian military that is being chewed everyday and Buhari came and sent them packing... These persons knowns exactly what they doing!


These Kings, Emirs and co in the North knows exactly what they are doing!
