The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has identified multiple taxation as a significant obstacle impeding the sustainable development of the telecom industry in the country.
The growth of telecoms infrastructure, essential for the entire digital economy, is hindered by multiple taxation and regulations.
In Nigeria, certain state and local government agencies are enforcing taxes and regulations without proper legal authorization. This unwarranted imposition adversely impacted the telecommunications industry, leading to a ripple effect on its overall output.
These multiple taxes are paid to Federal government states and local governments as well as communities.
