Lagosians spend over N1bn on parties monthly –Govt


Party Tax? My goodness !
According to the Lagos state govt,they are considering introducing party tax

Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Ademorin Kuye said made this known yesterday. He said:

    “Over N1billion is spent monthly in Lagos state on entertainment and parties, we have the records to confirm this and these people, how many of them pay tax? The money goes into drinks, wine, food, aso-ebi and all of that and when they spend all of this money; they do not want to pay anything to the government”

    "This justified the reason why local Governments demand that anyone organising events in the state must pay the Merriment Tax.”

     “There is merriment tax in that constitution, its part of the rate Local Governments can collect. We have not fully utilised the benefit of the entertainment industry in this state”.
