For Your Information, The Federal Government Of Nigeria Is Considering Passing A Bill Called The Communication Service Tax CST Bill Into Law. The Bill Which Seeks To Levy 9% On Subscribers For The Use Of The Various Communication Services.
This country called Nigeria is already experiencing tough economic hardship, economic recession and the truth remain increase in taxation will reduce consumption pattern of Consumers. Everything is on the high side right now.

I am not in supports of this bill at all… This is hardship redefine… Will you as a subscriber willing to pay 9% tax on calls you make, SMS you send and data you use in browsing?
Meanwhile, The Services Includes, Voice Call, SMS, MMS, Data Usage From Telecommunication Service Providers, Internet Service Providers And Pay TV Stations. Your opinion is needed here!!!
Thanks for sharing this update. But I don't think this is the way forward for Nigeria. The goddamn government cabinets should look into this.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine myself paying 9% back to ISP, TSP and co. Even when they have in abundance?
Arrant nonsense! If this isn't reverted before executed, I'm sure Nigerians would protest against this. Leaving a forever stained image in Buhari's government even if all and sundry settled.
I drop my pen here.
Weldone Emmanuel Moore, nice blog you got here. I am Taiwo, a citizen of Nigeria as well.
Cheers!
