Good policy but politically motivated. This is going to affect TechBros whose taxes are deducted at source. This will amount to double taxation if they have to show tax clearance to withdraw.

Mehn, living in Nigeria should be classified as an extreme sport.

Remote workers are not taxed at source.

Like me now assuming I want to fund my dollar prepaid card, and I get some dollars ftm outside, go into the bank, will I need to present the certificate before they deposit the dollars??

Lifestone:
We are getting there gradually. Nigerians don't pay direct tax so they couldn't feel the impact. I'm sure with this, nobody will teach us to vote responsible leaders into positions, nobody will mobilize us to chase out corrupt leaders and nobody will mobilize us to expect good performance from government that have taken so much from us but has given us so little

Why should Nigerians pay taxes to corrupt governments?

Buhari4sale:
Emiefele and jail is becoming more friendly

If Bobo Chicago enter power he go hear am.

Buhari through Godwin emefiele is doing well

These fools are raving mad the high VAT and indirect tax isn’t enough now they wanna start taxing people in the informal sector and SMEs who are already struggling to get by and find a good footing to make it worse you want someone who wants to pay school fees to get tax clearance for 3yrs?lol

Double and heavy taxation just to fund the wasteful lifestyles of these polithieficians and pen pushers they just keep pushing their luck and don’t know when to stop honestly.

No. You only need one when you're sending out.

tax don't get deducted if you work for foreign companies because Nigeria has no tax treaty with most tech nations like the US.

yahoodetector:
Even though I may not like Emefiele but anything to frustrate the gimmicks that the broom party will try to play as per bribing to get votes is welcomed

Kid! None of Emefiele policies will affect ruling party. It will affect other political parties only.

U did not even praise him an inch but attacked immediately ,yet u have likes, ......oga, u re a satanist, and for people like you that liked ur comment, I pity Nigeria, for kinds of inhabitants in Nigeria.

I think it is a good policy. U see,Truth be told,majority who criticise d CBN governor knows in d debt of their heart that it is aimed at bringing citizens to do their civic obligation or u call it responsibilitiy. For instance,if u dont have any business with Domiciliary account or transaction,wetin cincern u? It is a way of saying,to whom much is giving(those who earn in hard currencies) should also pay in proportion to d tune of what they earn(much is expected). D only reservation I have in all these,is that d economy doesn't encourage husslers,especially those who don't do fraud business. D economy is too harsh! Even hinest people are tempted 2 do wrong things,when they are frustrated,by harsh economic background. U know,in this country,Poverty is a default setting. Haba! Let start creating d enabling environment by ourselves,by voting d right people to public offices,especially in this forth coming election in 2023.

You mean tax get deducted, cos I've been paying more than $600/month as tax to the US government since July 2021.
We don't have tax treaty with the US.

This news is only available at Nairaland. Probably a fake news.

Problem isn't paying tax, it's the government misusing it. For instance, imo state government donated more than 25 brand new air conditioned buses to Tinubu campaign. From state money o. Tax payers money.
Think about the rubbish

Please how do I get my tax clearance certificate as an employee of a private company in Nigeria. My monthly tax is deducted from my salary.
Please enlighten me, thanks.

The next step to the burial of what is left of the economy.

Remote workers are not taxed at source.

Says who? FTE remote workers can have tax deductions at source. Plus what is the government taxing them for? I’ve had to drop a huge sum buying new inverter batteries (that had VAT) . Pay an atrocious sum for Internet. And the government that has not provided any infrastructure to make my work easy want to tax me extra because I be remote worker? They should just prepare for lower remittances because dem no know say that fx income na hin dey keep many families afloat for Naija

Is it only bankers? When one shoots an ant with an elephant gun, innocent people get hurt.

While you say the government is trying to get citizens to perform their civic responsibilities, has the government fulfilled their own responsibilities?

No. I think this applies to those who need dollar at official rate

bdon123:
Omo emiefele is choking all illgal money peddlers.It affects me alot bt i support it.

I seriously doubt it affects you at all.

Wait, Iif I want to withdraw USD in cash from my domiciliary account, would this requirement apply?

How can you be taxed when you're not legally employed in that country? To be taxed you'd have to be on a proper work permit/work visa.

What paperwork would the company file on your behalf when you dont have a legal identity there??

I've been doing this for many years as an FTE with well established companies and i have never ever heard of companies taxing remote workers.

That's fraud straight up.

Correct We do not have a tax treaty with the US. That I know of. I think you are supposed to be required by your employer to fill out a tax exemption form. Can't remember what it's called wether w2 or w3 form where you will select what country you reside at. I believe once you select Nigeria you are not supposed to pay any tax. Take my statement with. Pinch of salt. Please do your own research it's been longed I did anything tax in tradfi
