Dogara Questions Northern Leaders Challenging Tinubu's Tax Reform Bills

[@peterotegbe3012]

For a man from the north delivering such wisdom it shows that every child in the north deserves top education

[@Believereign]

It's not his education, so many of them are educated, but nit intelligent and doesn't like saying the truth, A lot that opposes the bill knows all these dogara has said ,but they are in their nature very selfish and wicked , they can't do without federal government allocations

[@olusolaadesina4623]

They're afraid enlightened youths population will rise up to challenge with vengeance and they won't be able to cope with them wicked and ignorant people

Wow, I never knew Dògara is this eloquent, thoughtful and articulate. Bravo. Nigeria future is bright.

This is a typical example of approaching critical issues with open mind. You earn my respect Mr. Dogara. Seun Okibaloye, you and your colleagues, thank you for making Channels TV an unbiased Station.

[@femiolatunji7890]

I would like to congratulate the management of channels tv for this wonderful public engagement. This is why I prefer channels tv to some “Pseudo political tv stations” where biased and negative subjective opinions are celebrated and venerated. Kudos to channels tv. Not liking Tinubu does not make all his policies evil as some media houses will have us erroneously believe

It is completely devoid of sectional sentiments. It is truly pure leadership on display! Big kudos to him once again! 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️

The funniest of his speech is when he asked "how many people does gov consult when making laws"? He went further to say that most laws govs make are made from their living rooms 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

WHAT IS IN THE TAX REFORM... 1. Any business with less than N50million turnover are exempted from tax payment. 2. over 90% of workers in public and private sector will no longer pay income tax 3. Over 82% of what low income persons consume will be VAT free. 4. scrapping over 50 nuisance tax suffered by local businesses 5. VAT will no longer be calculated base on where the companies have their headquarters but where their goods are consume 6. the rich to pay more tax while the poor will stop paying taxes.. 7. Consumption tax collected by states will be eliminated completely 8. FG share of VAT to reduce from 15% to 10% as states and LGAs now get 90% 9. Those earning less than N1.7m monthly will now pay less income tax 10. Customs, NUPRC and other govt agencies will no longer collect tax as only one Agency will be responsible for collection of all taxes in NGR 11. Those receiving less than N9million per anum could have their income tax cut by half 12. The bill could lead to abolition of other multiple tax laws like the stamp duty act 13. Over 90% of small business would no longer pay profit tax 14. Gradual increase of VAT from 10% in 2025 to 15% in 2030... With almost every goods consume by low income earners exempted from VAT 15. Many NGR companies pay over 60 types of different tax & levies... The bill seeks to end this factor killing NGR industries.

Paying the tax isn’t the problem, my problem is will this present APC government use the tax gotten for the people or themselves??

[@uogbue]

This your so call tax reform is ambiguous and can be implemented in any which way the enforcer wish. The problem in Nigeria is the law but the institutions applying and enforcing the law. The northerners knows this because they the most experienced politicians in Nigeria. They understand that trust is a very huge commodity in Nigeria politics. They understand that it is better not to create the ambiguity for a crook to institutionalise corruption and perpetuate permanent stealing of the public wealth just it’s happening in some states.

@Romeovincent56 Because he is a politician like the rest of them. Once they step into office, their good intentions for the people tend to change as the years go by. I have learned over many years not to trust politicians or, fall for their clever tactics. They all have it. These are people hand picked (selected) for us to vote for, not people WE the masses picked for ourselves (through a referendum) to lead and serve us. It was funny to me, the day i discovered where the word 'Politics' is derived from.
