Most registered company don’t pay tax here, except for the big companies.

And nobody will hold you if you don’t declare your company tax return here.

In the UK, even if you don’t make a dime from the company in a year, you still have to declare tax return. Other you get penalties that’d warrant you to pay fines.

In Nigeria, I’ve never seen self employed people declaring tax returns. Over there, in so far you’re not working in a company where tax is being deducted, you have to declare your tax return year in year out, otherwise, you pay fines.

You only are exempted from paying tax if you’re making anything less that £12k in a year. And £12k cannot even be enough for the bills you’d pay through the year.

I repeat, we don’t pay tax at all here if you know how the tax system works in the UK.

sukkot:
to be honest with you I am not one of these people who cry racism or tribalism. I understand humans Are territorial by nature. If I see the territorial attitude is something I cAnt handle I move away. I don't sit there and complain. As you can see I am in a Black Country . And if it gets too hot here I will try Mexican country lmaoooo just kidding but you get the point right ?

You are incredibly funny! Anyways, those whose dreams are beyond your adamant discredit here will still go ahead with their dreams. Doctor that just got licences was what I meant there.....fresh doctor that graduated and ready to treat people. I already left, I already made up my mind, I have no intention of being a travel agent so why would I embellish stories? My family doctor has become a friend, she is in my age group and a Nigerian too. It might be hard for you to believe that people become friends and talk sha...

By the way, have you seen the new bill in the making where naija is trying to keep doctors from leaving Nigeria? Why do you think they are leaving if not to go earn and live better? You might have seen bad, a lot might have seen bad but there are several gazillion others that have seen good and they aren't returning to Nigeria. Abroad is different from abroad o. UK isn't Canada.

Meanwhile, I'm kinda happy that nice people like you and some others are committed to staying in Nigeria. We cant all leave otherwise who will remain to help keep the country on the world map? May God continue to keep you guys safe and prosperous. Thank you for being patriotic

That is the thing people should understand. Their definitions of abroad should fit what they desire and wish for. After all, there are Canadians, Australians and even Americans living in South/East Asia without desiring to return to their home countries. For instance, when people mention gun crimes, I find it odd as I have never heard a gunshot or seen a gun.

All abroads are not equal.

sukkot:
you got jokes hehe. Well you know those same doctors who are running out of Nigeria are crying in the UK that they are being exploited by the British government and being paid very poor and much lower than their white counterparts and they have petitioned the Nigerian government to fight on their behalf. It's a huge case going on right now as we speak. Are you aware of that ? Oh yes we shall keep Nigeria nice and warm for you so you can come back and enjoy it with us hehe

Sukkot....Say Canada, not UK. It starts with C... not U . I have been talking about CANADA not UK. Whew! Do you get it now?

sukkot:
oh ok my sister I get you now but sister let's talk true oooo even that Canada get as e be ooo. If you get medical procedure you are on a 2 year waiting list. Many people done die on that Canadian waiting list oooo. Those wey get money go port go Cuba go do the procedure out of pocket . In fact nowhere is perfect

Gerrard59:


Good. Just don't expect a functioning society, and keep dwelling in the world's poverty capital.

Fair game.

Rilwayne001:


I’m in full support of a functioning society and I believe a capitalist with a progressive mindset president Will activate that for us.

Nigeria has more natural resources than the UK and our citizens would not even need to pay as much tax as those in the UK for the country to survive.

Nevertheless we still have to pay tax, with the hope that government would utilize such taxes to progress our economic and social development

sisisioge:


I think OP is just being coy... the clarity had been made since the start of the thread but he kept hammering on his experience in UK when his only experience in Canada was a brief tour. But on the bright side, it's good that he's adamant about staying in Naija to keep the country populated. I'm sure, majority of his F&F are still in the UK o

They return only to support politicians that implement policies which made them flee in the first place. Honestly, sometimes, I see reason some whites would not have a black person, especially those who were bred in Nigeria to man political positions except as a diversity token.

livingstone2013:
My friend who relocated to Sunderland 6 months ago analysed to me that Japa to UK is still better than Nigeria. That He saves 500 pounds monthly after bills ( which is about 500k naira) compared to me doing white collar job and earning 300k naira salary in Nigeria. He does minimum wage job in Sunderland @10 pounds per hour and on dependent visa while his wife is on student visa.

I don't know if he is lying that he saves 500 pounds monthly cause that looks good while doing menial jobs in Sunderland. Compared to white collar job in Lagos that pays 300k for the whole month. My brain has been curious if he is saying the truth or not.

seguno2:


Can you please share the links and sources for this claim of Nigeria having more natural resources than the UK, noting that we don’t have the technology to even know of the existence of many of the natural resources.

