The Association of Licenced Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), has urged the Federal Government to review the Amended Tax Order of 2015 to reduce multiple taxation.
The Secretary of ALTON, Mr. Gbolahan Awonuga, made the call in an interview with newsmen in Abuja yesterday.
The ALTON scribe said that there was need to review the order, adding that “the tax order was amended and signed by the former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala because it created more problems and confusion.
However, he noted that ALTON is seeking another review and they are planning to send it to the National Economic Council for consideration.”
Mr. Awonuga said that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) had taken steps to address the issue of multiple taxation and had been having stakeholders’ meetings and discussing with states on how to put a stop to the issue.
He added that “ALTON had been relating with states to end the problem of multiple taxation.
The association was also relating with necessary agencies of government to move the telecom sector forward in this year.
