Do u want to tell me that the government have not been collecting tax from her citizens?
What happened to the subsidy they removed?

Obi is not against any taxation what every same Nigerians is against is the transparency

Fuel subsidy was just removed and everybody was feeling the heat of it now the new tax law show it face.
What will happen in 2027 or 2028 only God knows and we will still giving excuses without nobody accounting for anything.

So tax is your shock absorber? I think production to taxation ratio must be gotteb right to make meaning out of taxation. Tinubu is taxing us for our existence and not for our prosperity. How do you explain N50 flat tax for various transfer amount above N10,000?
Same bandwidth, processor power, network, and general resource used to send N10m is what is needed to transfer N10,000, so why a flat N50 fee?

Simple. Taxation of exisyence and not prosperity.

I do not, in any way, support this tax regime. However, whenever this neatly packaged fraud called Pitobi opens his mouth to condemn it, I instinctively suspect there must be something beneficial about the tax that we Nigerians are yet to grasp. At that point, I’m forced to pause… and reconsider.

But wait, did I just read the profound wisdom that “you can’t tax yourself out of poverty”? Interesting. Should we then conclude that Nigeria is officially poor? And if so, how does that square with the earlier sermon from the same handle-mops who confidently assured us that Nigeria can conveniently pay every citizen one million naira monthly?

Surely, the handle-mops will soon emerge with another magical explanation, because consistency, as usual, is clearly not part of the brand.

After 8 years of Obi in Anambra, what are they producing?

Has Obi even read the tax bill? Does he know what it entails?

Can he articulate his own road map to development?

There is no country that developed without tax systems. The countries with no taxes are countries with low population and huge wealth. In countries that run social systems, tax contributions support such social nets.

In Nigeria, we have had too many social nets that cannot be sustained in future. For example, many of us paid very low fees for university education. Who paid taxes for such? Many of us had affordable healthcare in public hospitals, who paid the taxes? Some years ago, UK officials came to Nigeria to get some of our doctors trained by Nigeria because the UK cost of training medical doctors had sky-rocketed. In many countries, young graduates have years of students debts to settle, something that never happened in Nigeria.

If we actually have to pay the costs of the things we enjoy in Nigeria as are paid elsewhere in the world, that is when many would realize we have lived in paradise for years.

How does taxation work in practice? The more you earn, the more your contributions towards a common pool to support those who earn less.

Typical THOUGHTLESS post.

What is 50 naira?

Everything is "too much" yet you want a "working country".

NONSENSE.

No It can't be overturned. To start a good thing is difficult but once started it can't be overturned. Lagos could have been dependent on allocations like Kano today but it is not. Once you are making a budget of 2 trillion you can't go back to 500 billion.
If the current government reduces oil income to twenty percent of total income it will be a good development

This man too get sense. No country ever grows by inceased taxing on the citizens. There must be production for GDP increase and economic growth.

Agbado people know this but because it's coming from Peter Obi they will attack him and forget the message he is passing across.

Peter Obi is the man Tinubu cannot be. When Peter Obi was in private business, Tinubu was busy sniffing drugs and shuttling between America and Nigeria in his narcotics business.

God bless Peter Obi.

Okwute even introduced mad Tax in Anambra during is regime... I just dislike this Obi because he did lot of what he now criticise like his saint... https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16mHPeXgnz/

Same way you guys supported and cheered Buhari up for 8 years until he ran the country aground.

When una go get sense?

The town crier don start again in the new year

The new tax rate is lower than the previous one. The only difference is increasing of tax base.

Everything shouldn't be about cho cho cho . If the projects benefits are equality, let the tax also be equality

Angelfrost:
There's nothing wrong in taxation as a form of revenue generation.

The only issue here is the absence of transparency.

The truth is taxation, subsidy removal and constant unchecked borrowing won't cover up the protracted and endemic corrupt system of diverting funds at all levels of governance, starting from local governments... With States being the biggest culprits.

I didnt complain about the amount but the formula that exposes the intention of the inventor of that formula. A flat tax on activity and not growth is wrong. Call it a cry all you want.

Talk about the Government of the day.....not talking out of tribalism...

What will this tax law bring to your life if the fuel Subsidy remove two years ago has not improved anything but worsened all since it was removed....

Reference:
And to think that a government will seek to take from people earning slightly above 50 dollars a month or less than two dollars a day is just so cruel.

That ridiculous threshold of N800,000 is equivalent to 550 dollars a year or One dollar, 50 cents a day. So if I earn two dollars a day I am liable to give a portion to government...haba.

Considering that the United Nations has adopted the World Bank's IPL (International Poverty Line), that delineates poverty from extreme poverty to be survival on 3 dollars a day, our government intends taxing anyone earning above One dollar fifty cents. That is taxing Extreme Poverty.

This is mean and absolutely unconscionable.