Do you simply hope that your life will be better, or you work like crazy to make it better? Why do you think that the society is differently wired to get better on hope alone ?

Gerrard59:


Explain like I am five years, what is your problem with paying taxes aka bills? You think people living in Port-harcourt, Lagos and even Kano do not pay bills? I am a sucker for low taxes, especially towards businesses, but I see/understand the need for taxes. You want a functioning society without paying taxes? How come? You want good roads yet you whine about paying taxes? Are people in Nigeria getting water for free? Don't they pay school fees notwithstanding the strike actions? Don't they pay security levies here and there even to bandits?

You see, this is my problem with Agbado disciples. The way all of you people reason is scary and leaves much to be desired. You people are a perfect example for the existence of psychiatrists.

livingstone2013:
You are an idio.t. you came to this thread to infest it with tribalism and bigotry. Go to the politics section where your kinds ( both agbado and ipob) argue shamelessly and get the fvck out of this beautiful thread.

Taxes are different to bills. The UK is taxed to death. In the UK, the more you earn the more they take back from you

This why our nigerian counterparts in the states have more purchasing power and take home pay. Taxes are not so much a thing on it's citizens. Instead corporations bear the brunt of taxes. This is why you guys find them to be less 'stingy' than UK peeps.

Modafvker,

You should be ashamed of yourself since you refuse to look at the root ssues which made people flee. You think if Nigeria was relatively OK as it was during Jonathan's administration, people would sell off their assets? You think those who returned enmass from the abroad during GEJ administration didn't know why they return? People only went to the UK to study and return to Nigeria. Companies, I recall Access Bank then, was going to the UK to organise aptitude tests for Nigerian students in the UK to employ them immediately they're done and return to Nigeria. Which Nigerian company in the last four years has done the same? I recall then job ads brekete for front page. I was looking forward to them. Recently, I checked Linkedin jobs portal on Nigeria and compared to Singapore. My goodness! There were more triple the number of jobs on the Singaporean portal than Nigerian. Singapore has less than six million people o!

You people want to shy away from the root issue and I won't allow it. I detest hypocrites. You modafvker will do anything to swallow Tinubu's cum yet lament things are hard in Nigeria. How come people, even in their Mid-40s, are fleeing Nigeria if things were relatively OK in Nigeria? Why didn't they flee when Jonathan or Obasanjo was the president? If the country's politics are relatively OK, people don't flee enmass but ignorant and mendacious modafvkers think otherwise.

So, because someone stays in a gated estate tucked in Lekki which has no pedestrian walkway yet almost hundred people were brutally butchered in Benue, I should look away? You should be terribly ashamed of yourself! Tomorrow, you will head to church or slam your kon-kon head five times thinking you will enter heaven with such a mentality. Ta! A Chinese atheist will enter heaven before you despicable lots!

If you confront me, I will drag you to the mud like a pig you are. Must everything be about tribalism or politics to you? You came to this thread with your dirty ass from nowhere and you have no meaningful contribution but to cause trouble. Your only motive was to turn it into igbo vs yoruba tribal war. Everyone here were commenting with decorum and respect before you came but like a man child you are, you can't just bear it.

So what made a 40 year old man Nigerian man sell off his assets to become a postgraduate student in the UK?

Explain like I am 5. Give examples using Brazilians and Indonesians so we know 40 year old Brazilians and Indonesians who sold their assets in Sao Paulo and Jakarta to become students in the UK.

I am waiting, patiently if you wish to know.

sukkot:
alright lets address the bolded. Alright so whatever economic situation going on in Nigeria has nothing to do with tinubu. We would stArt holding him accountable from May 29th when he gets power in his hands. Secondly as for the mass japa epidemic ? It has absolutely nothing to do with the Nigerian economic situation and everything to do with Brexit. After the Brexit situation all the eAstern Europeans returned back to their countries and this left a huge gap in certain sectors and they needed workers to fill these sectors so they looked to their colonies like Nigeria. Now they have made it known that they just need people to wipe their old peoples yansh as it is an ageing population and the visas are easily given for this purpose as well as visas for their universities so you can bring all your money to their dying economy. And so our greedy naija people all lost their senses when they saw easy visa and sold everything they owned and ran to Britain . Has nothing to do with naijas economic state . Not saying our economic state is perfect. Now the general sentiment amongst all these long throats that sold all their assets to go clean Oyinbo yansh is deep regret
