Gowon Tasks Tax Practitioners on Awareness Campaign
Thisday, May 13 2011
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon has urged taxation professionals in the country to increase the tempo of tax awareness campaigns across the country with a view to making Nigerians see the need for them to pay
their taxes in good time.
He gave this charge at the ongoing three-day Annual Tax Conference organised by the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN) in Abuja Thursday.
According to him, tax policies are meaningless unless the people see the need to pay their taxes, adding that after paying their taxes, they would in turn demand for their rights.
“It is one thing to have a well-thought through tax system, it is another to have the people willingly buy into it. What this means is that there must also be well thought-through public awareness programmes to enlighten the people on the inherent advantages of paying their taxes and promptly too.
Gowon charged the professionals to raise the tempo of tax awareness campaigns, which according to him would empower the people to demand for the delivery of dividends of democracy from the ruling class.
“This is one area where CITN also has a crucial role to play, for it is when you help spread the work on the need for people to pay their taxes that the work that your members do in or out of government can be appreciated beyond mere
collection and disbursement. “When the people see and understand what you do, they become your advocates.
When they cooperate and pay their taxes, they become aware. When they cooperate and pay their taxes, they are better able to hold government to account. When government is held to account, by the people, public officers become more circumspect and more responsible in the disbursement of public fund.
With circumspection and fiscal responsibility come projects that are more beneficial for the good of the greater number,” Gowon stressed.

ThisDay, April 20 2011
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
Chairman of the Lagos State Inland Revenue Service (LIRS), Mr. Babatunde Fowler said that taxpayers in the state got better values in return for the taxes they paid to the state government in the last four years.

Fowler stated this in a chat with THISDAY shortly after delivering a paper at the tax seminar organized by Saffron Professional Services Limited in Lagos yesterday.
He said taxpayers in the state have confirmed that they were happy with the state government because they have received more values for taxes paid in the last four years.
“If you ask me of my own assessment, taxpayers in the state and I believe if you ask them they will also confirm that. Also at the annual stakeholders’ conference, they said that they were happy paying their taxes to the state government,” he said.
Reviewing on the improvements in the tax environment in the state under Governor Fashola, the Chairman said it has improved tremendously. Tax compliance has certainly improved because the governor knows the importance of tax payment. He has plans and visions for Lagos and he knows the role that tax needs to play in giving access to the Lagos State government in terms of funding.

Tax Evasion: Lagos Closes 546 Companies
Thisday, September 13 2010
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) said it shut 546 companies over tax evasion between August 2009 and August.
The Head of the enforcement team, Mrs. Afolashade Afolayan, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos yesterday that the companies defaulted in the remittance of over N5 billion as taxes.
Afolayan said that the taxes included Personal Income Tax and Company Tax.
“It is the civic responsibility of everybody to pay taxes promptly to the state coffers. Government can only be functional and effective if all tax payers voluntarily remit taxes to the state coffers as at when due without hesitation,” she added.
Afolayan said since the action was carried out on the organizations, 507 had cleared their outstanding liabilities and had been re-opened.
The team leader said that the remaining 39 companies with liabilities of over N930 million were still closed.
Afolayan said that while 335 of the companies belonged to the manufacturing and service sectors, 211 were in the hotel and tourism sector.
She said that LIRS action was backed by Section 104 of the Personal Income Tax law (PITA) 2004, which empowers the agency to close any defaulting organization.
“Several notices and correspondences had been sent to the companies asking them to pay their outstanding taxes but to no avail. It is a criminal offence to evade taxes; henceforth anybody found guilty of this will face the law,” the official said.
She said that to entrench a strong tax system in the state, the government expected all stakeholders to live up to their responsibilities.
The official said the agency did not arbitrarily close down companies over tax default without prior notices and stressed that closure was the only alternative after necessary correspondences had failed to ensure compliance.
She, however, urged corporate organizations and other tax defaulters having issues with their taxes not to wait till sanctions were enforced on them before coming forward to resolve them.

