Officials of Mushin Local Government Area of Lagos have begun taxing shop and kiosk owners N100,000 in order to raise revenue for the council.
The bill has no specified purpose of the payment or revenue item and the sum of N100,000 contravenes bills taxed on small businesses. “This money they are asking us to pay is too much for us. We just came back from Coronavirus lockdown and we have already paid tax to the state and local government. A carpenter, Mr Mide, who was also asked to pay the sum, said the local government officials were employing forceful means to ensure payment of the revenue.
When contacted, the House Leader of Mushin Local said the revenue was brought about due to the shortfall of revenue in the council.
