I am not a supporter of tilumbu but this tax reform sweet my belle

It would make state to sit up and do the needful. When a state is not working and unable to pay salaries, the citizens of the state would not use bad belle eyes to look at the federal government, instead they would grab the state governors by the jugular and demand answers. This would make only people with innovation and foresight to contest for elective positions as anyone bereft of ideas would be eliminated naturally from the race


Furthermore, governors would try to ensure that peace prevails in their states as the lip service paid towards insecurity would end as only peaceful states that are investor friendly would draw investment

In addition, states would specialise in commodities that they have comparative advantage in producing. Plateau , Taraba and adamawa would want to invest in power, food processing industries and cattle production. Zamfara in production of jewelleries. Rivers and delta in addition to oil may want to open their sea ports, the west in cocoa production and processing.

This bill is a master stroke kawaii!!!

e sweet you now because you feel it won't affect you all of us go dey here still hear unah complain when the bill add more shege

The fake bill

Cry well well

Publish details of the states for and against, not just a blanket spoiler slant, please.

Aile:
This bill have come to stay. No going back

Even when the whole nation protested against Tinubu’s policy, he locked some up and police shot some. Tinubu then came on television to say NO GOIN BACK ON REFORMS. Is it just about 500 National Assembly members and 36 governors that will now stop the JAGABAN? They are just joking, whether they like it or not, Tinubu will signed the four TAX Bills into LAW

Btw I'm a southerner

they will not understand, you could imagine living in the north is becoming very expensive how much more doing business if prices of things should increase again because of this policies. people don't understand that the impact is going to be felt all over the country most people that supported subsidy removal didn't know food would become very expensive. the last thing we need at this point is anything that makes life more difficult.

Vision101:
You want us to wait till eternity for a bill that the economy will leverage on? We must not generate income to run the economy. The tax bill blocks leakages and make collection economical.

You are among those who did not understand what the tax bill is all about.
How did it block leakages and make collection economical?
Well, take note, I am not one of those you people can use all those propaganda and vague promises on.

casualobserver:
Some of this states don’t seem to understand that they don’t have a choice. If for any reason this bill doesn’t pass. Lagos and Rivers will just continue their court case and keep 100% of their VAT.

Exactly. That’s the dilemma many governors are thinking of right now. And pretty sure the FG will influence the Supreme Court to support Lagos and Rivers as they don’t much anything to lose.

Dont mind them, all our nigerian politicans na so them b. but guys! Please would you check out my website at Lstechng.com and tell me what you think. It is a tech website that sells affordable and unique tech finds that would make your lives easier.

EXPRESSSMAN:
The people supporting this bill doesn't understand the implications.
1. If you make derivation the major basis for distribution of VAT proceed, then companies like MTN will be made to pay VAT in all States where their products are consumed. Just like other companies. This will amount to confusion that will affect businesses.
2. If you exempt people earning one million and below from paying income tax, then apart from Lagos, Rivers and other oil states, how many workers in those other states earn over a million.
3. It is the same thing with companies, how many of them in those other states earn a turnover of 50 million and above.
These are what the Northern states are saying. You want to suffocate them and you don't want them to complain.
4. Taxes, including custom duties that are collected by 62 bodies, you want it to be collected by one body so that it will be easy to introduce consultants to the process. How will all these work and benefits the people and other levels of government.
5. The Economic council and other bodies advised for more time and consultations to sort out these issues, you said no.
And some people are here supporting it thinking that it is a Northern problem.

I’ll try to enlighten you with some of these points you’ve raised.

1. Taiwo Oyedele and his team spent more than a year fine tuning these tax bills. The governors are only being mischievous saying they aren’t aware of its contents. They didnt get their way during the initial consultation phase and are trying to scuttle the process as a result.

2. Aggregating revenue collection into a single body is laudable. Whether or not consultants can be introduced into the process is a suspicion at this stage. Practically, consultants already work with most of these revenue generating agencies at the moment that I’m aware of and take a piece of the pie for doing nothing. Leaving the argument of consultants…the key challenge we’ve faced as a country is many agencies forget their primary goal is service delivery and not revenue. That is why you will see that the likes of NIMASA, Customs, etc all have very poor attitudes towards their customers (we the people). Putting revenue collection with the NRS / FIRS introduces a separation of concern that helps the entire ecosystem. It becomes harder to bribe for a reduced duty or side track the system is if the NRS is doing their job correctly they can audit the funds coming in vs what’s expected for each agency and spot leakages.

3. Regarding economic council feedback to pause the bills. The challenge with Nigeria is everybody likes to be a big man and be carried along with every single thing. What is the job of the National Assembly? They have public debates before passing bills and we’ve seen that used in the past. Why can’t a governor go there to air their views while it is televised on the TV. Any body who says they want to be consulted outside of the NASS is either waiting to be bribed or courted or just against the bill for their own selfish interest.

