Nna eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Why exactly did you come back

softset:
I am thinking these government officials are usually drunk and possibly high on some shit in the evenings, why would the social media handle of the government say A in the morning while another agency says B in the evening.


Dont they have a chain of command that reviews all that goes out to the public?

My advise for those that have the opportunity to leave this country...please move fast. I did that over 20 years ago and have no single regret. Get another passport as option B. If only for the sake of your children.

Although I am back, but in a MUCH better situation.

(This is to enable governments to collect tax from their citizens that are based abroad). I don't really understand what's going on in this country. They are running out of idea thereby putting immense pressure on people based abroad. These people are paying tax in their respective country and is it a sin to save money in ur own country. This is a bad precedence on the part of the government calling themselves progressive. For how long will the masses continue to bear the burden of this government. No direction, no way forward. Everything is just upsidedown.

Jaqenhghar:

Honestly they are giving people reasons to renounce their citizenship. My uncle reiunced his own tey tey. He obtains a visa whenever he wants to come. He said he has no business that will keep him for more than a month in naija

My friend read the news from the beginning to the end. Don't read only headline!

Better opportunities in Nigeria when you have the CAPITAL. It's also fun.

If you have money, Nigeria is the place to be especially if you are not lured back by evil or unfriendly friends.

You must have a plan, a solid one.

This does not apply to all bank account holders in Nigeria. (This is to enable governments to collect tax from their citizens that are based abroad). The banks are expected to know the customers that this directive applies to (due to the Know Your Customer [KYC] programme) and to inform them of the directive.

FG Asks All Account Holders In Financial Institutions To Re-Register Despite BVN
https://www.nairaland.com/6126530/fg-asks-all-account-holders

The Federal Inland Revenue Service has clarified the directive on self certification by bank account holders.

The Federal Government Twitter account had erroneously tweeted that all bank account holders in Nigeria were to obtain the self certification forms from their bank. The tweet has now been deleted.

In 2014 the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) had developed a common reporting standard (CRS) with which members could exchange information about people that have bank accounts and other financial dealings in multiple countries. Read more about the CRS here.
https://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/common-reporting-standard/

In compliance with that protocol, people who have bank accounts in other countries and foreigners who have bank accounts in Nigeria are required to obtain, fill and submit the self certification forms. This does not apply to all bank account holders in Nigeria. (This is to enable governments to collect tax from their citizens that are based abroad). The banks are expected to know the customers that this directive applies to (due to the Know Your Customer [KYC] programme) and to inform them of the directive.

Here is the FIRS statement.

It's actually not the Nigerian Government's idea.

In 2014 the 20 richest countries in the world asked the OECD to develop a standard with which countries can automatically exchange financial information about their citizens for tax purposes. Remember that US citizens and residents are obliged to pay tax to the US Government no matter where they live.

This system that is being implemented will allow the US Government to get financial information about US citizens in Nigeria and also allow FIRS to get financial information about Nigerian citizens in the US.

It is a mutual exchange of information between OECD member countries.

Jwonder:


Don’t say such, that kind of mentality is bad, the masses are the ones to suffer the consequences of government’s bad policies, when they try to enforce such policies SPEAK OUT, Else your silence is encouraging then to continue with such bad policies.

pafo:


But he has.

CodeTemplar:






The underlined is so daft an idea. How can you tax people for being citizens or earning into foreign accounts? If I make money in UK and in the process of making the money, used UK's public infrastructures, common sense dictates that I pay my tax there and to some imaginary motherland that has been hijacked and is unsupportive of business.

Jaqenhghar:

Fair enough. Thanks for the heads up but I cant imagine why I would want to pay taxes to such an incompetent government at this time. What is the motivation? For me it will make a lot of sense to simply renounce my citizenship than pay a dime to further their cause

That idea is from the US Government. They tax US citizens and residents, no matter where they are. The British prime minister, Boris Johnson, had to renounce his US citizenship because the tax burden was too great.

The US Government has gone after Swiss Banks and other tax havens, because they want to know the identities of Americans that have funds in such places so that they can tax them.

Nigerian banks have already been complying with this directive with regard to US citizens. I have received several messages from my bank to inform/remind me that I need to register if I'm a US citizen and that they are obliged to inform the US Government about my account.

It was the 20 richest countries in the world that approached the OECD to develop this reporting standard.
