How much of the money are they sending to the Federal Government? These ate private businesses and you can't

North and East are the problems of Nigeria.

One will not get educated, but choose to be a parasite.

The other is always feeling cheated and engaging in chest-beating.

Any policy coming from the Tinubu administration is wicked and evil

There's one thing about all these igbobedients that I don't understand

Anytime anyone from West or north complains of hunger or poverty they are quick to mock him with the line

"Shebi na una vote tinubu"..... meaning those people are suffering because they voted tinubu right?

These same people u will see them in another thread cursing yakubu for collecting money from tinubu to influence election

Like I don't understand

Is it that people truly voted tinubu or tinubu just paid yakubu to do the job?

Looking4Trouble:
They are not acting confused, the illiterates are confused. Parasites will starve to death.

Dem never know. These Parasites from the desert do not know whom they are playing the Political Chess with. They are playing with the god of Politics.

Even if no human nor spirit supports the Bills, we will pass them. As a Muslim, it is Haram to use VAT from Beer to sponsor Almajaris to Mecca for pilgrimage and also marry multiple wives for them. Let Northerners go and get Islamic approved money to marry many wives and go to Mecca

Parasites.
Core Northerners don't trust anyone who is not a core Northerner, especially Yoruba's, Christian Middle belters and Igbos . Yet, they don't want the country to disintegrate and be independent.

I blame the so called educated southerners who still believes that Nigeria can be better with this Aboki people.

I think the interview should have included an expert from the opponents of the bill to ask Mr Ayodele some critical questions bordering on their areas of concern or the interview organizers should have gotten list of questions from the opponents to ask Mr Ayodele so that the public can be properly informed about the tax reform issues,I have a very strong feeling that there are hidden but sticking points in this tax reform discourse that if not openly sincerely n adequately address might be the source of friction in the future.

free2ryhme:
Oyedele is trying to make tax reforms work for everyone.


But here’s the kicker: if these reforms get dropped in the National Assembly, reintroducing them will be a massive uphill battle. And honestly, the whole system needs this reform, especially with big players like MTN and Dangote paying VAT in their headquarter states, leaving others shortchanged.











There is one frustrated witch on the loose, and having devoured all the children of her coven members, she’s now seeking Nairalanders to unleash her frustrations upon.

Bigkoko:
In classification economic parasites like some people from SW are now calling Northern states, I think 70% of states in Nigeria are parasites then... For instances, Ekiti, osun, Oyo are all states that will fizzle out once allocation from Abuja stops.

Now, if proper tax reforms are made, the North will be the biggest beneficiaries as 90% of food items comes from there. if Asiwaju is sincere, he can add Agricultural tax bills too......Every grain, fruits or tuber that comes from the Nortth can be tax.... yes, Nigerians are already paying tax without knowing. I have first hand seen how much agriculture brings Netherlands in a year...more than what Oil & gas brings Nigeria in 3 years.

Those egunje truck drivers pay corrupt soldiers & policemen on the road before these foods are brought are tax collected unofficially.... These are also passed across to the consumers during price planning. If you want serious, dey serious. we all saw the foolishness of Buhari quest to build railway to Niger when all hook & crony of Nigeria are not already linked up. Where is Ameachi explaining the nonsense then? In the dustbin of history!

Make it official and see North become the richest region within five years! A tax reform that favors only your state or region is wickedness wrapped in a beautiful & attraction covers! Say No to Asiwaju tax reform without accompanying, and immediate Agricultural & Shipping reforms!

I am sure most Igbos will floc North in Agro ventures...

Umuinyioku:
Exactly.

The reforms must be carried out or they join their sahelian brethren to continue with their misrule and oppression.

Tinubu should not back down on these reforms.

From what I know of the bill, let me give you my own explanation.

VAT is tax paid on finished goods/services that reach the final consumer (e.g. turkey eventually consumed, hotel bills eventually settled, construction materials eventually used), it is based on 15% of retail price. Some add it to the price that final consumers are to see and so on. Final consumers then pay the retail price plus that tax.

Normally, this tax is to be remitted by the retailer. However, in Nigeria, because of some acute lack of organization in its part, it is even remitted by the manufacturers/distributors. And because of that, VAT is remitted by Lagos State (hq of the manufacturer) instead of in the various states in Nigeria and by the retailers.

FG wants to better organize the VAT taxing structure, and at that, wouldn't be collected by FIRS (FG tax collector), but by each state's IRS (each state's tax collectors) instead.

And further, rather than FG pooling the VAT tax revenue, and then sharing it to the states using the FAAC sharing formula, FG says the states having collected it by themselves would then take 85% of it and give the FG 15%. This is equitable, right. In almost all countries of the world, sales tax is the state's responsibility.

The North opposes it for these:
If your state's people are poor, and do not consume plenty things, or expensive items, or luxurious items, your state's VAT revenue would be low.
Also, if your state's tax collection is inefficient or sharia, no tax-bound, your state's VAT revenue would be low.

So, the North believes that their people consume poorly and their VAT would be low compared to if Lagos State or River state share its with them for example.
Also, they don't collect taxes, except maybe Kano, and even for little compared to other ever-tax-ready states of the South, so they believe their revenue would be low compared to if the inefficient VAT'ing system still sticks.


The FG continues to say that, no, eventually, there'd be benefits to those Northern states inasmuch as they encourage productivity and developments in their states, and in which increases incomes and increase consumption, hence high VAT revenue, but apparently, that seems like death sentence to some of those state's governor.


With the above, I hope I have been able to explain the tax reform bill, in the simplest way.


And PS: states like Ekiti state in South may also be badly affected by it, and that's the point, each state's government should also work on developments from the grassroot in order for them to reap high state revenues.

Sk5050:
Seems this bill will be a better one cos I have never seen the northerners so agitated in this manner since GEJ. You see alcohol as sin and you want to enjoy the proceeds generated from sin. Small small fowl yansh don dey open! Washing keenly as the drama unfolds lol

Factcheck0001:
