The time go come

[quote author=Coded081 post=137985247][/quote]1. Nigerians generally do not pay tax except for public servants who have no choice in the matter. That is not good enough and should change.
2. When a people tax they get more interested in how that money is being spent and do the needful including voting out a non-performing administration where they are dissatisfied with the policies of government.
3. The larger number of the disinterested in good governance are the rich who pay little or no tax and can afford to privately provide for themselves the public infrastructures the largely inept and corrupt Nigerian governments have failed to provide. The new tax laws will make them pay appropriate taxes and subsequently get them to vote and participate in our democracy in the hope that their involvement will throw up the best to rule the rest of us. Presently the best are not the ones ruling the rest of us!
4. The weaponisation of the burden of poverty the Nigerian poor carry by conscienceless politicians will be less effective as the poor get to see good governance over time.
5. Worldwide, taxes are a means of income generation for the government a practice the colonial government in Nigeria used to its maximum. Nigeria stands to generate more income that way spreading the government streams of income beyond oil income receipts.
6. One could go on and on.

[quote author=Coded081 post=137985247][/quote]Hence you are against the tax law can you tell us the difference in the implications of vat under the old and new law?

This format don cast na, was it not the same jusyifucation you guys used for subsidy removal at last it was the poor that suffered the effects

zoedew:
Blind and misguided folks being used by the rich who are bent on maintaining the status quo. It will fail and they will be put to shame.

Chegesnd:
In the next seven days, you will see Tinubu's own faction of NANS.
He is notorious for factionalising every body and organization.

NANS should keep quiet. Students are one of the beneficiaries of this government. I have evidence very close to me. No government since 1999 has done this much to students.

Wrong prayer. In democracy, people are free to choose Thier leaders and have opinions without threat form the likes of you. It seems you know nothing about democracy

For those of you that seleted Yes in this poll may your road in Life be rough

Melagros:
COMRADES, Tinubu don't place the poor before his heart. Those who voted for him I don't know whether they are exempted from the current calamity

Tell that to students benefitting from NELFUND.

It's an IMF policy and that's why tinubu is hell bent on implementing it, despite the suffering of the masses and his failure to provide the palliatives he promised in 2023 in his inauguration speech as a result of the subsidy he removed toll now. I remember how Kenyans protested against it and won.

Nigeria must not be a mumu over this. They'd really suffer

As I make my posts please note that I am not a partisan politician and not on their payroll. Truth is, we must give economic repair measures time to positively impact the lives of the common man. Presently as I know, food is a lot cheaper. My means afford me the opportunity to patronise Mama Put and I know that for sure. That is just an example especially because food is the most basic need of man.

This is past of the reason why sometimes if people say Education is a scam, I just keep quiet, image someone that wants to school didn't understand the new tax law, an now they want to protect .haaa Education

NANS wan use the opportunity to collect money from baba Seyi

I am not rich, I am against the law because govt will tax me 9m plus yearly and I am not close to being rich. I struggle with the crazy bills in Nigeria and crazy dependencies due to wacky system.
We want tax but not crazy 20 percent plus. U are taxing me like the UK, do u provide services like the UK? Do we have high minimum wage like the UK? I have spent over 100k on fuel and generator at my family house in one month, will govt allow me to deduct that ?
So, if I made 20m last year from foriegn sourced income, and I spent 3m plus to buy fuel and repair generator and pay electricity bill. That means I have 17m lest for other things.
If Tinubu and his men takes about 4m of that money as tax this year, it means they reduced my purchasing power to 16m. Now, i will still spend 3m plus on home generator aside business generator. If they had taken the 4m plus as tax and i dont have to spend 3m plus on fueling generator, and ko, I will gladly pay.
I have not mentioned the cost of private schools since public schools are useless and under funded. We resist this madness. Nigeria is not ripe for such uselsss tax.
Govt should fix leakages, corruption, stop awarding projects to croonies, stop paddling budget, run tech driven reform to improve financial transperancy where any competent person can win public project and execute it. The govt should utilize our empty lands for massive agricutlture, a lot can be made from farming galric and ginger alone.
The govt can make a lot from sport. We waste money caring for the retirement packages of ex governors, senators, house of rep memebers, presidents, generals, AIG, IG, etc. We are paying tax to fund their lives. God forbid. I resist it!

The police or apc thugs will definitely disrupt the protest.

