Is It Proper For Alpha Beta to Get Fixed Cut of Lagos Tax Revenue?

Considering how taxes are paid, the process of receiving a N10 million tax into the state coffer is similar to the process of receiving a N1,000 tax.
Why should a consultant get a cut of 10% for both transactions thereby banking N1million for the bigger tax and just N100 for the smaller tax.

The cut of Apha Beta as a consultant is suppose to be a flat fee if it is to be done on a transaction amount basis.

That's is a heist to say the least, it should have been one payoff contract.It can only happen in Nigeria where corruption walks on four legs.

Johnjustice:
Mumu, all nations round the world work with consultants or concession companies. Alpha beta is a consultant for various institutions not just Lagos state government, consultants get a commission, in the case of concession, there are defined agreements. Do you know a Nigerian man owns the consultant company that runs Heathrow airport?

If not for alpha beta, Lagos state government tax will be ending up in the hands of corrupt civil service staff, and government officials, Lagos state would not be able to have enough IGR revenue to carry out expensive projects, like deep sea ports, red line, blue line, free trade zone, Eko Atlantic etc. Stop dishing out false information, this is the problem with naira, any dummy can post a topic. What alpha beta is doing is management/consultancy services. What's important is that alpha beta is helping the state boost IGR, by efficiently helping to harness and process it's tax asset.

Hoelujohn:

Will you support another company that can promise increase revenue generation and reduction in commission by over 70%?

Johnjustice:

Come out with your full chest, post your phone number, if you can defend this brazen lie of yours. You are a stupid liar, alpha beta receives within 10/15%, normal range of management and consultancy fees. Post proof of your stupid lies. Stupid ipob propangandists.

Hoelujohn:

Read my comment very well. I said there are other companies that will be willing to collect 3-5%.

Johnjustice:

Stop talking rubbish, 10% is not bad, it's more about their contribution. Before alpha beta came into the picture, the state was making only 500million yearly from taxes, Alpha beta brought efficiency and blocked leakages, companies and cooperations run societies, influential people get contracts, the most important thing is that alpha beta is doing a good job. Please advise your barren state, I think Lagos is doing way better. You clowns should focus and advice your states. Check IGR of states in Nigeria, Lagos is not your business.

Why does REMITA and banks charge you for payment?

CodeTemplar:
to cover running cost and make profit. Your JSS3 Busuness Studies or SS1 Economics class should have taught you that.

What I am after is collecting a fixed percentage as against a flat rate.

seanfer:
OP would prefer the situation in states like Anambra, Oyo, Bayelsa where thugs are the ones collecting revenue on behalf of the government.

Femmyfamous4u:


It all depends on agreements.

CodeTemplar:
agreements aren't aren't always fair to the state govt as there is a real possibility of collusion, sabotage or outright conspiracy by representatives of the fog structure to milk the people. The fairness of that agreement is what a raised a question on.

CodeTemplar:
Even if I was from the region where Ipob was active, it still doesn't overrideghe fact that residents of Lagos are those affected irrespective of tribe. Accountability isn't for perceived locals alone but taxpaying residents.

Femmyfamous4u:


You're right. It can be negotiated better.

CodeTemplar:
Use your brain if you have one and it us working.

Collecting a percentage of tax irrespective of effort it took to receive it is unfair.
It doesn't take more effort to receive a N100m tax than a N1m tax.

This comment only shows that you have no understanding of how incentives work. If AlphaBeta (or any other such consultancy) were being paid a flat rate, what incentive would they have to do more than the bare minimum required to earn that rate? Why do you think salesmen are paid on a commission basis?

seanfer:


Use your brain make research, other states are using the service of consultants, but you have issues because it is lagos... FG has been using remita for years.

CodeTemplar:
incentive in saner places are the one paying the tax and not a mere consultant managing tax collection.

Femmyfamous4u:
It's called consultancy. I need to know who owns REMITA as well . As most FG payment is done through It.