4. Corporate tax is an FG matter and doesn’t involve states. They way the FG is likely looking at it If you don’t tax SMBs below 50 million turnover, it could mean these businesses hire more people, which in turn translates to more PAYE going to the states and also VAT being generated. In the actual sense, the number of SMBs paying corporate taxes correctly in Nigeria is very little. There are a lot of businesses who do not pay corporation tax and it’s easy to not do so unlike PAYE and VAT so the FG is being smart imo to forgo this segment.

5. The issue of forgoing PAYE for min wage earners is a statistical thing. Again a way to think of it is putting more money into the hands of workers will drive more spending..they will buy food, clothes etc . Taxing this spending will be captured under VAT. Rather than tax at the source, you can tax the workers expense and create multiplier effects for the economy that way.


In summary, any body opposed to the bill should write their objections to the National Assembly and give Nigerians their alternative proposal in view of everyone. That is all.

Na illiteracy dey worry you. You are just repeating the song by your sponsor to stop this. Go back and watch oyedele's videos explaining this. Stop being a nuisance spreading lies. Illiterate allowed himself used. Na you go face the music later if these bills are not passed because that N10k you have collected will finish soon. Illiterate.

2. If you exempt people earning one million and below from paying income tax, then apart from Lagos, Rivers and other oil states, how many workers in those other states earn over a million.

Illiterate, stop spreading lies. It is not 1 million naira and blow not paying. Go check the facts well. Stop spreading lies. You are disgusting. Werey.

3. It is the same thing with companies, how many of them in those other states earn a turnover of 50 million and above.

The question is that how many companies are in other states where they don't have anything to offer businesses? These bills will make them start thinking how to attract investors. And if they cannot, let them merge with the states they are created from. They are not self sustainable and shouldn't be a state in tje first place. The main criterion to be a state is self sustainability, but they were created to take more. This should be corrected. Go school and learn, you won't go. Now, see your life. Illiterate.

These are what the Northern states are saying. You want to suffocate them and you don't want them to complain.

Your norther governors and people have been suffocating others for over 30 years, and others didn't die. Others are saying they can continue if the north will not bring to the table. Go and work and also bring to the table. This is equality.

4. Taxes, including custom duties that are collected by 62 bodies, you want it to be collected by one body so that it will be easy to introduce consultants to the process. How will all these work and benefits the people and other levels of government.

Name the 62 bodies and name the single body. This issue can be looked into.

E dey pain you. We have supported it. N70K to N100k will pay nothing again. Also, less than N50 mullilliin per annum turn over will pay nothing again. It is a win for the masses. Your papa sef fall into either of these category. Even you. So, what is your business? You keep saying government is bad and not for you....and here you are saying poor ppl including you must continue paying. Are you really OK? No. You are not because the small bribe you have taking to support these few animals is intoxicating you.

You are definitely sick. Guess what? These bills are gonna be passed.

You must be an illiterate then if you are a Southerner and you posted this. No two antelope are fighting here. Let the masses who are earning less not pay. Period. The rich will pay more. You have been paid a token to support them. You are just an illiterate.

If food prices rise in the south, let southerners use the extra money to find a way to start growing their own food.
Shikena. We believe the north should generate more revenue. If they decide to increase revenue by raising food prices, let the south find a cheaper alternative.

This is good. All na competition which will drive food proces down. When the north realizes that the southerners have discovered a way to reduce prices, no one will teach them how to do the same. Let them go eat their their food alone. Shikena. And if Southerners are too lazy to go to the farm, they should pay more. Shikena.

You as a young man in the south should tap into this. When you see that the north is not supplying you with food, produce more for the south. Is it not a win for you?

Lazy man. Heaven will not fall when these bills are passed. Instead of making a fuss, seize the opportunities that these bills create and build wealth for yourself.

Collect money from your sponsors telling you to oppose these bills, but do not post against them. Chop dem money but support the bills. Illiterate...use your head.

We have educated many in NL and many have seen the goodies in these bills. I took it upon myself to take on the manipulators here in NL, and we won. Now, you sounded disgusting. Lol. Read what you have posted again. Lol.

What impact will someone earning N70k to N100k feel other than relieve for not paying? What impact will a business earning less than N50million fail, other than relieve. And you are among either these two groups. Yet, you are blind folded.with 10k you have been paid. Werey.

Go work your ass in the north. If you think food prices increment will make you get more revenue...go ahead and do it. The southerners are not complaining presently. All they are saying is that you also bring to the table. Shikena.

Enough of your threats. Leave story. Let the prices increases first. Have they not been increasing since Buhari's time? What new again? Continue deceiving yourself.