We havent protested in his regime.....Fuel sunsidy was removed no one complained....he succeeded now its taxation to fund the corrupt politicians.....still no sign of protest....Very soon Tinubu will start charging us based on the air we breathe....

iwaeda:
Tinubu is averse to protest. Anyways let enjoy his remaining term.

Kingluqman:
NANS are now useless and baseless.. Bulaba can easily buy them and they will keep their mouth shut

with antecedents, don't be surprised that's exactly what they want from there govt.They want to collect their own shares

I know you're a Student Data Boy, but please don't derail the thread, because you have collected Students Loan.
The issue here is about the inconsistencies in the New Tax Law.
NANS is talking about harmonization of the Act Legislated upon by the National Assembly and the one surreptitiously gazetted by the Presidency.

Any of the participants in the poll has liberty of choice as part of his or her inellinable right.

The ones we've been paying, the subsidy removal and the rest, what impact have they made to the common man on the streets. Politicians riding on convoys, lavishing money recklessly on trip to Europe, still y'all want more and more tax to be embezzled. After y'all will use Europe and advanced countries with civilized humans, to give us example. Those countries are not corrupt like your country. These taxes will end up in people's pocket, nothing will come out of it.
Same people that will tell you, it's not the duty of government to give jobs to graduates, but wants to tax unemployed. Puwwaaah

Lol. These polls are a trick to gauge how many people visit the forum. Less than a hundred members voted. Some of the votes were done by multi-account users. ROFLMAO. Nairaland is irrelevant. Fix the forum, they didn’t listen for the longest time.

helinues:
FG should in their case should embark on enlightening Nigeria about the new tax law

Tv stations, Radio stations, social media influencers

You ignore the elephant in the room and you're talking about orientation of citizens. People are asking for transparency and accountability but it's not your concern. If I call you what you are now, these useless bots will start convulsing. But don't worry, you and all those data boys and girls will still get what's coming to you.

Oga just shut it there. How long is the economy supposed to take for it to be repaired? Things are very bad in the streets for the common man, and you're here talking trash. The number of people begging to both online and offline have increased, businesses have folded up but here you are.
You were asked , what benefits have fuel and electricity subsidy removals had on the economy and on the citizens? Absolutely none, instead Nigeria is still borrowing and the taxes are increasing. If you have nothing reasonable to say, it's better you keep quiet instead of typing gibberish.

This was how they did PR for fuel subsidy removal. Lied about how FG will save more money for infrastructural development and improvement of the standard of living of the people but they shared the excess money recovered. They stole and ate it all.

They started talking about the pains of change and how it is a necessary phase to reach El Dorado when the whole money finished. Paid data boys and girls to push their narratives online. This has empowered them to move the notch higher by forging draconian tax laws to further squeeze funds from hardworking Nigerians, without any visible improvement in the livelihoods and the same data boys and girls have been activated to do their work of gaslighting the public. When Nigerians are ready, they know what to do.

Lol, normal playbook.
It's like they've not been "settled" yet, they're doing this so that the appropriate people will call them and carry them along.
I pity anyone that thinks they're fighting for the ordinary Nigerian.

grandstar:
The government can simply go back to the previous tax rates and enforce collection.

.
This is what would have been best.

Some of you in this forum over rate yourselves. Someone who got chartered as accountant in 1994 is a student data boy because my opinion supports the actions of the government.

What is the genuine interest of students against tax reforms to warrant demonstration? The window of extra income that came to the government are they not direct beneficiaries such that they have never experienced before?

Oluwole man wants to use gbajue on Nigerians.

Oga if taxation of the rich is increased who do you think will feel the pinch or who will the extra costs be transferred to? Stop falling for this divide and rule rich vs poor nonsense.

Hezzyluv:
I agree with you on this. Even me, I still dey struggle to understand the whole thing.

Because even the Oyedele guy is not being transparent in his explanation of the tax laws.

9javerified:
I hereby support the new tax law. Is just that most people are blind in their brain and couldn’t see why it should be imposed

Oya why should it be imposed?

Oga you talk like as of you don't know these guys in APC. Is it not here we are that even your votes don't count or they mobilize thugs to prevent a certain tribe of people from voting?
Again i still say Oyedele is not beijg transparent with this tax law. On one hand he is saying that no one would debit your account and on another hand he is saying that with your tax ID they can monitor your inflows from payment gateways and your bank account. He also dodged the article that is being contested that gives the tax authority power to debit your account when they see any unexplained inflows and the article in that law that was altered gives the tax man powers to arrest and prosecute, where is that done.
I know you have eaten corn but sometimes grow conscience and fear God.
