And what next? In less than one month government agencies have hit the business with taxes of over N800,000. The latest one they just got is N200,000 and they are expected to pay in 3 days.
This is a restaurant, not even a factory. How reasonable are these taxes?
And the huge part of that money goes to their individual pockets and not the treasury. It's frustrating and annoying.
ReplyDeleteSeriously! it's the truth.
ReplyDeleteGovernment is meant to protect & encourage small scale entrepreneur not to drive them away from the business with excessive tax.
ReplyDeleteomg..sad
ReplyDeleteThese rates are too Exorbitant...coupled with steady buying of fuel,how much profit will one make..indeed Naija is not ready for small Business ..cos these rates would discourage any enterpreneur..there increasing the unemployment Rate..
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, we really dnt have government, if dos taxes are used for development, we'll b glad 2 pay it
ReplyDeleteIs this not too much,how do we grow in this country with such exorbitant fee
ReplyDeleteThis so unfair, how do they now expect small business to grow when all the profit is going on tax. Government should try and do something about this issue
ReplyDeleteVery correct including the shop money
ReplyDeletethis is it o! And we don't see what they do with the money. They are indirectly trying to force the person out of business thereby making those working for him/her unemployed. Government! Government! Government! How many times I call una?
ReplyDeleteMy brother, those tax are not fixed, they are negotiable to even 10,000 if you follow the right process,that process is illegal and wrong though..
ReplyDeleteGovernment are trying their best but the workers in charge are causing all the wahala,i have been able to follow a barrister friend of mine to tax office and found out that,the tax offices in Nigeria are so corrupt that government are not even aware of their shady deals..
For example,they we give you a big money as tax to pay, like 200k and if you prove stubbornness, they will invite the police and lock you up,till you pay that amount and that money is surely going to Government revenue but if you responds well and promise them to come in two days time that you we give them 20,000 they we agree and come to pick the money that very day you promise,no receipt,no tax person we ever visit you again,till the following next payment time, guess where that money is going without receipt?..
Many example plenty jare..All sector in Nigeria need total overhauling.