Non Remittance Tax’s Crippling Economy
Thisday , July 23, 2010
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
Holding on to taxes deducted from workers salary by employers of labour has been described as one of the major problems confronting revenue collector in the country.
Chairman, Lagos state Board of internal Revenue (LBIRS), Mr. Babatunde Fowler, disclosed at the unveiling of the agency’s tax campaigns in Lagos. He lamented that many business owners are deliberately inhibiting the economy by not remitting the taxes deducted from workers’ salary.
Speaking further on why Nigerians should be more forthcoming in payment of tax, he pointed out that what the country is getting from oil revenue is not stable and that government at all levels need internally generated revenue to complement whatever incoming from the federation account.
“During the recent conference of the chartered Institute of Taxation in Abuja, the minister of National Planning gave us some figures which revealed that the total oil revenue accrued to the country in 2009 was N3.2 trillion, against the N6.5 trillion received in 2008.
“This clearly showed that the oil revenue want down by 50 per cent in the year under review . Naturally, this implies that the allocation received by the various states in 2009, were reduced by close to 50 per cent, when put side by side with what they got in 2009. “
The chairman, who also disclosed that only 20 companies out of hundred firms in Lagos State were remitting taxes to government as at when due, described the action of some employers being unpatriotic.
Speaking on why the media campaign was refreshed, the new production, which aimed at establishing the essence of tax payment across all strata of the society, will run concurrently with. I pay tax, which was launched last year.
According to him, LIRS has been able to create considered awareness through the various campaigns rolled out last year, and has decided not to allow the tempo to go down.

Before appending the bill, the governor told local council chairmen and members of the state Executive Council present that the bill was proposed after listening to the complaints of the people.
He said: “We needed to demonstrate that we are serious in addressing the complaints of our people, especially because of the misgivings arising from activities of touts. Citizens who we are supposed to protect have become object of harassment by people who do not have our man-date.”
The law put an end to road block and establishes a state joint Revenue Committee, comprising local council chairmen and state officials, which will annually fix the rates of the approved levies.
Failure to observe the law will attract different levies of penalties ranging from N500, 000 fines to three years imprisonment for various offences like touting, collection of levies without remittance, and collection of rates higher than prescribed.
The law, which the state House of Assembly passed recently, has 15 sections and one schedule which contained the 16 levies collectible by the local councils and the administration of the levies.

FASHOLA: We’re Not Taxing Churches, Mosques
The Punch, July 22, 2009
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
Religious leaders yesterday unanimously agreed with the Lagos State Government that it is indeed constitutional, right and proper for the state to ask religious leaders to fulfil their individual tax obligations to the state just as Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN) reiterated that the administration is not taxing Churches and Mosques.
The Religious leaders expressed total support for the Government of Lagos on the need for all concerned to fulfil their tax obligations saying both the Quran and the Holy Bible supported the action, while it was resolved that a small group be set up to examine identified grey areas which should not effect the implementation of the non-contentious areas of the Law
Governor Fashola who spoke at the Banquet Hall of the Lagos House, Ikeja, Venue of the Meeting attended by leaders of the various bodies of the two main religions urged the leaders to improve the awareness of the adherents on best practices elsewhere.
The Religious leaders, he said, can help in creating awareness by preaching to followers on how some of the ways cities visited have been making headways in infrastructure development.
Said he: “We should all realise that religion is not just about faith but a totality of life”. Our religious leaders should help to improve awareness of the people by looking closely at how these communities we visit during pilgrimages manage their wastes, make their cities so clean and ensure that public transportation works”.
“Our religious pilgrimages to foreign land must also include cultural and social diets and not restricted to only religious diets. We must make conscious effort to know about what obtain there and let our people know. Some of the issues are purely attitudinal and not spiritual”, Governor Fashola added.
Governor Fashola who expressed appreciation to the religious leaders for understanding and empathizing with the Government on reasons for implementing the law, added that it should be realized that there are no perfect laws anywhere as man himself who drafted the laws is imperfect

Lagos Taxpayers to Get Free Refuse Cans
The Punch, April 2 2009
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
The Lagos state Government has said that taxpayers in the state will henceforth be entitled to free refuse cans.
The state said less than three per cent of its residents had adequate refuse storage cans which was why illegal dumping of refuse was still a common trend.
The General Manager of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority, Mr. Ola Oresanya, disclosed this when the agency paid a visit to the headquarters of Punch Nigeria Limited in Lagos on Tuesday.
According to Oresanya, apart from rewarding taxpayers, the initiative is also a way of keeping the environment clean at all times.
He said residents of the state would be compelled to own the 240-liters refuse storage cans while taxpayers would get it free.
He said, LAWMA is convinced that environmental management is crucial to the physical and mental wellbeing of the people. We have a strong a desire to sensitise residents about the authority’s planned aggressive and elaborate waste management campaign.
“In the last three years, we have been able to increase the number of waste disposal trucks to 600 while we intend to have 800 by the year 2010.
“We have procured over 3,000 refuse bins which we positioned in strategic places to mitigate the horrible habit of illegal dumping of refuse”
Oresanya said in the last three years, the agency had ensured that stench and emissions at its disposal sites became a thing of the past as deodorizers and iodisers had been installed in all sites.
He said, “Our zero waste initiative programmed is on course. 10 per cent of the waste generated in the state is converted to fertilizer which is used to support our greenery programme”

