It's just like saying the govornship candidate of the APC in Oyo state that refused to put the picture of the current governor of Oyo state at the reception of any of his hotels has commited a crime..

Most hotels and banks etc put the picture of the current governor together with the President at the reception of their hotels but it isnt compulsory nor in the Law.

Thank you!

So you want to equate this to calling for the impeachment of a duly elected president ? Lol

Well I do not know where it is stated in the constitution but I do know that impeaching a duly elected president takes more than what the democrats are doing. And I also know that a vote is needed on the house for decision such as this to be taken

happney65:
Lol..I said you should show me where it is..you are not..Show me the house rule..

And btw,You said nancy do not have the power to make the decision?which decision please?Ohh I guess you have forgotten who is in the majority?or in your alternate reality majority do not carry the votes isnt it?

Lol..Funny people

FYI trump is just playing the dems.

He is going to drag this on along the line he is exposing the dems weaknesses and corruption. The aim is to get them exhausted before the election. By then he will start ditching out their corrupt practices.

His base is still intact he still got 95 percent republicans all he needs is a few independent and 2020 is done and dusted

Lol..Funny people

FYI having a majority in the house is not a guarantee that you will always have your way. Because some may go against the party on some issues. That's what madam speaker is afraid of.

The house can only take a decision after a vote is carried out. It is not about who is in the majority. That's how parliaments around the world operate. If pelosi is so convinced she should put it to vote and make it official

happney65:
Can you please show us the place and chapter it is written in the US constitution that a vote is needed on the floor before an impeachment enquiry can be started..The exact place where it is written..

Thanks

It is in the house rule. The House do not take any decision without a vote. Especially not one as serious as an impeachment. Nanci and her gang do not have the power to make that decision on their own. Simple logic

Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has stated that Kiki Mordi, the reporter behind the sex for grades documentary, is full of arrogance.

According to Kemi Olunloyo who tweeted in reaction to news of death threats on Kiki Mordi, the identity of the reporter should have been protected.

Advising her to leave the country to save her life, Kemi Olunloyo shared on Twitter:

I agree with the arrogant part. The girl blocked me on twitter for disagreeing with her

TheShopKeeper:
...the constitution gives the house of representatives the power to conduct impeachment proceedings... and not one word in the constitution gives the white house a say in the matter...once the house votes to impeach...then according to the constitution it is up to the senate to hold a trial and decide whether to remove the president....

....treasontrump is just behaving like a fascist leader, clearly obstructing the process of democracy, thus making the USA a laughing stock....

Except that the whole house is not conducting the impeachment but the democrats are. Trump may be smarter than you think just sit back and observe

Want to know why the democrats are in a panic mode lately? It is because the trump admin is getting close to unmasking the biggest corruption in American history

Bill Proposes 9% Communication Service Ta

Passes first reading in Senate

Users of communication service providers in the country may have to pay nine percent service tax if the Communication Tax Bill currently before the Senate is passed by the two chambers of the National Assembly and assented to by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Bill entitled ‘Communication Tax Bill, 2019 (SB.12)’ sponsored by Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army, Senator Ali Ndume, passed the first reading at plenary Wednesday.

The bill will now go for second reading before being referred to the appropriate committee for further legislative action including public hearing.

The proposed introduction of the tax, is meant to replace the 2.2% increase in the Value Added Tax being planned by the Federal government as announced by Finance and National Planning Minister, Zainab Ahmad, recently.

The Communication Service Tax Bill provides that the rate of the tax is 9% of the charge for the use of the communication service.

The Bill reads in part:

“There shall be imposed, charged payable and collected a monthly Communication Service Tax to be levied on charges payable by a user of an Electronic Communication Service other than private Electronic Communication Services.”

It further stated that “The tax shall be levied on Electronic Communication Services supplied by Service Providers.”

“For the purpose of this clause, the supply of any form of recharges shall be considered as a charge for usage of Electronic Communication Service.”
Specifically, the Bill provided that the Tax shall be levied on the such Electronic Communication Services like Voice Calls; SMS; MMS; Data usage both from Telecommunication Services Providers and Internet Service as well as Pay per View TV Stations,

Specifically, the Bill provided that the Tax shall be levied on the such Electronic Communication Services like Voice Calls; SMS; MMS; Data usage both from Telecommunication Services Providers and Internet Service as well as Pay per View TV Stations,


If the bill is passed, “The tax shall be paid together with the Electronic Communication Service charge payable to the service provider by the consumer of the service.”

“The tax is due and payable on any supply of Electronic Communication Service within the time period specified under sub-clause (5) of whether or not the person making the supply is permitted or authorized provide Electronic Communication Services.”

The Bill also states that:

“The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) established under section 1 of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, 2007 shall be responsible for collection and remittance of tax, any interest and penalty paid under this Bill.”

“The FIRS shall pay the tax collected together with any interest and penalty into the Federation Account.”

The bill further provides that all service providers shall file a tax return to account for the tax.

“The tax return shall be in a form prescribed by the FIRS and shall state the amount of tax payable for the period and any related matters that may be required.

The return and the tax due to the accounting period to which the tax return relates shall be submitted and paid to the FIRS not later than the last working day of the month immediately after the month to which the tax return and payment relates.

The bill also stated that “The FIRS may extend the period within which the tax return may be submitted and payment made on application in writing by a service provider, where good cause is shown by the applicant.

“The extension shall be communicated to the applicant in writing and shall state the circumstances under which the tax return shall be submitted for the particular period.”

“A service provider who without justification fails to submit to the FIRS the tax return by the date is liable to a pecuniary penalty of N50, 000.00 and a further penalty of N10, 000.00 for each day the return is not submitted.”

Sponsor of the bill, Senator Ndume while justifying the proposed tax said the imposition of tax on communication service is a better way of distributing wealth in such a way that would not affect the ordinary people.

According to him, increasing VAT would have very deadly effect on the economy as it could affect prices of goods and services and take them beyond the reach of the ordinary people.
