Experts Kick Against ASUU’s Proposed 10% Education Tax, Make Case For Private Firms
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been criticized by tax experts over the proposed hike in tertiary education tax in the country.
Naija News gathered that these experts have kicked against the proposed increase of the tertiary education tax from three percent to 10 percent saying the move would only put more burden on private firms.
Fiscal Policy Partner and Africa Tax Leader of the PwC, Taiwo Oyedele, faulted ASUU’s move saying there was just an increase in education tax a year ago.
Oyedele, who was featured on an Arise TV interview said the increased education tax rate would be one of the highest in the world, noting that for a sector where investors are needed.
He explained that one basis point of the education tax rate is equivalent to two basis points of companies income tax rate because it is calculated on a much larger base than companies income tax.
Oyedele argued that when companies’ income tax, technology tax, police tax, and science and engineering tax, among others, were computed, a firm would effectively be paying over 40% tax which he said is too high.
