His words: How does the govt plan to bring many Nigerians out of poverty when the struggling masses, neck-deep in poverty, are being overtaxed. The income & living standards of citizens of other countries that pay much taxes can’t be compared to that of Nigerians.
The Federal Government has received several knocks from political heavyweights, celebrities and the general masses over its plan to increase the tax burden on Nigerians by increase in VAT, and proposed Tax on data and air time purchased from telecommunications companies.
