CBN proposes Tax, Do you love to pay tax on any 3mins call you make?
Would you love to pay tax on every 3mints of call made on any network?
Nigerian CBN Governor
Godwin Emefiele, said it is an alternative source of revenue for the Government.
He said
“There are several ways we can raise additional revenue to finance the increased expenditure that is needed to engender fast and sustainable growth in the economy,” Emefiele said.
“I think we can consider introducing a negligible telecom surcharge to be entirely borne by the initiator of a call. In order to protect the poor and vulnerable among us, we could structure it to only take effect after the third minute of talk.
“Some analyses have indicated that the government could earn about N100 billion per annum from this alone. Obviously this surcharge will mainly be borne by middle and upper class people since I do not know many poor people who make calls for more than 3 minutes!”
