“We are exploring the way to increase taxes as well as reduce taxes in some sectors. For Small and Medium Enterprises, what will happen is to reduce taxes. But there are some special taxes that we will be looking at imposing,” she said.
“For example, luxury taxes. If you have a private jet, we will be taxing you specially for that. If you have a yacht, we will be charging you for that and also in terms of excise duties, there are also some new areas where excise duties will be introduced.
“We haven’t got all the approvals but one of the major areas might be that of carbonated drinks produced in the country.”
According to Ahmed, the Whistleblower Unit has recovered over N8.5 billion and $465 million among others from the 1,051 investigations conducted from tips received.
“Based on verification outcome by the Presidential Initiative on Continuous Audit (PICA), we have also paid over 2,000 former workers of our defunct national carrier- Nigeria Airways Limited,” she said.

ReplyDeleteAs they refused to tax Oyedepo and other likes for church, they should tax them on that
ReplyDeleteOyedepo hates Buhari because he is now made to pay taxes for his private jets which used to enjoy free taxes for harbouring on Nigerian airports during the last administration.

ReplyDeletePeople are talking about something serious that has general implication for the country you are jumping to Dino. Your comment here doesn’t even make sense with the subject of the news. You are talking about what the money is used for when you are one of those who don’t pay taxes. How many of you pay taxes before you talk about how taxes are used?
DeleteSmart move.. You can also tax them for being too rich too. 😂
