Protest Will Arise If Personal Income Tax Is Implemented by fineboynl(op):
Most people are nor bothered because they don’t understand it. 800k a year as benchmark is just 500$ which can barely buy a big deep freezer or a modern smart tv.

800k isn’t even enough for a single person nor to talk of family people. The government have lost touch with reality. To rent a room selfcon total package is heading for 1m.

And you are talking about 20% tax that’s insane and insensitive. There haven’t been massive protests in this administration that why they keep having the moral to be making harsh policy. The income tax will be the last straw if they start it implemention. It's outright stealing from the people without benefing anything from the government and it will worse inflation.

Truly Nigerians are missing buhari. Even at that what is so big about 800k that should be a benchmark. Is that amount enough to sustain a single person in one year?

Even a child in kindergarten 800k is not enough if you include school expenses. 800k is over 2k per day.

So you don't want people to live indecent apartment. They must live in squalor? Isn't it in big cities there are jobs or are you blind to the many businesses that have closed since 2023 to date?
You lack empathy for your fellow man.

I bought my Freezer at £150 which is about $200. However, that is like one day wage for casual workers. But stop saying what you don’t know.


Bear in mind however that if you troop to the streets, you will meet security forces on standby, JAGABAN will never bow, he is not Jonathan that we scared for 6 consecutive years and finally kicked out

There is no problem if you insist protest must take place only that you, your children, your wife and siblings with more five of your family members must lead the protest. You will wear Aso Evil for easy identification in the front roll. Time of pointing fingers or directing protest from comfort of your homes has gone. For it to be effective, you must lead

this na cheap tiny standing freezer na. Go and read my post again big deep freezer. There are cheap Chinese small deep freezer for 300k to 500k here. But a good and reputable brand is not cheap. Same with tv even 4m

Besides this type of standing small freezer is not common with the Nigerian market. Except the ones with doable door.

What makes you think they someone who's earning 800k per year is supposed to be paying tax?

Can 800k feed you, cloth you, transport you for a year?

800k per year means 2191naira per day

Cheapest cut of meat is 500naira in roadside canteen. A plate of rice in item is 3k naira with one small cut chicken, a small cut of friend plantain, & rice. Smallest size loaf of good bread is 1500naira.

I never said anything about who is supposedto be paying tax did I?


You started a thread and I assume you have more than average knowledge about the topic
So I asked
Simple question for my education

How much tax will a person earning 100000 a month pay?

Just say you don't know. End of discussion

Listen to what you are saying in response

fineboynl:

No I don't that is why I am asking
Every one cannot be knowledgeable like you
So just to confirm
A person earning 100000 monthly will pay 20000 monthly or 240000 a year as income tax according to the new law?
Re: Protest Will Arise If Personal Income Tax Is Implemented by omowolewa: 6:05pm On Sep 09, 2025
The Tax implementation is another "Subsidiary is Gone"

Starting by January 01, 2026, enforcement in 2027, the year when elections would have been concluded.

That is Street smartness

You go protest taya!
