We know that in America many of the road projects, bridges and so on are done through taxpayer’s fund. But in a dysfunctional Nigerian system the rich get richer without tax obligations and our decayed infrastructure continue to take a leaking. It’s usually all talk and no action; in a few years time when it’s time for re-election they will pay some reporter to bring it to the forefront again.
Employees of Corporations and Civil servants all pay their Taxes through payroll deductions, so RA must be paying his share.
The government has to go after small businesses, and make sure they pay a good share of income Tax.
These traders do not use electronic cash registers in their shops, and some of them do not issue reciept for goods sold.
The onus is for Nigerian Govt to invest in the technology to make Tax collection easier. Infrastructure is the foundation for development and good governance.
Oil revenue will continue to plunge over time, and the FED better develope a framework to go after Taxes.
