Less Than 40m Nigerians Paying Tax — RMAFC Chairman (www.informationng.com)

This is as the RMAFC boss noted that less than 40 million Nigerians are presently captured in the tax net and paying taxes.

“The monthly salary of Mr President is less than N1.5m; that of a minister is not even up to N1m,” Shehu added.

The Chairman, Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Muhammad Shehu, says Nigerians must endeavour to pay their taxes to boost government revenue and improve service delivery.

“That is too low for a country that has more than 200 million populations,” he said.

The RMAFC boss also hinted that the commission developed software to enhance transparency in revenue generation and sharing amongst the three tiers of government.