These bills are done deals. Go meet with your governors to find ways to generate revenue for you. If you cannot survive, merge back with the states you were created from. Stop being parasites to other Nigerians. Go to work and help Nigeria increase its revenue. Are you not ashamed of your lazy ass? You are too lazy. Wake up. No more free food for you. Go and work. Bring us revenue also. Lazy people.

Haven't you read it here that almost everyone has been educated concerning these bills? Nobody is your illiterate comrade. And most people are not stupid enough to collect N10,000 from oppressors to oppose these bills.

Wherever you live and earn N70k to N100k, which I believe you do, you will not have to pay taxes. Is it only beneficial for residents of the states you have mentioned? If you own a small business with an annual turnover of less than N50 million, you wont pay tax. Are you too daft comprehen these? If you live in Borno, it applies to you too.

So, instead of relying on others to work for you and accepting free money, find a job or start your own business. That era has ended. Go and work lazy man. Allow your states to generate more revenue, and they will receive more than Lagos and the other states you have mentioned.

You are way too lazy. And we will treat your lazy ass right now. Go find work lazy man. Replace your governor with someone who can increase revenue in your state. If you like, you can take another N10,000 and install another dull brain as your next governor. Na you go still suffer am. Lazy ass.

The tax reform is good to a large extent but needs gray areas clarified and more discussions.

It should also go further to give higher percentages of revenue from resources extracted from states. This would make states explore and market thier natural resources and reduce the pressure of increasing taxes to fund any financial shortfalls by passing the tax burden to the masses. Since bat wants states to collect 60% of shared vats, then states should also collect 60% of the revenue from natural resources.

Also, removing vat on agricultural produce, while good, puts food basket states at a severe disadvantage and actually is counter productive in the long run as states would be less inclined to support agricultural practices since they cannot make much from it.

On the flip side, If well implemented, states with large populations but little revenue would take more interest in population planning to reduce pressure on scarce revenue.

I think time is due for Nigeria to move from "one size fits all" that stunts the growth of others. Yes let the mtn and other businesses decide whether they want to stay in every state or let other states come to the location of their chosen, it's a private business that had included policy change in their study. It's necessary to exempt certain income levels that are considered poverty level, you just can't tax everyone. This is why the northern states need to make their states safe, so big companies can come there. We all saw this coming, the price you pay for condoning insecurity. Why are 62 bodies collecting custom duty? It's corruption and needs to stop. Do we have 62 entries or border? Let all the border states get their custom duties since they suffer the consequences of the bad side of what comes in. If a chemical agent is brought through Lagos leaks and becomes life threatening, it's the people in that state that will go through that hell while other states go about their lives, thank God there are borders in other regions too and they can collect twice the amount. Fingers are not equal and that's why they function well together, this will help other states to take a look at themselves and decide what they want for their states especially when dropping a bomb on terrorists means dropping bombs on family homes, meaning they are working hand in hand. If the mighty America and the Britain could free the slaves, believe me, Nigeria will never remain the same. All the calculations of "my way of the highway" can't stand forever. Things will change and you need to move along.

there's no shega we haven't see... From 24k bag of rice to 100k we still Dy buy ... If u like increase it to 300k... We go must still buy am..so keep ur blablabla to urslf

You cannot even afford 100k talk more of 300k stop deceiving yourself. The truth is that BAT aspect should have been thought out carefully. You want to charge VAT in areas where it is generated, very good but you removed VAT on agricultural commodities. So if food is taken from the north to be used as feedstock in Agro allied industries in the south. The North gets no VAT, but the south earns VAT on the finished goods. There really is no equity in that.

States should therefore control resources in their domain.

LET'S SET RECORDS STRAIGHT

Out of the total of 360 House of Reps members, the entire South has 169, while the North has 191.
Here is the breakdown:

South East
Imo 10 Reps
Abia 8 Reps
Ebonyi 6 Reps
Anambra 11 Reps
Enugu 8 Reps Total= 43.

South South
Akwa Ibom 10 Reps
Bayelsa 5 Reps
Cross River 8 Reps
Delta 10 Reps
Edo 9 Reps
Rivers 13 Reps Total= 55 Reps.

SOUTHEAST & SOUTHSOUTH GRAND TOTAL =98 only.

South West
Ekiti 6 Reps
Lagos 24 Reps
Ogun 9 Reps
Ondo 9 Reps
Oyo 14 Reps
Osun 9 Reps Total = 71 Reps.

North West
Kano 24 Reps
Kaduna 16 Reps
Jigawa 11 Reps

Sokoto 11 Reps
Zamfara 7 Reps Total = 92 Reps.

North East
Adamawa 8 Reps
Bauchi 12 Reps
Borno 10 reps
Gombe 6 Reps
Taraba 6 Reps
Yobe 6 Reps Total = 48 Reps.

