@techfortified@sgyemikale Anyways, from recent conversations, I understand that Capital Gains Tax CGT serves this purpose already, that the target is for FX inflows that are not traceable to any transaction such that the gains are not taxed under CGT
@techfortified@sgyemikale Yeah there are concerns about that.. however, if the seller does such, the final price at which he sells would determine the basis for the computation. You can call it a tax on tax.
@Jaypeekaye@sgyemikale Correct BDCs are licensed but in my opinion, they are treated as outcasts. A proper integration is required, we need to properly bring them under the watchful eyes of the CBN.. set up policies that require them to report their trades, inflows and outflows
@sgyemikale The expected pushbacks could be hoarding that will further drive up price. However, if we legalise BDCs and put them on a platform, we can track unscrupulous activities. #justsaying
@sgyemikale If the tax is on the marginal diference btwn d CBN rate and the Parallel rate, then it could work. Eg. If CBN rate is 750 and you sell at 850 (Parallel) the tax will be on the 100 diference say 5% of the 100. It will discourage using Parallel rate.
@FinPlanKaluAja1 Whenever I see policymakers trying to apply textbook policies to solve our economic problems, I remember Rostow's growth model... for a traditional society like ours that is yet to attain the precondition for growth... these basic policies won't work
