Cyber-security levy: You can’t tax Nigerians without increasing income

Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume, has faulted the Federal Government's proposed Cybersecurity levy. Ndume said Nigerians can't be levied when their income does not increase. Appearing on Channels Television's Politics Today, the lawmaker said the proposed Cyber security levy would increase the tax burden of Nigerians. “You cannot be charging taxes on people when you are not increasing their income. 'Their source of income, you are not widening it, you are not increasing it.

'We have issues with cybercrime, you know that, and there is a need for the government to improve the Cybercrime Act, that is what I understand by the amendment. “Looking at the nitty-gritty would have been the responsibility of interested parties. 'If I had known there was an issue where a cost would be transferred to a customer or a Nigerian, I would not agree,” he said.
