Private educational institutions in the Federal Capital Territory have protested against what they described as “multiple taxation” by some government agencies.
The proprietors lamented their ordeal in the hands of “illegal tax collectors”, saying they could no more cope with the multiple taxation imposed on them by the FCT Administration including Area Councils in Abuja.
They alleged that they were being made to pay questionable levies, including tenement rates, ground rent, environmental charges, Educational Tax Fund and Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund.
