Do you know if the tax tribunal can send defaulters like Linda to PRISON?
I hope so because that is a very effective, less noisy way to fight CORRUPTION successfully in a systematic manner.

The tax laws are well behind times as they need to be reviewed as the penalties spelt out there are laughable. However, what the TAT (Tax Appeal Tribunal) does is to either uphold assessments, ask for the assessments to be amended or discharge assessments depending on the evidences before the tribunal

If I am staying in a flat with N800,000 rent, does it not make sense that I pay tax of N50,000 while the blogger who made enough profit to buy a N500 million mansion must pay N75 million?
Do you understand?

Here you are supposed to pay 10% of N800,000 as WHT to either FIRS or LIRS, then give N720,000 to your landlord. That is aside your PAYE

So your tax worth is well above 50k

They have started...forming closeness to the masses....same way past pastor osinbade entered BRT and patronised roasted plantain sellers during the campaign.....even Aisha haliburton fried akara and posted the pictures....amaechie plaited hair etc.....once they win the elections they become incommunicado and unreachable.

You spoke my mind. True talk

So sad. RIP

May she find mercies with God

seguno2:
You have made yourself clearer.
However do you think that the guys in FIRS are dumb and dunces?
Would they not have checked the paper trail of her tax payments to Lagos IRS?
Anyway, I hope that she is made to pay and the tax people move on to our other yeyebrities and the political office holders. They all should pay TAXES properly and appropriately, don't you agree?

Definitely there should be collaborations between LIRS & FIRS and with fall in oil prices the chances of LINDA being let off is very small.

Anyway, the tax tribunal is there to handle tax disputes should they arise.

She made profit from her legal entity business of blogging, not so?
Since she bought the mansion with the profits of her blogging business, she must show that she paid taxes on it BEFORE spending the remaining amount, right?
Is there any part of the explanation that you don't understand?

Am not saying that she is not liable to pay tax. Am talking of the relevant body to deal with the issue as what we may be dealing with here are Withholding Taxes (WHT). FIRS deals with Limited Liabilities (Ltd.,Plc, Banks, Multinationals ) - Corporate Entities while LIRS handles individuals and that's where Linda falls into especially if she purchased the house from an individual which is most likely but if she purchased the house from a Corporate body, that's when FIRS can ask for the WHT.
I hope I've made myself clearer.

They should not forget to go after all the Yoruba and Arewa bloggers as well. I can name 20 popular ones for proper references.

They shouldn't forget to go after all the Lagos based celebrities including Wizkid, P-Square, etc.


Failure to do that would make FIRS look stup!d.


I'm not Igbo by the way, but I'm not f00lish. Until we learn to do things fairly and rightly in this part of the world, we'd always be the animals that we are.

Just recently in the US, fire fighters traced a Nigerian Oba. That's how credible agencies work, they don't work like animals and visionless remotely controlled wanderers.

The sensible ones should know the reason for these troubles. Just because Linda accepted PDP sponsored ads doesn't make her a criminal. She has done nothing differently from Olamide, Ice Prince and other celebrities who featured in the Ambode campaign songs. But HELL NO; Foolishness won't make us think.

Let's check the authenticity of this so called fine. Linda is not a Legal entity and am sure she did not purchase the house from a Legal entity and so has no business with FIRS but with LIRS

EternalTruths:
Good response

The same hate for Igbos is what drives him against Kanu today

Imagine arresting Ojukwu who was never part of the government.

Though this is an old thread but I have to say my mind here.

What did Ojukwu do and why was Shagari not imprisoned?

It is on record that Bubu hates Igbos that why he had to put Ekwueme (VP) in prison while his brother, Shagari (President ) was placed on house arrest

ehissi:
Again that is false!! Ojukwu was released unconditionally by the Ibrahim Babangida Administration - which upstaged Buhari in a coup - there was no intention by Buhari anywhere or anyday to release Ojukwu. This is one reason Babangida was a very hard man to dislike, as far as Nigerian politicians were concerned.

Babangida gave unconditional release to all poltical detainees of the Buhari government, all without exception. He started on a fresh note as far as detention is concerned!

One thing you must bear in mind is that Ojukwu arrest nor release had nothing to do with Corruption - that will be very foolish to say!!

In present terms, let me give you an exact scenerio of what you are saying!!

It is like Buhari in this present time arresting Jimi agbaje for the Corruption going on in lagos state, simply because PDP, in the last administration is believed to be corrupt!!

Jimmy agbaje simply contested to be governor in Lagos and lost! He never held a position in Jonathan's cabinet or the party or any cabinet for that matter neither did he have involvement in Fashola's government. PDP was at the centre but in Lagos, which is supposed to be Jimi's stronghold is controlled solely by APC, so wetin concern Jimi!!??

So why arrest jimi, when fashola is there strutting like a G O D.

Ok, he said shagari was corrupt, where did shagari end up?? The main person who was corrupt was chilling out in a Hotel somewhere while Ojukwu was moved to kirikiri!!

Ojukwu's arrest was a power play, to keep him in Check!!

Explain the rationale??

Every person who was/is in a position to explain what happened to PTDF money under Buhari's care; with respect to heavy contract awards is dead.

The only real link, in this Dispensation of democracy, that can link Buhari's past to his present is Dasuki!!

As far as I am concerned, in this land Nigeria, Dasuki is the only security person in Nigeria's history who has been charged to explain how monies meant for security matters was spent!

For me, that is blackmail! There are colonels, Generals that had known links with Boko Haram in the military that have been caught, people who gave intel on field ops to Boko Haram, sponsored them with uniforms and weapons supply; how many has Buhari subjected to the kind of Open embarrassment in the media as Dasuki!!

Or their own too is not corruption that Buhari should be seen to fight ba??

And we say Buhari is fighting corruption!! Let us wait and see the end of the trial; you will understand better then! That is assuming you are not an APC fanatic!!

I see only one thing here, hatred for the Igbos

I dnt gv a hoot about exterior, I dnt like unnecessary attractions but I sure have taste. The interior of my home will be epic so help me God.

Nepotism and favouritism . Senate hold his balls.

Tighten your seatbelts as you will get more embarrassments as the President is still suffering from his hearing problems.

#tribal and religious bigotry at the peak

quid:
As usual
Buhari is silent

Omenka is Igbo-phobic

At least now that Buhari has been cured of his hearing disabilities, he may hear our cries as a nation.


Which way Nigeria?

fulanimafia:
You've all heard the war veteran.

If those that dared to attack the military during their secession protests had reflected 'very seriously' about the avoidable Biafran war and the outcome, some wouldn't be 6 feet down in the earth today like those that came before them.

Reflect. Very. Seriously. And. Be. Wise.

And not a single word for the errant fulani herdsmen?
One Nigeria indeed!

SMH seriously

Sweet sweet love

Too many deaths this year. May God help us.

Oh boyi see meat oooh

omenka:
Another jab below the belt of the cantankerous enemies of state.

Baba, we love you and would continue to pray for you. May God grant you the health, grace and wisdom to finish this task of ridding our country of her most potent human and ideological vices.

It is well with you and my country.

And the potent human vices are there with him grinning from ear to ear.

By the way who his tallness epp?

What a loss? May God comfort their families and grant the deceased eternal rest. Hmm the woman is beautiful even in death. RIP. So pathetic.

That vehicle must have been on top speed to have recorded this heavy loss and wreckage.

I learnt to always keep all denominations of the naira because of those nasty conductors in Lagos
