Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma, and the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Mr Babatunde Fowler, on Tuesday said the Federal Government was considering an upward review of the Value Added Tax by 50 per cent.

Udoma and Fowler who stated this on Tuesday when they appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance, said the increment was to, among others, enable the Federal Government to fund the new national minimum wage.


Fowler, who said the FIRS’ goal was to achieve an N8trn revenue generation target this year, also said the 50 per cent increment would affect the Company Income Tax and the Petroleum Profit Tax.

Why can’t they focus on the rich to pay more taxes than pouring their angers on poor citizens

Why can't FG and the law makers(politicians) propose a slash in their salaries  by 3% only?I guess that'll bring in more money than increasing VAT by 50%.Biscuits,bread,satchet water,cigarettes and alcohol are already expensive,how more expensive do you want it to get by increasing VAT?