Lagos Warns tax Defaulters, Pledges better services
The Guardian, March 10, 2009
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
Tax defaulters or evaders in Lagos state may be heading for a collision course with the state government. The state government, which is set to check the excess of tax evaders and defaulters, has appealed to patriotic residents to provide useful information about companies and individuals that are involved in the act.
In a statement made available to the Guardian, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele, said such information would enable the government recoup the money and increase its revenue profile to provide better services to the public.
Bamidele said mobilizing funds from taxes was part of the government’s strategy at growing the economy despite the global economy meltdown and the reduction in the state’s allocation from the Federation Account.
He said : ‘’The Lagos State administration is determined to provide basic socio-economic infrastructure such as goods roads, potable water, energy, effective mass transportation system and a safety net for the vulnerable to create the material condition for the growth of small- scale industries and the stimulation of foreign investment.’’
Bamidele explained that Governor Babatunde Fashola administration had been proactive right from its inauguration by basing 75 per cent of the 2008 and 2009 on internally generated revenue.
The commissioner stressed the need for members of the public, especially corporate organisations, to discharge their civic responsibility to the people.
He, therefore ,called on members of the public who have been paying taxes to their to their employers and were yet to be given tax cards to make such observation known to government, assuring them that such information would be treated with utmost confidentiality.
According to him, ‘’such actions will be to the benefit of the public. It will also enable government to have better financial capability to provide necessary facilities.’’
He decided a situation where employer deducts Pay As You Earn (PAYE) taxes from their employees without remitting it to government.
The commissioner also advised those who were convinced that they were being overtaxed to lodge their complaints with the appropriate authorities for investigation and amendment when necessary.

We’ve not increased tenement rate- LASG
The Punch, March 5, 2009
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
The Lagos State Government has said that it does not intend to review upwards the tenement rate this year, contrary to speculations that it may have hiked it due to reduction in federal allocation to the state.
Reacting to landlords’ complaints of high charges on their residence by the state’s Land Use Department, an official of the department told the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Lagos that the department was very transparent in its dealings with the public.
‘’To affirm the department’s transparency with the people, a paper with information on rates has been published and is available to be perused by interested landlords.
‘’The department has no intention of increasing charges. The state charges less than five per cent for non commercial buildings per year,’’ he said.
According to him, commercial buildings pay 6.25 per cent of tenement rate; non commercial buildings pay 0.15 percent; while owner-occupier pays 3.04 per cent.
He wondered why some landlords are complaining, since the state’s tenement rates are moderate.
"For instance in Lekki, some owner-occupiers pay N20, 000, while some pay N40, 000. So it varies", he said. (NAN)
Ailegun, Ejibo, Lagos state: On behalf of the residents of the above-named area, which has been in a sorry state for long time, I appeal to Governor Babatunde Fashola to ask the caretaker LCDA to fix access road linking Ikotun-Egbe and Isheri-Ijegun roads. This road has not experienced the touch of any government for the over 20 years that I have been living here. So, Dear Governor, please come to our rescue as the rains are here again.

Tax Payment Necessary For Infrastructure Provisions -LIRS
The Punch, February 25, 2009
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
The Lagos State Inland Revenue Service (LIRS) has explained that all eligible tax payers must honour their tax obligations to the various tiers of government; as a condition under which citizens of any state can expect abundant supply of social goods and services from their government. Chairman of LIRS, Mr. Babatunde Fowler, stated this when the top management of the revenue agency paid a courtesy visit to the member of the council of Obas and chiefs in Ikeja division; adding that this would allow any state to live up to its mandate. The tax authority also presented the Electronic Tax Clearance Certificate (e-TCC) to the royal fathers in the course of the visit. Speaking at the ceremony, Fowler said for any state to live up to its billing in the area of provision of social amenities and infrastructures, every citizen should pay relevant taxes to the various tiers of government in that state. The chairman encouraged the traditional rulers to assist the government in educating their people on the need for them to pay tax when due. “Taxes are veritable sources of revenue in Lagos State needed for sustainable development” he stressed. According to him, tax enlightenment programmes are meant to sensitize residents and citizens across Nigeria on the need for them to honour their financial obligations to the state. “These are to bring about equity and redistribution of income whereby the rich are made to pay more tax than the poor based on the Pay as You Earn (PAYE)”. Fowler also lamented the impact of the current global financial crisis on internally generated revenue (IGR) in the state, confirming that it has caused a reduction in tax compliance to 34 percent, which turn may lead to reduction in provision of basic infrastructure for the residents in the state. LIRS also showcased some development projects embarked upon by the administration of Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN) as evidence of how the state government is utilizing tax proceeds for the common good. It also presented e_TCC to Oba Rauf Adeniyi, a confirmation that the royal father ha been honouring his tax obligations to the state government. Speaking at the occasion, the Olu of Ikeja, Oba Rauf Adeniyi Amore who doubles as chairman of the council of Obas and Chiefs in Ikeja division, encouraged his colleagues to join in the grassroots tax sensitization programme put in palce by the state government. He also asked the tradition rulers to support government tax payment drive in order to promote easy delivery of social infrastructure ; including healthcare, good transportation system, better waste management and qualitative education for residents in the state.

