@MasterBolaji I view our inflation as a cost-push, not demand-pull as purchasing power is low. CBN’s 27.5% rate appears to target the symptoms, not root causes. @MAN_NGR claim its members capacity underutilized. Shouldn’t we focus on economies of scale & tackling challenges? @grok your take?

[Segun Ajayi-Kadir, mni @Ajayi_Kadir]

1/7 The painful passing of our former leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, marks the end of the journey of an enigma. He had the uncommon privilege of presiding over the affairs of Nigeria for about 10 years, in the capacity of a military and later a civilian leader.

Eternal goodbye is a solemn reminder of the fleeting nature of life. Rest in peace Ma Gaskiya

If waste can become wealth, should we be banning or managing it better?

With the plan to ban SUP's of less than 40 microns in Lagos State, what happens to jobs, investments & recycling efforts? And what sustainable packaging alternatives are we adopting?

Inadequate financing, multiple tax burdens, and the heavy toll of inconsistent government policies.

When a nation fails its factories, it puts its development on pause.

A once-thriving factory now lies still, its machines silent, its footfalls faded, searching for life elsewhere.

But thriving factories are few, and even they struggle to welcome new hands.

The dreams that once powered this place have dimmed, suffocated by lack of raw materials,

@sweet_alexis82 You are absolutely right

[salamitenten @Salamiten]

Yet, beyond the water and wood, what remains most palpable is the joy, pure, unshaken, and radiating through its people.

Fully adorned in vibrant African prints, they struck a pose the moment our canoe paddled their way, anticipating the click of a lens.

Makoko continues to draw a steady stream of visitors, each coming to witness the layered stories that define this floating community.

Manufacturing holds a special place in human progress.
When it thrives, jobs are created, value is added, and well-being is assured.

THE VAT REFORM PROPOSAL

The Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee's proposal is to reduce the VAT rate to zero per cent (0%) on food, health, education, and exemption for rent, transportation, and small businesses. Data by the NBS shows that these are the areas where the average household spends almost all their income, meaning their VAT burden will reduce.

The upward rate adjustment is on non essential items to partly offset the impact of the reduction in rate and exemption for essential items ensuring that the masses are protected, and providing some cushion for states who earn 85% of VAT revenue.

Businesses will also get full credit for the VAT they pay on their assets and services, thereby lowering their overall costs and moderating inflation.

See further comparison below:

CURRENT VAT REGIME

1. Many essential items constituting 82% of the total consumption of an average household attract VAT while some are exempt.
2. Other forms of consumption taxes exist in some states in addition to VAT.
3. Businesses are unable to recover VAT on their assets and services, thereby increasing their costs, which they pass on to consumers.
4. Many small businesses are required to charge VAT on their sales.
5. VAT refunds require extensive tax audits and take a long time to process.
6. Sharing of VAT revenue to and among states is contentious.
7. Export of services and intellectual properties bear VAT making their export less attractive.

PROPOSED VAT REGIME

1. Zero (0%) VAT on food, education, healthcare. Exempt rent, transport, etc. Increase rate on non-essential items to partly offset reduction on essential items.
2. Discontinue with other consumption taxes and charge only VAT where applicable.
3. All businesses will be able to recover VAT on their assets and services, thereby lowering their overall costs and reducing inflation.
4. Over 97% of SMEs will be exempted from charging VAT on their sales.
5. VAT refunds will be faster without the need for extensive tax audits to help business cash flow.
6. Sharing of VAT revenue to and among states to be more equitable.
7. Export of services and intellectual properties will attract 0% VAT to facilitate export growth.

Do you support the proposed VAT reform outlined above?
