Nawa o! Nigerians should get ready for VAT increase- Fowler



Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) has on Tuesday added to the suffering of  Nigerians by increasing Value Added Tax (VAT).

Presently, Value Added Tax (VAT) is 5 percent.

From the statement made the chairman of FIRS, Mr Babatunde Fowler, Nigeria taxing will spring from between 6.2 to 7.2%.

I wonder how Nigerians could cope with this, in this present economic inballance.

Well, most Nigerians will tell you that this present government do not care about the hardship they are passing through.

If you look at the statement made by Mr Fowler, "FIRS is trying to meet it's 2019 revenue generation target of N8 trillion, there is an aorta of truth in what Nigerians are assuming.

Though the agency is looking at the N30,000 minimum wage approval by the senate to Federal and states Nigerian workers, with this present economic status, this is not obtainable.

[video] China releases a cartoon to mock US over it's accusations

China releases a bizarre Lego-like cartoon, mocking US COVID-19 response after the communist country has been criticized by the US president Donald Trump, for allegedly poor handling of the health crisis.  While China has reported no fatalities from the virus in the country over the past week, the white House has accused China of concealing vital data about the pandemic during it's initial stage, and therefore ordered an investigation into reports that COVID-19 had been caused by an accident at Wuhan institute of virology.  In a short video clip posted by China's official news agency Xinhua, the Chinese slammed the accusation against them, claiming that the US was inconsistent at various stages of the pandemic. Once Upon a Virus, #China responds to the #USA with a cartoon. Thank you @XHNews pic.twitter.com/KcMkvzHilW — tim anderson (@timand2037) April 30, 2020
