Labour Expert, Seth Ablosu is calling for exemptions for Pensioners who are on Mobile Money so that they will not be taxed E-Levy. This is because their Pension salary is too small to be taxed, especially when they want to use that medium to pay for goods and services. He said the Government must find a way to identify that group and spare them. Speaking on the GTV Breakfast Show, on Day One after the implementation of the E-Levy, Mr. Ablosu described the E-Levy as ”a bad tax as it will worsen hardship in the country”.
Mr Ablosu wondered why Parliament or Government did not request for public input before passing the Bill into Law.
”If it is a policy that we have go on with then we must look again at a lot of exemptions from the E- Levy if it is a tax when we got to VAT we all fought VAT, but there were other side we are benefiting today so we need to look at exemptions if we have to continue implementing E -Levy, but for me it is no is a no because when I take my salary, it has already been taxed”.
