The Federal Government has foregone N16.76tn in revenue to tax reliefs and concessions given to large companies between 2019 and 2021, according to findings by The PUNCH.

He added, “Tax is a fiscal tool and fiscal tools are used to stimulate economic activities or discourage certain harmful or inappropriate economic activities.

He noted that tax incentives were necessary to encourage investment and the establishment of some pioneer businesses. He said, “The issue here is how transparent it is. The problem we have is who and who are given the tax waivers and how transparent they are. It is good to give tax waivers, especially to pioneer industries to enable them to start.”

He further questioned why the small and medium-scale businesses, which were the real job creators in the economy, were not provided with waivers. “However, incentives must be properly designed and targeted to be meaningful while the government must periodically review incentive schemes to ensure they are still relevant and provide value for money. For instance, the N16tn tax for the last three years includes VAT exemption on basic food items which is necessary given the level of poverty and rising food inflation.”

Yet animals and scavengers in the National Assembly can only see things wrong with ASUU'S genuine strike action.

In this economy crisis? I know FIRS official collected brown envelop for the waive

Asuu is on strike oooo..these people....my God

Nigeria dept, shikina!

I hope it crashes the price of flour soon !

Enough money to fund 2023 budget,the Buharimeter

The atrocities of APC is unmatched.

Few chosen ones, what of the youths ?. God will punish all of una generation for being so wicked to the poor masses.

Apartheid business policies

How much is ASUU demanding again?

Federal enjoyment.

FG that's heavily indebted is granting waiver. Dangote just they enjoy his brothers grace

Tax cut for companies that were set up with public funds

It's unfortunate that blind people are leaders in Nigeria

Thieves

If Pasta prices no reduce after this, you know say God go pnish your papa

That's almost Nigeria's entire budget for 2023

How much is our budget for 2022 again

SMEs aren't granted waiver but made to pay for the sustenance of big businesses & also we owe foreign & local debts. Funny enough, owners of SMEs are supporting this APC APC of a thing.

Really? ASUU IS ON STRIKE.

This is grossly unfair.

Still yet we go dey buy cement for 4k ooh, God help us in this country

After they will say he is the richest man in Africa . Fulani cannot run a positive economy !!!

IT'S EXPECTED! By implication, the prices of bread, cement and other household/food items will crash by the same margin, soon. NOTE: We're in election year. Dangote crashed the price of cement in the previous election year under President Goodluck Jonathan.

And ASUU is on strike , maka chi these almajiris don't value education . They want u all to be like this

Dangote grants N16tn waiver to Dangote, Honeywell, others.

Dangote is FG and FG is Dangote..... Shame on any students campaigning for apc 2023. Buhari can't give ASUU whatever they want? But waive ₦16tn for Dangote, FG service debt? Terrible govt.

I'm not surprised Nigeria is still the way it is

Nigeria we hail thee! Imagine N16tn waiver to a single Company while the ordinary petty traders are being strangulated with multiple taxes. This is criminal.

This country sef,,, we’ve been shouting Nigeria is broke and we need to keep taking loans, and still they’re granting 16trn waiver to the dangotes. Lol… funny country I tell you.

Dangote is where the elites keep thier money.

FG helping billionaires to remain billionaires. Its well!

God when. I need just 10million waiver

Very unnecessary since it doesn't translate to immediate relief to the common man. Government should collect the tax and use it appropriately.

Rob the poor to compensate the rich. Capitalism.

Dangote's tax waiver is understandable, he built the Apapa-Oshodi-Gbagada road. That of Honeywell I don't get it.

Politicians

How much is ASUU asking for again?

If you read this and it doesn't click that they chose not to tax the rich for half of the national budget and we are suffering for it. If you do not see that these lot have to go, now? If you so not vote for the peaceful exit of this lot. You are a wicked fellow.

Then customers who bear the ultimate brunt of VAT & other forms commodity tax deserve a tax holiday.

Dangote is FG and vise versa so we're not surprised at all.

Just like that. What did these two parties use to work this out... 🤔

The rich getting richer

Thunder will fire all of you and you keep borrowing and you tax poor people, mad people

One thing I have come understand is FG is this means to loot money. This Dangote is not own by himself alone.

Somebody is definitely getting cash back....

And my small biz almost every week for various tax. Tueh!

This is huge

Nigeria will be dismantle

Hahaha, they will come and tax a poor man to pay their looted debt.
