Lagos State To Go After Tax Evaders

After over four years of advocacy, the Lagos State Governor; Babatunde Fashola says it is now time for the state to go after tax evaders. The governor noted that only 3 million out of the 8 million taxable people pay tax thereby putting the government under immense pressure to deliver on the numerous programmes it set out to do.

Though there is no new legislation on taxes in Lagos, however like the model canvassed during the recently conclude U.S. election, the rich will have to pay more in the state.
