VAT Proposal Clarification by Taiwo Oyedele
Dr. Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Tax Reforms, clarified that the committee proposed a complete removal of Value Added Tax (VAT) on items like house rents, food items, and public transport, rather than a 10% VAT increase as reported by some sources.
Oyedele emphasized that the proposal also includes tax cuts for employers offering transport services to their staff and those employing more workers than usual.