North Central
Benue 11 Reps
Kogi 9 Reps
Kwara 6 Reps
Nassarawa 5 Reps
Plateau 8 Reps
Niger 10 Reps Total = 49 Reps.

FCT 2 Reps.

GRAND TOTAL OF THE NORTH =191
The question is, how dare you upstage this people in a vote?
Even if Southeast, South-south and Southwest joined together cannot upstage the North.

More facts coming...

INJUSTICE OF OIL ALLOCATION IN NIGERIA (1)

North Central receives 20%;
CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.
North East receives 16%;
CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.
North West receives 21%;
CONTRIBUTES 0.00%.
Every month, the 19 Northern states receive a minimum of 57% of 100% of oil revenue to which they CONTRIBUTE 0.00%.

South West receives 16%;
CONTRIBUTES 3.97%.

South East receives 11.00%;
CONTRIBUTES 25.07%.

South South receives 15.00%;
CONTRIBUTES 70.64%.

More facts...
LGAs in NIGERIA:
Nigeria has 774 LGAs.
The North has 19 states, and the 19 states have 419 LGAs.

The South has 17 states, and the 17 states have 357 LGAs.

Working with the data from the office of the Accountant General as published by the Ministry of Finance (2013 April), the 357 LGAs of the 17 southern states receive 45.1% of what they contribute is 100%.

The 419 LGAs of the 19 Northern states receive 54.9% of what they contribute is 0.00%.
So those hoping for a hopeless hope for restructuring should wake up. The north will Never allow restructuring because they know that they can't survive in a level playing ground.
Let me stop here for now .....alot on my mind.

Now you see that the north is seriously draining and stifling the development of the south?

One Nigeria is the biggest fraud ever.

What the people of Nigeria need is a referendum to end this evil contraption.

We CAN NOT be silent about it. He that is silent in the days of the adversity of the oppressed, is more guilty and has taken the side of the oppressor.

edungene7:
Tinubu is too arrogant enough consultation should be made before passing this bill, the rubber stamp Akpabio has already allowed it to pass second reading. The insecurity in the North is only a product of poverty by the time this bill scales through and the North slides further into poverty the insecurity would start shifting to the south. Presently the economy s in shambles let the Emilokan economic team bail Nigeria or resign for more component hands.

He should have spent a year consulting?
Even if the bill spent a decade moving from one region to the other in deliberations ..certain regions will still denounce it. This Bill will force federating units like States to develop themselves.. something most Northern states are allergic in doing. Years of depending on the lopsided arrangement has made them totally weak and useless..no development no major infrastructure to generate IGR. you'll be hearing states like Yobe generatmg 300mil in IGR but collecting 100bn from FAAC just because the FG wants to carry everyone along.
It's that carriage that needs to stop.
You encourage BK to ravage your lands cos they are your kith and kin. Now banditry has entered the mix making your once productive farmlands almost barren.. who's fault is that?
Another region is toeing the same path.. in their quest for freedom, you arm your people against the State..they kill soldiers and police you cheered ..now those same guns have turned against you.. keeping you hostage and driving down investment within your region, turning the inhabitants to economic migrants.who is to blame?
Another region is blessed with fossil fuel, but used militants to kidnap workers and sabotage their investments all in the name of resource control. Some of their towns and cities are shadows of themselves..forcing the OIC to move to safer regions..who is to blame?
I support this Bill.
Everyone will sit up and get sense by force by fyre

Comrade remove Kano from the list. People will not pay VAT on basic needs such as food, and even baby products. Only luxury products like alcoholic drinks and gambling will people pay VAT on, and last time I checked Kano Hisbah were going around destroying alcoholic drinks and clamping down on betting businesses. Now tell me how will they benefit?
That is why they are crying forgetting the saying" who must come with equity must come with clean hands" .
They don't want their citizens to drink alcohol but want to share money gotten by other states from consuming alcohol is that not haram?

Do you have a company with over N50 million turnover? Or are you earning more than 500k per month? Which one. Tell us. Lol.

If you fall into either of the two categories above and you swear that you have not collected any money...bro...you are a confirmed illiterate.

So which do you want to dignify yourself with. An illiterate or a glutton and betrayal? This is why we are asking you how much you are paid? N10k? We can refund you bro so you can have your brain back and think well.

We can know who is able to feed himself and the hungry and the greedy ones. This offer won't last long. How much were you paid so we can refund you?

Exactly. That’s the dilemma many governors are thinking of right now. And pretty sure the FG will influence the Supreme Court to support Lagos and Rivers as they don’t much anything to lose.

And you think it is right influencing judiciary that is suppose to be independent. This is the corruption we are talking of.
