This will move our country forward a great deal.
We are in a very safe and trusted hands.
Not in the hands of criminals, rapists and looters.

God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari for all the very good work he is doing in our nation.

God bless Nigeria.




It is always good and refreshing to see that we still have reasonable and sensible youths on this forum.
Two wise men.
God bless you guys.

Even if them dey pay you as NL rep, you should present reasonable arguments in support of our government not been overtly over simplistic without relevance and blocking useful space even when you don't have an iota of idea about the topic. sad
Good advise

Na that number 10 them go use chop the common man. An average Nigerian uses savings account and you cannot even have more than one in the same bank except the other is a joint account. So what rubbish exemption are they exempting?

I like number 5 and 6 though. Waiting for the next FIRS officials that will come to my office.

Some people ask; where are the achievements?
Well, if they are of such mindset, unfortunately they can't be helped.
We don't have the authority to mix spittle with clay, put on their eyes, and direct them to go to Siloam pool, wash, and come back seeing.
Once anybody decides to be willfully blind, no matter what you push in front of his eyes, he wouldn't see.
If he decides to be willfully deaf, even if there are thunder peals by his ears, he won't hear
.
The blind claim not to know.
Good luck to them.
Those who know, really know.
And they are the millions who will stand by the President any day, any time....like Yours Truly.
Strides in security, agriculture, anti-corruption, infrastructure, and many others are evident.
When they drive on Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Aba Port Harcourt Expressway, and hear that early works on the Second Niger Bridge have reached about 45% completion,
and still refuse to believe, what then can anybody still do?
But thankfully, those who believe far out number the inveterate, wailing, blind cynics.

Oga why can't you explain in details this your mysterious knowing instead of insulting people. Even Christ explains his riddles with simplistic words afterwards. Contend with others rationally rather than assume others are incapable of basic comprehension.

1. Banks will request Tax Identification Number (TIN) before individuals are allowed to open bank accounts. Existing account holders must provide their TIN to be able to operate their accounts. #PublicFinanceBill

TIN registration should then simply be centralized and easily done from the system.
Tax regime calculation should not be opaque, easy to understand and calculate for reconciliation purpose.
Issues from tax and others should have a clear procedure to resolve them without the usual government bureaucracy.


upvote

2. Non-residents who provide imported technical and management services in Nigeria will be taxable at a final Witholding Tax rate of 10%. #PublicFinanceBill

Non-residents should be defined.
Are we saying Non-Resident Nigerians, NRN or Non-Resident Experts.

If NRN, it makes no sense, as taxation is a disincentive to repatriate funds home, we will be discouraging FDIs and Diaspora who repatriate funds back home.
This is also in addition to the tax paid by NRN in the countries where they earn, plus charges from both banks (foreign and Nigeria alike when sending funds home)
In fact, they should be incentivized to bring home the money they have been able to earn.

However, the master stroke here will be if NRE are made to payback part of the funds earned whilst working here:
I know people will say it will discourage experts, but of course they earn the money in Nigeria, it is only fair they pay their taxes before repatriating the funds.
Plus it will discourage outsourcing our jobs to expert which can be done by Nigerians


Upvote for NRE downvote for NRN


3. Dividends distributed from petroleum profits will attract 10% withholding tax. This will affect those with investments in oil and gas investments. #PublicFinanceBill

Enough said. Upvote here. You earned it then pay for it.

4. A minimum tax (mainly applies to those without profit & unable to pay CIT) provisions of 0.5% of turnover will apply to all companies and exemption will only apply to small companies (less than 25m turnover). Non-resident companies will now pay minimum tax. #PublicFinanceBill

#upvote


5. Small businesses with turnover less than N25m to be FULLY exempted from Companies Income Tax (CIT) & entities with less than N25m in turnover are exempted from VAT registration. #PublicFinanceBill

Good decision as this will encourage SMEs.
But this rule should be domesticated nationally to avoid the case of dubious state tax laws.


6. A CIT rate of 20% applies medium-sized companies with turnover between N25m and N100m. It's a boost for SMEs. #PublicFinanceBill

#upvote but my fear is providing a responsible government to companies giving you one fifth of what they make, and 20kobo for a Naira earned.
No excuse should be given by government why they should not provide responsible infrastructure for people paying you so much.


7. The law will now allow use of EMAILS as a communication medium with tax institutions - FIRS & State Revenue Agencies. #PublicFinanceBill

Good, it makes things a lot easier.
#upvote

8. Early payment of Company Income Tax is incentivised with deduction of 2% of tax payable (medium-sized companies) and 1% for large companies. #PublicFinanceBill

Good start, but should see a ceiling of 5% to provide good motivation

10. Stamp duty on bank transfers will apply to amounts of N10,000 and above. Transfers between the same owner's accounts in the same bank will be exempted. Electronic bank transfers included.
#PublicFinanceBill

Downvote here
As a total review of the charges should be looked into.
A value for exemption should be tied to the minimum salary.


This way the common man, may benefit from this as 100k maybe transferred in 3 tranches, that is the Nigerian in me thinking now
grin

How many northern businesses pay tax? How many northerners have TIN? how many herdsmen pay tax? A serious government would have prioritised financial inclusion over killing the current taxpayers with more tax.

Well, we shall see.

So does it mean that unemployed Nigerians who are receiving stipends in their bank accounts from friends and relatives can't be able to also access their accounts without providing their TIN?

Will there be structures in place to control price so that companies will not craftily shift the burden of their taxes on the common man who will be buying some everyday products?

All in all, it’s a great directive.

Now, there should be solid laws put in place to guarantee government looters a minimum of 18 years in prison, expedited trial(trials should not drag for more than 6months).


Something should be done about the effcc and their bias fight against corruption
