I just calculated my tax now and must say I'm impressed by what I saw....but there's a challenge.

What do I get from the government in return for the tax I pay?

I dug my own borehole and lay my own water pipes. I paid for my own healthcare and education. There's no more subsidy according to the government themselves.

The electrification of my house now cost over 3x what it used to and with that, I needed to have backup from my own pocket.

Security is almost nonexistent in my village.

So what exactly am I paying tax for?

Just a reminder..... There's no country that has ever taxed it way to prosperity. Taxation is not the ideal way to raise money for innovative governments. Only slave drivers think taxation as a vehicle for prosperity.
Well said. Policies that would help increase the income of tax payers should be of paramount importance to any government. Insecurity has adversely affected many local businesses that depend on agricultural produce as raw materials, thereby leading to folding up, relocation or staff rationalization. While the elite politicians make untaxable wealth from this continued insecurity, the surviving businessmen bear the brunt.
The list is endless. Road projects are awarded at stupendously alarming contract sums without much to show for it. No more due process, no more competitive bidding, no transparent bidding process. It's all about rewarding political friends, or siphoning tax payers money through these elephant projects. How many legislators have been arrested for budget padding to the tune of billions of naira through ridiculous insertions.
Some of these insertions are too ridiculous and disgraceful to even mention. Who pay for it, the same tax payer. Accountability is at the lowest ebb as it stands now.

The Taxmaster cheesy

Why are NIGERIANS paying excessive tax when they couldn't even enjoy proper social amenities?

Electricity is zero, roads still bad, no proper waste management in most cities, few government estates, education is history, Agriculture is a shadow of itself. Zero innovation, Security is ZERO. No jobs for graduates, our money is now dust compared to other African countries.

SHAME ON APC POLITICIANS FOR REAL.
Why you dey generalize things??

No need for calculator the tax is punitive, it punishes all those earning incomes who are not members of the Klepto clique.

Instead of promoting industry they re promoting welfare and socialism.

Socialism wrecks nations and economies.

We warned, he is Tax collector. The real agbowoode described in Jews era. Ask yourself what are taxes used for, I live in Lagos, I don't have public water, roads not good, realised on inverters, police vehicles must be filled by complainants. grin grin grin grin
Why dont you go back to Anambra that Obi built where Obi never collected tax and where you have uninterrupted water supply with good road and electricity or do you just like to suffer in Lagos?
Re: Tinubu Unveils Tax Calculator To Show Impact On Incomes by Streetinvestor2: 12:06pm On Aug 22, 2025
I like the idea of the tax in 2026
The hunger and poverty he has created in just 2 yrs is not enough
You see by 2027 election it will be a revolution by Nigerians against him.All he is always thinking is how to generate more money to loot. The anger will be massive by 2027.
What is the benefits of the subsidy to Nigerians as it has generate more money for him and his gang of thieves to loot only.
subsidy removal was supposed to be a good thing if the implementation was surrounded by the corruption of SW president.
They are only using it to bloat contract figures by his gang like wike and minister of works

Tinubu is collecting tax from every taxable adults. Then position Yorubas to be eating the money alone.

My post wasn't comparing Tinubu to Buhari.

Well, I'm not complaining. To the glory of God, I have no reason to complain.

I don't know about you though?
Re: Tinubu Unveils Tax Calculator To Show Impact On Incomes by OfficialAPCNig: 6:01pm On Aug 22, 2025
According to this foolish calculator, my tax is 3.5 million. Tinubu and his misguided followers won't see one Naira.

I work four jobs remotely with four AI and tech companies. Wake up early Monday to Friday to meet up with team meetings due to time difference. And our Yoruba brothers think I'll hand in my hard work to them in the name of taxes to develop their region.

Keep playing.

How much tax have you paid in the last 6 months. Pls respond with proof. Thank you 🙏


Because y’all come here to shout tax master as if you didn’t hear that the tax reform will benefit low income earners more.
It would benefits the low income earner...u don't know what u are saying ?

That is what u heard.
U guys are always happy to see the rich taxed,u all don't know the implications. Stop supporting evil.

I did taxation in the University up to my penultimate
year,but I pity most of u who don't like to read vast but to come and tell us what others are saying.

Now,that the govt is about taxing the rich,the burden of the taxation would be on the poor. Listen man,if u tax Dangote,Nestle pls,The Otedolas,the Athur Eze of this world,they will get back their money through the sales of their products.

That is by next year,expects prices of goods and services to go up. This means that the low income earners would suffer invisible tax burden through price increment.

That is hidden tricks in tax and taxation.

This will be a never ending cycle of who to take the first action🤣😂

I believe leaders should lead by example and fix the country before taxing citizen. This is the only way it will work✅

They should use those Trillions they are swallowing year in year out to fix the country, if anyone evade tax after it, they can take proper legal action.

When Tinubu drinks, eat and sleeps, he is always thinking of how to dip his filthy hands into the pockets of the common Nigerians in the guise of taking Taking taxes and levies.
