I disagree with you with passion sir please explain to us which of those taxes are you not paying without cutting any Conner, which is impossible to cut illegal conners as a UK resident .
The question should be how did the government utilize the little taxis this citizens pay? The brother as a point in regards to double taxation.
I will use myself.as an example.

Bros that generator is believed to 5.5 kva, our people make them write anything and brand on them. 7 years ago my friend call the manufacturer from US in China to make inquiries about that brand Sumac or sumic. They told us it was only one guy that import those generator to Nigeria then, the give him the guy Company name, phone, and offices address in Ikeja. He is surprise we get his information from China. I went to the guy office in Ikeja, he gives me little discount because we call the manufacture. I bought two of those generator, another friend bought 1 from him, it works well. it’s carry (1) 1.5 hp Ac (1hp Ac) refrigerator, water pump, and about 20 bulbs or so. Anything after that if field overload from the sound when running. It’s runs for 7 hours straight, stop let it rise for 3-5 hours then run it again. To have long lifespan from the generator it works for 4 years, before star have a problem. I just give it out. Note, not running like that for 4 years oo , some times. I may not need it for weeks. Another important thing people don’t pay attention to is Fuel consumed per hour, it is very very important when buying generator. I know many Nigerians don’t care about that because fuel is very cheap. It’s just like a car, if buy new car, you burn less gas per mileage than those good for nothing old Jeeps or truck as we call them. Do your research buy wisely.

Sir,
I am marveled with the lecturing about a piece of equipment I own.lol..I did offer to measure output voltage/wattage to prove...even though it would take time to get there you won't let me do it first but you have made complete assumptions based on your experience. Haha

Anyone can order products and stipulate specifications they want,to any market place like alibaba or aliexpress either through RFQS OR direct production order. This is not new making manufacturers make savings for cheaper pricing for countries with low standard organizations.no one checks ...you pay they blink....

Sir,
Compliance is important ROHS,CE,EEE,FCC...I did mention that stores like ALBERTINA Will/Would not sell Chinese knock-offs as original.[DO YOUR DILIGENCE CONTROL]..they probably sell those Chinese ones based on their price tags..they still have the reputation last checked...I dont hold brief for them..

Do you know why computer ..Intel celeron is cheaper than core i or pentium etc...

What tax do you pay in Nigeria

erico2k2 this is not all the tax you pay in the UK o. Unless you dey dodge tax or you are not aware of the taxes you pay due to the cleaver (ease) way taxation is collected in a sane clime. Make I help you with a few taxes you are suppose to pay or paying but you don't know:

ROAD TAX for car users. Maybe you don't own a car.

CONGESTION CHARGE to drive to Central London. So you don't drive to central London

Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) Charge (London). So your car passed ULEZ.

TV LICENCE. So you don't own or watch TV in any device.

FUEL DUTY is included in the price you pay for petrol, diesel and other fuels used in vehicles and HEATING.

AIR PASSENGER DUTY (APD) for every passenger who flies from the UK. Ticket prices usually include a charge to cover this cost. So you don't fly to Nigeria at least.

INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX (IPT) is usually included in the price you pay for almost all insurance. The rate is 12% on most types of insurance including car, pet and home insurance. Travel insurance is even higher at 20%.

Mind you, one pays the above taxes together with VAT which is separate. These are just some of the taxes I can remember at a flash. There are more.

I don't know what you mean when you say Nigeria has a wider tax base than the UK and the USA. This is fantastically incorrect. Maybe you mean illegal taxation like police check points, community youths, area boys, rampant civil service corruption, etc.

