Do You Pay Service Tax in Your Country

[Kane]

In our country, it is illegal to ask for service tax from customers. Therefore, service providers like hotels, restaurants, etc. cannot charge service tax. However, some restaurants are doing this. Sellers can only charge VAT, they cannot charge service tax.

In Nigeria, service taxes are typically levied on specific services such as telecommunications, banking, and insurance.

The rate of tax varies depending on the type of service provided. So, if you are running a business that offers any of these services, you have to find a way to incorporate the service tax into the final price of the product.

In our country, there is no service tax, it is illegal. People pay only taxes during purchases in malls, stores, or other kinds of taxable properties like real properties and more.

Only businesses with revenues above Rs 20 lakh are supposed to pay service tax, small businesses are exempted since they make very less money

@timewo, that is correct, small entrepreneurs are exempted to pay service tax. But I saw local government collecting only pay daily for the space that is installed in a public market for example at a minimum amount for maintenance fee.

There are some people who do it here but I always avoid them instead of causing any form of drama with them
