We don't want this kind of news. They should tax alcohol producers per bottle in their factory instead of we the consumers.


Alcohol must stay. Commissioner must go.

Kolababe:
People who consume alcohol in Akwa Ibom will now be made to pay tax. The State’s Commissioner for Finance, Akan Okon, made the announcement yesterday while speaking with Journalists in Uyo.

“Some people who lodge in hotels and consume alcohol will henceforth pay taxes to the state government. The focus is to look inward to see how the various opportunities that are available in the state can be harnessed to raise the Internally Generated Revenue(IGR),’’ the commissioner said.

The commissioner also decried the attitude of some businessmen in the informal sector of the economy who fail to pay their taxes to government. He noted that if they paid their taxes, it would help the state pull resources together and that would help in providing social amenities for citizens.

they increase taxes on alcohol meaning dat producers of alcohol will be paying higher tax rate.
When dis is done, the producers will now increase the prices of their product and as a consumer wen u buy at a higher price dan the normal price ur also taxed.
The extra amount added is considered as the consumer tax nt dat they are taxed directly bt through the producer and dis is done 2 stop or reduce the consumption of alcohol.
