In summary, the education tax, telecoms tax, a new tax on imports from non-African countries and the removal of waivers, among other levies, dominate the bill. Although the Buhari regime might collect more revenue than before, the Act seems like economic brinkmanship.
Economists argue that government should not increase tax during economic downturn but the bill, which Buhari set aside on the day he assented to the N21.83 trillion 2023 Appropriation Act, has jerked up the Tertiary Education Tax from 2.5 per cent to 3.0 per cent. This tax must be a honeypot for the government: the TET was raised from 2.0 per cent to 2.5 per cent in the Finance Act 2021.
Instead of his lethargy, Buhari should cast his gaze afield for guidance. In Asia, the average statutory corporate tax rate is 19.52 per cent, which The Tax Foundation, a Washington, DC-based organisation describes as the lowest globally by region. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development average CIT rate is 23.57 per cent. The BRICS average statutory rate is 27.40 per cent.
I will not be surprised if you people have truly sold Nigeria and we don't know.. Those are the things we see when the w!cked rules.
