creativehubb: The person has probably lost touch with realities here. That's how they start and create big problems for others. I wonder how much he or she is even making online. 5 Likes 1 Share |

anu3: Pay in Naira at the prevailing CBN forex rate. As to the nature of tax payable I can only deduce personal income tax (PIT) for now. Unless further disclosures are made. The channel of payment will depend on the status of your residency. 1 Like |

The services(light, water, waste) you pay for here in Nigeria is enough tax. Don't know about you, but a certain amount of money is being deducted from my total pay before I'm being paid as a freelancer. Why should I pay tax again here in Nigeria. Same government that refused to provide youths with jobs and would've rendered us useless for life, but thanks to the internet. 7 Likes 1 Share |

anu3: It is not necessary pls. The freelance company already compute its tax. You also pay tax in different forms. You don't own a business. If you need a tax document for something, it is best to register a business. Clearly, your question should have been how to register a company. 1 Like |

BoldBrainz:If you want to travel abroad they will ask you for your tax certificate. So it's a must you pay it even as a freelancer. Calculate how much you made in a year declare it to tax board and they will tell you how much tax to pay usually around 15 to 20% of your annual income 2 Likes |

anu3: Understand what exactly when you are trying to create problems for others? You've gotten a TIN that you can easily give to your potential employer that wants to deduct withdrawal tax for the government, what else do you want? Why not just go to FIRS and petition them to start collecting tax from freelancers and even tell them how to go about it? 2 Likes |
Re: How Do Freelancers Pay Tax? by SimpleGuy001: 2:58pm On Dec 16, 2023 |
Hamachi: @ anu3 first of all, what are you registering for? Yourself as an enterprenuer or your business? If yourself, then it’s just PIT you are to pay to your state Internal Revenue Service. If your business (a limited company) then payment is to be made to the FIRS. If a sole propership or just a business name then remit your income tax, WHT to the state government. There are rules to this though. If your business is not making up to N25M annually as revenue, you are exempted from charging and remitting VAT, WHT and payment of CIT (although you are still required to file NIL CIT return with the FIRS as a limited company. You can DM me for more info. I can guide you for free, I work as a tax consultant with a Big 4 firm in Naija. 5 Likes |

anu3: Everyone pays tax, Chief. VAT Duties Transfer fees Etc. If you want to pay income tax to your state government and get tax ID number and certificate, then you go to the revenue office, fill some forms, declare your monthly income, and pay monthly or for the whole year.... This enables you get a tax record. 2 Likes |

Rilwayne001: Op already gave him the perfect response that he doesn't understand but for the benefit of others, what they don't know is that not paying taxes is a serious crime and those companies don't want to get into trouble, that's why they ask. They can be sued for tax fraud which will put them in jail so why will they waste their time being lawless. You can lose big gigs if you don't pay taxes. It pays to pay your taxes and show records. OP, Nairaland is not your answer, speak to a chartered accountant to help you. It does not cost much considering state boards may want to audit you and stress you. People calling Op stupid are the stupid ones because rather than focus their energies to the public servants who are 4kn dem up with their taxes, they bully fellow citizens. When you sabi say na your money govt de spend , u go wise up for election and governance. 3 Likes |

anu3: I am not sure all States have online payment option but I know few States in the Southwest with online payment option (Lagos and Ogun precisely). Not sure about others. You can make enquiry at your State's IRS. Best regards. I guess you stay at least 183 days in Nigeria in a year, so, I need not bother you with the residency rule as stated by one person above. 2 Likes |

anu3: There are many freelancers that are not paying taxes o and there is nothing wrong with that. If a client (presumably a US client) ask you for tax credentials then go get tax credentials from the USA. Nigerian tax ID is not known in the US. If the purpose of getting tax ID is because of religious fanaticism, my dear, nor use your belief take do wetin go make you and others regret their actions. Besides, I don't know where God threatened tax evaders with hell fire in the holy books. Please just enjoy your money in peace otherwise govt. will ruin your life in pieces. Busybody is not good. |

See who is talking about good English Well, I would say maybe it's possible, but it's not very easy. Maybe it's possible if you are good at general English and you like teaching. I remember trying to help some teachers that contacted me here, but they soon gave up which was okay. Cos I actually began trying back in 2017. After awhile, and so much waste of money and energy, I gave up and later returned when God just somehow link me up with a foreign school through another Nigerian just last year...[/quote] |

online4business: Don't worry bro... Do what pays you. But I promise it pays much better to do right—my experience for 13 years. Even if government chooses to do evil, it doesn't make them qualify to be my role models. And you know taxing is already on some major online platforms—I think they are the ones to make it well-known... In the end, each one will receive what they deserve: government or civilian... 4 Likes |
