Advice needed on property approval in lagos for a person in the diaspora.

We thought the process was complete( We have paid a little over a million already) and then they slap another 1.5million income tax assessment for someone resident abroad. How does one deal with this.

Apparently they have his P60 already


They are talking of appeal please make una tell us how you dealt with this

I have not completed building approval in lagos myself.

But I wonder why someone residing abroad would tender his tax documents for building approval in Nigeria??

Is it cheaper that way??

The reason I asked is even if an individual paid $100k in taxes in US or £70k in taxes in the UK. There's no way building approval authorities will be hitting back flips and clapping for you...
Although it seems that what they are doing is trying to generate revenue for their respective states but they don't really care about taxation laws.. they all want to be paid in the end.

Matter of fact, even if you bring in income tax receipts from a different state, the state you are building on will still tell you ehn ehn.... You paid taxes in different state, the tax we need is the receipts of the ones you paid in the state you are seeking the building approval from
( this happened to me).

This is one of the many reasons why individuals resort to "any means" to overcome this burden and get their building plans approved because even if you try to do right , they still say you are wrong. Damn you if you do, damn you if you don't.

Why would someone pay taxes in 2 different states from one income?? It defies common sense but that's the way it they think it should be

But the bigger part of it is with the loose privacy laws in Nigeria, someone Turning in their foreign tax documents with their information 'might' be opening themselves up for things they didn't bargain for.

Also, jealous folks in that office will be saying ehn ehn... hin wan show us say hin dey live abroad etc... and they will see the abroadian as ATM or make life unnecessarily hard for them.

If you are doing screeding, electrical can come after screeding. But you must apply first coat before installation of fittings

I don't know the cost of architectural drawings but my own input is that you need to have MEP drawings if you are going for approval .. but to me it's necessary to have anyways even though tye drawings is not going through approval

no mind the painter he's only being lazy.

Hello everyone....please has anyone used biodigester soakaway here? What are the pros and cons?

CivilEngineer90:

The painter isn't being lazy Engr. That's my preferred option as well and no artisan, builder or engr can convince me otherwise. I will paint first before doing fittings or cabinets anyday, anytime...in fact, I'd even install wooden doors after painting as well. People do things in their own preferred ways for different reasons. The owner of the project should have the final say after getting properly informed on pros and cons of both options.

My personal reasons for choosing to paint first are:
1. to prevent paint stains on fittings, cabinets or wooden doors, which can be quite unsightly for me,
2. to prevent areas of unpainted wall under fittings, which may become exposed in the future if I ever have to replace fittings,
3. dirt on painted wall can be remedied easily, but not so easy for paint stains on fittings and woodwork.
4. the overall finish looks a lot more tidy and professional when painting is done first in my opinion,
5. IT IS MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE

redgem:

I haven't, but I do not like the idea that I'd still have to do a separate soakaway for waste water and also have to source for special toilet cleaning agents that may not be readily available, if I'm to opt for a biodigester soakaway. Personally, I'd rather go for the regular, tried and tested septic tank/soakaway combination even if it's more expensive, but that's just me I guess.

What is the cost for 1 unit, please?
