While this seem like a good development, I have issue with how the tax collected would be spent.

Best news so far in 2022.

The FG is finally going after the foreign profiteers getting rich off Nigerians without paying taxes on goods sold in Nigeria.

We've lost trillions in uncollected revenue, but better late than never.
It's Nigerians that would pay the tax not Amazon or AliExpress. I already got a random email from AliExpress today talking about reduced earning percentages because I dropship from there

Amazon just need to add the tax fee on every product shipping to Nigeria. Case close

[quote author= post=109112637]As long as it benefits the lives of Nigerian masses and won't go into the pockets of the politicians, way to go.[/quote]Explain how it will benefit the lives of Nigerian masses?

How will the proposed taxes not go into the pockets of buhari and his crew?

All the taxes that buhari/osinbajo have been using to strangle Nigerians, how have the taxes "benefited the lives of Nigerian masses"?

You are a big man o! Doing dropshipping on Amazon. What niche are you into if you don't mind?

Amazon is idiotic!
You sell to Nigerians, but you don't admit Nigerians into your affiliate programs.

Which uncollected revenue in trillions has Nigeria lost? If the revenues were collected, how will it have improved living standards of Nigerians?

Do u think FG is taxing the companies or it is taxing Nigerians?

Let's use tax to kill them and see those that will survive.

Lol they companies always pass the cost to the end user. Expect new fees at the end of your transactions. Smile knowing you're funding the government.

Osibanjo2023, pls let me no. Is this a good policy? How will it improve the lives of Nigerians? Is osinbajo not party to this taxes, another round of taxes on the income of Nigerians? What have Nigerians benefitting from all these taxes being imposed by the buhari/osinbajo govt?

Absolutely the right thing to do. However as noted by others, these companies will just add the 6% VAT on top of product price and remit to govt. It even gives them some stream of income as they will likely keep and trade with the VAT money collected and only remit by year end.

As Non Resident Companies not registered in Nigeria, unfortunately they can't pay company income tax. However this is still a good step. Next is to encourage them to register and open offices in Nigeria and expose them to the potential of our large population. If only FG can see the win-win in this and do all it can to make it happen.

All the one that the country has been earning, what has it done with it? Has it positively impacted Nigerian lives?

What will the impact of this tax be on the income of Nigerians who use these platforms? Is it the platforms that will pay the taxes or is it the already over taxed Nigerians who will pay the taxes?

What will be the consequence of such taxation on the prices goods bought from Amazon but that will be sold in Nigerian market?

You say it is a good step. How is it a good step? Why should they register and open offices in Nigeria? Of what benefit is it to them?

Which Amazon or which AliExpress.

All they are doing is increasing the cost of transaction of Nigerians. These companies will just add a 6% NGA Tax on transactions originating from Nigeria at checkout.
Collate the sum and give NG Govt.
It's not coming from their profit.
If they do, we'll know because we can always compare with other countries.

Significantly increase their market share in the supply chain logistics business in Nigeria that allows them reach many more customers. Our population provides that opportunity for them. Except of course they don't see Africa and Nigeria in particular as a useful market.

This population theory has been debunked a long time grin

That a country has a huge population doesn't make them attractive for investment. That's old school Economics nau grin

Nigeria has the lowest tax to GDP ratio in Africa at 6%. We complain we don't earn enough revenue to fund our budgets hence resort to borrowing. Well, this is one of many ways to increase our revenue. Spending it right is a different issue. We won't because of that refuse to collect revenue

Debunked by who? Are you saying we don't have the population? We have the biggest GDP in Africa, how do you think that came about?
