All Progressives Congress, presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has pledged to end multiple taxation if elected.
This was contained in a statement released by the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO).
The statement issued by Malam Garba Shehu, the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, noted that a Buhari led adminstration will not impose any harsh tax regime on Nigerians.
Buhari was quoted to have said that the party would rather employ existing tax policies of government to fund its people-oriented programmes.
“An APC administration will make life more bearable and manageable for both the citizens and the business sector by entrenching discipline in Public Administration across all sectors of governance. The party will plug all loopholes through which public funds are being lost. When these loopholes and accompanying wastages are plugged and corruption reduced to a minimum or totally stamped out as promised by our presidential candidate, Buhari, the government will have reasonable quantum of funds to social investments programmes in education, health, and safety nets such as free school meals for children, emergency public works for unemployed youth and pensions for the elderly,” the statement
Multiple, discriminatory and harsh tax regimes under the present administration will be a thing of the past the statement echoed.
