Fixed: Hi Jarus, A friend has an issue at hand as we speak. Your urgent advice will be appreciated.

My friend is into frozen foods business of which year 2012 turnover is about Eight Million naira. Though the business is registered as an enterprise (not a company), he uses his personal account for business transactions as he is yet to open an accountfor the business. Actually, the business name registration was done not too long ago.

Three weeks ago, he received a letter from FIRS to pay the sum of N75 Million being the accumulated tax covering a period that the business had not even been thought of. Mind you the letter was addressed to the actual business name which had just been registered. Now the man in charge of the tax office that sent the letter had persistently called my friend to come and 'settle the matter' with the sum of N60,000 like others did and there was no receipt issued whatsoever for the payment.

My Questions:
1. How is tax calculated for businesses that are registered as an enterprise? Please bear in mind that the books of account are largely informal where they exist at all. They had actually requested in the letter that statements of accounts and other records be brought for correct calculation of tax arrears
2. Are sales of fish and other frozen food items taxable? Don't they come nder basic food items or Agric items which are exempted according to your earlier post?

3. Is it wise to report this station manager to his superior for fraudulent conversion of remittances in the name of 'settlement'?
4. Generally, how doyou think the issue should be approached?

My friend had just received another letter stating that his business will be shutdown and the process of winding down would commence if a response is not received in 7 days!

Thanks bro.

Please I presently work for a small consulting firm and I have been with them for approx. 3 years now but the problem is although PAYE tax is deducted from my salary every month I have never received a tax clearance from the company within these years. When i querried the Accountant he said the reason why they don't apply for individual staff tax clearnace is because what is being deducted from our salary as PAYE is very little compared to the actual amount. Please i would like your assistance in knowing my actual PAYE from the detail below because i want to ask the company to start deducting the actual PAYE and get me my tax clearnce.

Basic salary: 36,000.00
Housing allowance: 30,000.00
Medical allowance: 24,000.00
Dressing allowance: 15,000.00
Training allowance: 15,000.00
Total 120,000

mikovo2002: I missed the test, I was not notified, it was after reading this information,I discovered that I was to write at Unilorin on 23/02/2013
What can I do?

asushei89: Hello guys,

I was wondering if anybody was at the last interview conducted by Zenith Bank in Abuja on saturday 23 February at Usuma street in Maitama. Some of us were called back to fill out the medical approval form on wednesday february 27. Please is there anyone in the house who filled out that form? And has such a person heard from them yet?

Walert: In the spirit of transparency,NIMC should send the results of the recently concluded tests to candidates.We all know it is a computer based apt test and it does not take time to mark.They should also determine the cut-off mark for each post for the interview.NRlanders,what do you think?

menipo: Hello guys,I just received an e-mail for an aptitude test with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) it is a federal govt agency. My question is does anyone in the house know anything about the office, like : salary, etc please help needed to know if its worth risking all the investment of spending money on flight from lagos to abuja and back.

Ngoziesq: Let's keep our fingers crossed and keep praying for the mercy of God on the things we penciled down in the test. Just be sure that if u scored 60% and above u'll be called for the 2nd stage interview. As corrupt as the Naija politicians are, their is still a regard for merit.

Nwogeh: Even u knows dt its not a problem its just dt u want 2b worried over nothing. Meanwhile I asked one of d officials about not submitting befor d 50mins exhausts and he authoritatively told me dt d system is programmed 2submit ur test immediately after it logs u out by itself...so go drink ur beer and pray...success ok

luvprince4real: Is there going to be a reschedule for pple dat missed d test?

Chikanwogu: Jesus haz given us dis jobs.amen

canayokafor: I have heard rumors concerning FIRS recruitment. I also saw a disclaimer on their website www.firs.gov.ng showing that they are not recruiting now. Please does anybody have any information from any reliable source as regards this, knowing fully well that FIRS hardly does open recruitment. Thanks.

baloafo: Appointment letters waiting for us to come pick. If u believe say Amen!

luvprince4real: Thank God for journey mercy to and from ilorin.. I wish u all success. For those of u who ar arguing, NIMC is directly under presidency, go and mk ur research.
