Fiscus105:
I doubt if you know, these guys cashing out in dollar, and that, your own local currency is next to nothing?
#36M = $23k

He shouldn't complain since our local currency is next to nothing

Skodiswayze:
Maybe he should pay 200 million then, since he makes 20m monthly, how much has the Lagos state Government invested in him cos I clearly see you don’t know how tax collection works, let me school you.
He is supposed to pay 24% of his gross income? So if he makes 40 million in a year, his tax must not be more than #4.6million kiss that fact

Go and educate yourself on how PIT is computed and stop quoting me ignorantly.

omoredia:
They do not have the moral standing to demand taxes cos they are theives. They want to eat from where they didn't sow. All the taxes we have been paying what have they done with it? Bunch of crooks

After crying, you will still be a customer of the NRS where you will smell pepper. Nobody send your tears.

Kastonkastroll:
Is like these tiktok people are cashing out from that app if not how will the government tax this boy so much. Of course I know tiktok pays some of them just like YouTube and Facebook, but I never knew the tiktok people cash out this big.

Somebody raking almost a billion per year

TOPCRUISE:
Someone that did not go to school will never understand the reason for tax. To such a person it is extortion.
They charge him according to his boastful mouth

He aint educated, he tinks tax is only wen govt support u to make money

Tallesty1:
Peller did not complete his education due to poverty, which in Nigeria is the product of decades-long governance inefficiencies, inequitable wealth distribution, and the absence of affordable, quality education.

Government investment in citizen capacity-building during Peller’s formative years was non-existent.
As with millions of Nigerians facing this systemic disadvantage, Peller struggled for survival until, through self-driven initiatives, he achieved economic success.

And boom! The vulturous Lagos State Government has issued a tax demand in millions.

This is a standard operational pattern:

1. Provide no structural support at the foundational stage.

2. Apply maximum fiscal extraction at the success stage.

This is why, when Human Development Index (HDI) is raised, they quickly deflect to Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) — because HDI measures accountability, and accountability exposes failure.

no dey cap nonsense… pay ur tax…

God bless you. This is the comment I've been waiting for .
He's as loud as the size of his mouth

Olalekanbanky1:
Na u use ur running tap mouth to tell the whole world how much u make.

I never like abusing people but after seeing your comment, it felt like there should be an exception. People wey create tax system no go school, go and research, people working in tax office no be people with BSC/HND or M.sc in Taxation. You wey you go school. How much in tax have you paid this year?

I watched a YouTube video where those skit-makers said in PLAIN TRUTH that they won't disclose the amount they earn monthly

so let him dance skelewu to the music

NaijaGoBetter2:
When you calmed you earn certain amount online either na real or lie you must be ready to pay tax.
Many of them go claim they earn 100m monthly but when tax officer knock at their door dem go de cry for social media

essentialone1:
The reason why a lot of rich Nigerians prefer to live in Nigeria than relocating abroad is because they want to avoid paying Tax.

Oga what most guys are doing now, is that they live here but save abroad money abroad. This will get worse from next year when the new tax laws comes into effect in which case the tax office can access your bank accounts. What basically happens is that major money that you see, you transfer to your foreign accounts, when you need money you transfer in bits back to naija. I believe those that know about crypro will also bank money in it.

When it come to tax they compare Nigeria with western world. But when it come to other things like salary and standard of life they talk another thing.

No body supported you and you bring even at the comfort of your home next thing is tax

aribisala0:
See stop hiding behind anonymity to be rude

Go around calling names because you have a different opinion

The state and everything inside it belongs to the state. People fail to understand the nature of a state and think they have some individual importance

It is a privilege to be allowed to make one Naira inside Nigeria
Government can force people to join the army to go and fight Boko Haram
Those people dying there now don't they have families?

Government can say they are taking 90% on any money you make?
Government can say when a person dies they are inheriting 90% of his property
They already do so around the world Google countries with highest inheritance tax

Yes government can extort citizens
That is the nature of a state

This week out of Nowhere Trump told Nvidia
I will lift the ban on sale us chips to China if you gives us 15%
Just like that
Out of Nowhere

Government does exactly what Agberos do they just package it nicely

But observation of Agberos helps to understand the real nature of government
Which is owo mi da?
And if you don't pay you feel pain

I am not saying it is good or bad

It is reality

Wake up

You can only extort those you provide jobs for. You only a striving economy and not a struggling individual. Under democracy, the government has no power to force anyone into military.

You will learn not to flaunt wealth on social media again. Tii isu eni ba ta, anfowo bojeni

Exactly, he should have lay low. His mouth has put him in trouble.

COMPAQ:
What school did Peller go to. He probably went to school free in theis Lagos. Quality might not have been good, but without it, he might not be where he is today. he'd probably be washing windscreen in go slow.

You guys who went to dirt cheap University and were born in dirt cheap general hospital should go easy in saying what has government done for you.

You can not be projecting your life and how poorly raised you were on others. Your parents couldn’t send you to decent schools doesn’t mean it’s the same for others. If you’ve heard peller speak without using his trademark accent/intonation, then you would know he didn’t go to public school like yourself.

He came to limelight last year and he’s already been taxed 36 millions for his intellectual properties and yet you support it. You must be someone sent from the pit of hell.

The tax law is good. Many tribalistic voters will begin to use their head to vote when they understand that the kind of person they vote for can steal from their purse by diverting their hard earned money paid as tax. Peller must be one of those that voted tinubu through tribalism. Let him feel the heat. Most fulanis, Hausa and yoruba vote irresponsibility based on tribal and religious interest and not based on the desire to see the country ruled by the best non thieving politician. So when I saw the tax law, I was happy because I knew it will bring the lesson home. Only south South people bear the responsibility of feeding this nation since 1960, but with the new tax law, the big men that are targeted for taxing go wiseup

Well, i would say he deserves it. When he was pulling stunts up and Dan, why je he not draw the attention of the government...dey should knack him better tax o jare.

If you dey wait for Seun to pay you, you go grow Moses. As for Peller, his embarassment of job seekers contributed to this.[quote author=Kastonkastroll post=136438336]Is like these tiktok people are cashing out from that app if not how will the government tax this boy so much.

Jealousy wan pkai you. Nobody sends you go school. He didn't rate graduates, that's his cup of tea and doesn't call for an unfair treatment.

Look at you, typing like your keyboard is allergic to sense. Don’t worry, one day wisdom will visit you — just hope it stays longer than your common sense did.

Whether he went to school or not. When you make money by any means, you must pay TAX!
Even if you win N1bln via the lottery as an illiterate, you must pay TAX!!
You pay tax on your annual income. Low income, low tax, high income, high tax! Coming into limelight recently is irrelevant.
The avrage tax rate is about 20%, if he made N180mln gross last year, then he'd pay N36mln tax. N180mln is $116k. Wih all his plenty trending videos, particulalry the nonsense he's doing with that robot girl, he could have made that from Tik Tok and other apps.
All the police these celebrities carry about, is it not tax thats used to maintain them? Then the police that should be for me and you, Peller will carry them, but he's not paying tax??

Pay the tax first! then if you dont see what its used for, you have a right to challenge the government.

If they call you out now for anti government protest, you will stay home watching netflix on your phone!

You are expected to pay tax in your income.

He was assessed based on what he claimed to make per show

How did you miss my whole point?
