Breaking: School Owners In Abuja Groan As Tinubu Imposes 5% Tax On Each Student by savenaijatoday: 6:07pm On Apr 30 |
FCT’s 5% tax on private schools will kill business – School owners The imposition of 5 per cent annual tax on private schools in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) would be injurious to business and drive the school owners out of business. The submission was made on Saturday in Abuja by the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), reiterating its immediate reaction when the measure was announced in January. The Department of Quality Assurance of FCT’s Education Secretariat announced the measure in January after which the association pleaded with FCT minister, Mr Nyesom Wike to intervene and reverse the measure. In the tax regime, each school would be charged according to the level of tuition fees paid by pupils and students as well as the number of children on its register. Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), FCT Chairperson of NAPPS, Mrs Rukayat Agboola, said the Education Secretariat had refused to respond to its rejection of the measure. “We made our dissatisfaction over the policy known even as we were not told about the tax in writing. “The secretariat thereafter sent a circular that its next line of action was to revert to the old dues. Some of us even owed debts on the old dues and we were advised to start clearing them. “The secretariat did not say anything again on the 5 per cent tax; it has kept quiet on it and we also have kept quiet,’’ she said. Agboola expressed dissatisfaction at the turn of events and argued that rather than the new tax imposition, the school owners ought to enjoy government grants to assist in the training of indigent students who desired education. “Schools in rural areas where there is no government presence should enjoy the grant the more. But for those schools, children in the suburbs would not be exposed to Western education. “The tax will also create additional burden on parents and on school owners.

This is wickedness. It's not like the tax will be used to improve the condition of living of the masses and build infrastructure. The taxes will be embezzled by this same satanic government called APC. This wicked man whom they claimed built Lagos is trying to use the same wicked template to govern Nigeria. 10 Likes |

Tinubu the tax master need to tax Nigerians more to raise enough trillions he and his cronies can steal through white elephant projects like coastal highway to Gabon, Ghana, Togo, Cotonou and to all the 36 states in Nigeria. We must connect every LGA in Nigeria to Lagos via coastal highway, thank God Umahi is a world class hinjineer Your crude oil money and other revenues are not enough for Tinubu to steal, he needs more money in federal government hands to have enough to loot like he loots Lagos state. |

Normally, schools are exempted from paying taxes. However, when you have schools like AIS Abuja charging tuition in dollars or Charter House Lekki charging 42million naira per child for a session......they ought to pay tax. That's luxury not necessity. |
