Also, I actually like that corporate rates were reduced but the so called “development” levy would reduce the effective reduction. But a reduction it is still how ever slightly.

I feel that Nigeria should have gone for an Irish style low rate of at least 10% with deeply generous capital expensing (100%+) which is expensed immediately and not over time. The capital expensing schedules I saw in the version of the bill floating around last year are too low and are done over a period of years.

An Irish style corporate tax rate, with super generous capital expensing, along with with corporate tax incentives for the list of industries listed in the bill for incentives, implemented immidiately could usher back in much needed growth.

Thanks for this! I love the way you broke down this aspect of the bill. Crazy to see how much the naira has been devalued. A thousand percent devaluation is diabolical, man.
