The Nigerian government says it will soon impose heavy tax on giant technology and digital companies in the country.Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, made this known on Friday, while interacting with a delegation of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria , led by its President, Mr Adesina Adedayo who visited him at the Presidential Villa.
A statement from the Vice President’s office read, “While the Federal Government will not be raising tax rates at this time, based on the Finance Act 2019, it is already empowered to widen the tax net, including by collecting taxes on the Nigerian income of global tech giants with significant economic presence here, even if they have not established an office or permanent establishment and are currently not paying taxes in Nigeria.
You like impose tax of $1000 we go still pay do anything we want .
lol
Who else is ready for a Coup🖐
Clueless and self-centered government!
This government will never cease from suppressing the voice of the people. We shall see how far they can go.
I'm not against this if they'll be smart enough to give out good loans to local tech companies to develop local social networks. It'll be magnificent and a step in the right direction.
How on earth would well meaning Nigerians kick against taxing foreign corporations? I don't understand
Those behind the governmental institutions of our nation today, especially at the Buhari Presidency that is being run by Malami and associates, sees us (Nigerians) not as citizens that should be served, but slaves that should serve them. This is why they treat us disrespectfully.
Nigerians will still support this set of tyrants
Sir some time talk like educated personal other country have sensors in things they don't like to be displayed.. pay technology researcher to do their job and not stopping the already some one effort
Hope they're ready to tax the Indian koo App and Garba Crowee too. I see MBuhari and other FG officials and agencies are now there. I see witch hunting here, as usual with this current government.🤷
With the whole tax you have been imposing On companies what have you been able to do with it
Bad losers.
Just embarrassing us anyhow... Sometimes, it isn't all about education and titles. It's a lot more than that. Leadership skills are beyond education and this is a perfect example 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Jihad uploading. Simon Ekpa simon_ekpa is right in one of his broadcasts. Eradication of innovations for suna. I pity those who still believe in a fake one Nigeria. BiafraReferendumNow
The masses will bear the pains of the tax as usual. A government that hate the people they govern.
Shey na this kind thing una dey show this man face..
Nigeria is a failed country stop fooling yourself, total disintegration to save life ReferendumNow
Pastor my ass.
Just zip it please, nobody really cares about this government.
Direct or indirectly planning to impose heavy on Nigerians.. When you increased electricity tariff & fuel price. We all knew the implications on prices of commodities.
The only thing the 🇳🇬 govt always think about is how to extort their poor masses. Political criminals with zero conscience.
Useless and confused set of incompetent government
The only things our governments over the years have perfected - taxing, regulating and killing businesses.
Confused Nigerians, whichever direction their government take , no problem, left no problem, right no problem
How do they intend to do that? For companies that do not have physical presence in Nigeria. The only way is to tax anyone that pays for paid ads on their platforms.
This taxation is not about earning money but about control free speech. They have been satisfied with borrowing until PMB tweet got deleted.
Am not disappointed when u says something like this hanger man without dress
Very crazy when someone providing free services for you .. then all this company will make their services payable as well....animal thinking to impose tax.. then they will imposed payment subscription monthly for the users in nigeria

All of you thinks likewise that's why you have no positive results in your government
Good point. But the ones you've been collecting from mtn, airtel, etc, are breaking our backs 'coz they've turned around and be hammering us indirectly. But my question is simple; what have you been with all these taxes? 'Coz a whole still seems bad. Very bad
How will a company not incorporated in Nigeria be taxed? This sounds like the users of social media will be taxed.
Go ahead, let's see how it goes. This is Nigeria where nothing works & this also won't work. If it were RealTrump that made this Statement or reasonable leaders like vladimipu or EmmanuelMacron, we would take them more seriously but Nigerian leaders can't get a thing done
Backwards ever forward never KeepitOn
Awon oloriburuku, extra tire is talking 😂😂😂
We are the once who ought to pay them because we use their platform for free!! You stay connected for free mennnn
Anything that benefits the poor is heavily taxed, other countries even provide free wifi to their citizens. We're indeed in a fix.
Imagine all the countries impose taxes in SM.... This govt lacks creativity. Company wey no dey here. Oya impose tax on Google play store too.
Fool for nothing 🤭🤭🤭
They're looking for possible ways of generating more money to loot as 2023 approaches
Lol... Divide Nigeria! And then, do whatever you want with your Nigeria
Joke Govt. They will not follow recent update. Last week The G-7 Nations Agree To Make Big Tech Companies Pay Their Fair Share Of Taxes to even countries where they’ve no physical office but makes sales. There are modules ongoing to solve this. Go face other tangible issues.
This is what happens when a NEPA BILL holder is leading a professor in law... Crazy talk !!! ( Rest on ABAMI EDA)
. Every step, decision you pple take will lead to your quick exit from power. God has cursed you people.
Time will tell. The will regret the day the messed up with social media. Let them go and ask Trump.
… and who do you think will pay it? The businesses using and indirectly the people of Nigeria so you are not punishing them but your citizens. … but what does abolish know

I hope YouTube, Google, Gmail, Yahoo are included too
How about YouTube, Google, Yahoo and gmail? They're looking at ways to make money so they can refund their disbursed borrowed money abi. God will punish this present administration separately. Even devil will deal with them in hell fire
Govt should focus on the job creation benefits than taxing virtual platforms. Buy share from them instead. they did not force anybody connect/chat . FG is displaying too much ignorance of the cyberspace.
Do they have offices in Nigeria? Why didn't they charge 2go?