Bro sometimes we have to be objective, u do you live in the UK right ? I would like to think you dont drive cos if you did you will know newer cars do not pay Ulez fees. and road tax exempt
I dnt pay Road tax for my car as its Exempt its a newer BMW
I don't pay for Ultra Low emission zone as my car is newer its less than 4 years old Diesel
I do not have to pay Congestion charge cos I will be mad to drive to central London where there is no parking, I use the underground for such
Air travels is universal its got nothing to do with living in the UK or Nigeria
Fuel duty is tied to cars its irrelevant to whether one lives in the Uk or Nigeria
I think you need to read more on Insurance. The premium is what you pay to the insurance company end of where you are coming up with %%% I seriously have no clue care to xplain more? by the way Insurance is irrelevant as I pay same for my car in Nigeria and its not a form of tax rather its classed as Bills, you are mixing Bills with Tax cos if I don't drive or own a house I don't have to insure anything.
However in Nigeria what should be labelled Bills are taxes
Nigeria practice Multiple taxation. You pay more and getting nxt to nothing in return
You pay road tax in Nigeria in the form of vehicle licencing
MOT which is never checked
VAT is just day light robbery as you are charged SMS fees and you pay VAT for it
you are charged when you transfer money and you pay VAT on it
Over charged for phone calls cos the taxes and Vat is way above ours in the UK
Police will tax you look I can go on n on if you want as you can see my three Taxes in the Uk stands TV licence is not Tax cos one can live in an all inclusive apartment. and certain people are exempt.

You don't pay road tax because for bought your car brand new? Really? So road tax is for the poor people of the UK then who are unfortunate to by second hand cars. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) - also known as road tax, car tax, or the road fund licence - can be a confusing topic to understand.

If you're buying a new car, you will pay road tax based on the latest system that was introduced on 1 April 2017, and most recently adjusted for April 2022 onwards. If you are buying a used car that was registered before April 2017, then the rate you pay will be based on the system that applied at the time of registration, even if the car is still in production.
https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-exempt-from-vehicle-tax

You better call DVLA (Licencing authority) now to send you your road tax invoice or one day you go wake up them don clamp your car. If you bought a brand new car, you may not pay road tax for one year that is because the car company has paid it for you as part of their sales gimmick not that new car owners don't pay road tax. Where is that done? We the poor people that can't afford new car for done halla. After one year, you carry your kaya and start paying road tax by yourself.

The discussion is about Nigeria tax base as it applies to the housing sector and you said Nigeria has a broader tax base than the UK. This is screamingly so inaccurate. Let's leave road tax, petrol tax and the rest and focus the discussion on the housing sector.

Does Nigeria operate and implement the below listed:

CAPITAL (PROPERTY) GAIN TAX - for the home base, Property gain tax is simply if you sell a property that is not your main residence and make a profit, you will pay tax on the profit and you will pay income tax and you will pay VAT. Nigeria know weather you sell property? not to talk of collecting gain tax.
https://www.gov.uk/capital-gains-tax/rates#:~:text=28%25%20on%20your%20gains%20from,gains%20from%20other%20chargeable%20assets

INHERITANCE TAX - again for the home base, here in the UK, if you inherit a property from your parents that is above a certain amount, you will pay inheritance tax. This tax is so huge that some kids will sell the property in order to pay the inheritance tax. Some children to avoid the tax will sell the property while the parent is alive and put the parent in a care home and use the money to pay for care. It is that serious. Nigeria get inheritance tax. Not that I know of.
https://www.gov.uk/inheritance-tax

STAMP DUTY LAND TAX - You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England and Northern Ireland. For the home base, you pay the tax when you:

#buy a freehold property

#buy a new or existing leasehold

#buy a property through a shared ownership scheme

#are transferred land or property in exchange for payment, for example you take on a mortgage or buy a share in a house.
https://www.gov.uk/stamp-duty-land-tax

I'm not sure you understand or grasp the extensive tax regime system in the UK. So you think the UK is about the 5th biggest economy in the world partly only form income tax collection and VAT? I shake my head in Urhobo.

Any which way you turn in the UK, you pay tax if not directly then indirectly.

Akerewe:


Exactly what happened to me recently ooo. I paid one useless welder to buy me a 12mm rod for 5feet foundation pillars, believe me he actually bought a rod with 12mm inscription on it but after casting of the pillars am not pleased with the look of the iron Rod nd I went to that site with a caliper nd discovered that that iron is 10mm nd 12mm is written on it. Thanks to God I didn't give him the whole iron to buy for the whole beam and the long pillars. I later found out that is how they make their abnormal profits. Real 12mm is actually available, when they get to the store they demands for that to make more money. Hence forth till eternity I will buy all my iron rod myself nd always check them with a caliper b4 payment

Good day engineers in the house,
Pls i need professional insight as to know if I can extend or continue a building pillars with 16mm iron ROD having 12mm in the foundation after the initial error on the 12mm thickness as stated in the above write up.

Thanks in anticipation of your earliest professional response