Residents grapple with e-TCC scheme
The Punch, February 13, 2009
|
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
Despite the desire of the Lagos State Government to ensure the residents who pay their taxes when due obtain the Electronic Tax Clearance Certificate, the e-TCC scheme is far from being realized, an investigation has shown. Our correspondents gathered that some tax payers had had to pay through their noses and in some cases, offer inducement to obtain the e-TCC. It was learnt that tax invaders who were willing to pay an agreed amount, to middlemen could sometimes, secure the tax clearance certificate. The state Government had introduced the document to the old paper and manually processed tax clearance certificate. It was conceived by the Government to remove the abuses, which characterized the administration of the old TCC in the state. The certificate, which is a form of smartcard, is a means of identification in all transactions in the state. It was learnt that the State government also reached an agreement with foreign embassies to demand e-TCC from residents of the state seeking visa. But a resident, Mr. Ade Ajao said he was shocked on Tuesday when he visited a scheme office at the lands bureau of the state government to make enquiries about the items required to make the certificate of occupancy for his land in the state. He was told that among other things, he would need the electronic tax clearance certificate issued by the state to those who paid tax. Ajao informed the scheme officer that he paid tax every month as his employer usually deducted it from his income, and that he would go and request for his certificate. The officer told him that if he needed to fast track the issuance of the certificate he would have to pay N60, 000 and settle some officials who will issue it for N10, 000. Though he refused to pay the money and opted to notify his employer to assist him to obtain the card, some other lagosians, have had to cough about N50, 000 each to get the electronic tax clearance certificates. Another residents, (name withheld¬) said he had to get e-TCC prior to the general election because he contested for a political office. According to him his wife who works at a consulting firm responsible for collecting tax on behalf of state government collected the electronic tax clearance certificate for him at the rate of N50, 000 despite his not being a regular tax payer. “I have not paid tax to the state government since I came back from America in 2003”. Most of income is generated from the profit I make from goods that I bring in from America and resell here. A female worker with one firm said “There is a way we do it, we bring out the tax certificate for people. They fill the form and we tip one or two people who pay as much as N50, 000 or even N70, 000 but who do not get the electronic card. They only get a receipt to show that they do not owe the Government tax. However those who do not want to go to the embassies, especially the British high commission, always insist on getting the cards. Those who succeed on getting the cards have to renew them with a minimum of N30, 000 or more depending on the member of staff who got it for them and the number of people involved. However, the Managing Director, Alpha Beta Consulting, Mr. Michael Ogunmola, said the e-TCC was free. According to him, non-Pay as You Earn applicant could undergo the self assessment exercise by filling the necessary form at any of the designated bank to know how much they are to remit to the state Government. Ogunmola said, “The e-TCC is free”. If any official of the state Government ask you to pay for it report such a person to the police station. Officials of the lands bureau have been asked to start wearing name tags, so note their names and report them to the government. “It is a simple process”. If you pay tax through the pay as you earn basis, your employer gives you the form H1 which you fill; you keep a copy which is form H2. If you have been paying tax, your data would already have been captured in our data bank and you get your certificate within 72 hours. “We have instructed all employers to submit their employees H1 forms before the end of March so that those employees who qualify for the e-TCC can get it.” He said anybody who had questions could walk into any of the tax stations for the necessary information. He said it was only pensioners who fulfill their obligations while in service that were exempted and the e-TCC was updated automatically depending on changes in the employee’s income details. A top official in the lands bureau who spoke on condition of anonymity however said, “Officials of bureaus are not supposed to get the tax clearance certificate for people. If you want the certificate, walk into any of the tax stations to get the necessary details. When people do not approach the right people for official matters, they end up getting swindled or getting swindled or getting fake documents, just like the fake drivers’ license. If you really need the tax clearance certificate, go to the tax station.
