The Minister of Finance, Kemi
Adeosun, has said that the federal government has signed a policy to tax first
class and business class air tickets alongside other luxury goods.
According to her, the tax burden
in Nigeria is not been shared fairly between the rich and the poor.
She said that high net worth
people in Nigeria are able to evade tax because they do not get their monies
deducted at source.
The Minister said: “We signed
something yesterday on luxury goods; champagne, brandy, whiskey, wine, jewelry,
high-end jewelry.
“We’ve signed something that will bill access
charge on first class and business class tickets, we are just doing the final
parts of the implementation and we also want to try and amend the tax payer
book on high end cars, luxury cars”
