Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, says the committee is proposing a law to the National Assembly to increase valued added tax from the current 7.5% to 10%.

Oyedele stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

He also said his committee was working to consolidate multiple taxes in Nigeria to ensure tax reduction.

Oyedele added the tax law the committee drafted would be submitted to the National Assembly.

He said, “We have significant issues in our tax revenue. We have issues of revenue generally which means tax and non-tax. You can describe the whole fiscal system in a state that is in crisis.

“When my committee was set up, we had three broad mandates. The first one was to look at governance: our finances as a country, borrowing, coordination within the federal government and across sub-national.

“The second one was revenue transformation. The revenue profile of the country is abysmally low. If you dedicate our whole revenue to fixing roads it will be insufficient. The third is on government assets.

“The law we are proposing to the National Assembly has the rate of 7.5% moving to 10% from 2025. We don’t know how soon they will be able to the law. Then subsequent increases are also indicated in of the year they will kick in.

“While we are doing that, we have a corresponding reduction in personal income tax. Anybody that is earning about N1.5 million a month or less, they will see their personal income tax come down. Companies will have income tax rate come down by 30% over the next two years to 25%. That is a significant reduction.

“Other taxes they pay are quite many: IT levy, education tax, etc. All these we are consolidating into a single one. They will pay 4% initially. That will go down to 2& in the next few years.”

Textbook stunts. In a nation where value addition is almost alien to the system, someone is talking about raising value added taxes. People can barely afford to add value to what they cultivate or manage to produce.

We drink our cow milk as nunu with no value added. Take cocoa as powder with little value added. Eat corn cooked with little value. Export cocoa and import value added end products. Export crude and import value heavy petrol n diesel. What more can I say?

When we can hardly buy mere toiletries or even eat conveniently?

Is this madness or wickedness?

This is what they meant when they say that "Tinubu built Lagos" It's nothing but operation TAX and SPEND. Just levy the people to death and reck in more money for more presidential jets and bullet proof cars. That is it. This was how they have orchestrated the highest tax regime anywhere in Africa on Lagos traders and businesses. They now want to add more burden to the loads of already dying Nigerians.

APCs whole socioeconomic ideology revolves around "DEVIDE and RULE" and "TAX and SPEND".

They have increased import duties, left the exchange rate to whatever they call "market forces", removed fuel subsidies which helped to reduce the cost of moving goods from one destination to the other. Now they will increase VAT. Tomorrow, they will send their thugs to the markets to fight with traders who are being accused of raising the selling prices of goods. How do you do all these violence to the economic stability of the nation and never expect any sort of inflation?

Omo them supposed blow off ur head with KALA for complaining, They warned you for good 8years but you called them wailers now u complaining. Abi them don comot you for 30k payroll? You brain don dey align together?

I expected nothing less for a man who monopolized Lagos with taxpayers money. What happened to implementing the new minimum wage.

That's more than 33% increase! The inflationary effect would be massive given that the economy is already badly affected by inflationary pressures, does the government want the economy to be permanently under recession? Inflation might reach 100% once they increase Vat by over 33%.

make it 20%

There have been no positive achievement since Tinubu's led APC government assumed office, so now he has to increase IGR and ceremoniously tag it his achievement.

This is Tinubu's led Lagos State model, rinse and repeat.

APC and Tinubu won't rest until until they kill all Nigerians.

Truly, he is an overfed father of starving children.

What have we done to deserve this level of brutality? What exactly is our offence?

Fuel, food, medicine, education are no longer within reach.

Just one year and the country has turned upside down.

It is finished

Again?

Chai!! Continue ronu crew are dying silently. Voting this vampire is tantamount to suicide because those idiots will be dying slowly.

You want to operate similar economy to Europe and US, On top a useless minimum wage.

Everybody is crying and wailing about the situation of the economy can hardly see anyone who is happy with what is going on.
