Dangote Cement Plc, a subsidiary of Dangote Industries Limited, (DIL), paid a total of N412.9 billion into the coffers of the Federal Government as tax for 3 consecutive years. A total of N97.24 billion was paid by Dangote Cement in 2020, N173.93 billion in 2021 and N141.69 billion in 2022.<\/p>\n

This huge tax payment from only one of the conglomerate\u2019s subsidiaries, re-affirms Aliko Dangote\u2019s position that prompt and accurate tax payment is a duty for everyone who wishes to witness real growth and development. He posited that government\u00a0<\/span>cannot offer social services to the citizens without tax collection.<\/p>\n

\"\"Dangote also advised the government to automate the tax system in the county, while commending the inauguration of\u00a0the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe they should look at automating the tax system, just like what they did in India. If you go to India today, the country collects at least $1 trillion in various taxes. On petroleum products alone, India makes $100 billion yearly, because they charge 100 per cent on petroleum products. So, what I am suggesting is that people should pay tax and if you pay, you demand services from government. I think it is a social contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce people start seeing that government is using the money to do infrastructure, fund education, healthcare, whereby the citizens don\u2019t need to go out to India or other countries for medical attention, then people would settle down and start paying taxes,\u201d the renowned entrepreneur added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, other\u00a0listed companies of\u00a0<\/span>Dangote\u00a0Industries Ltd, also paid huge taxes to the Federal Government during the said period. Both Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc and NASCON Allied Industries Plc are listed on the Nigeria Exchange Limited. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysis of the yearly annual reports of Dangote\u2019s three listed companies indicated that they paid N114.31 billion as tax in 2020; N187.17 billion in 2021 and N172.15 billion in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the three years, Dangote Cement paid a total of N412.86 billion as taxes, Dangote Sugar Refinery paid N55.38 billion, while NASCON Allied Industries paid N5.39 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

A total of N97.24 billion was paid by Dangote Cement in 2020, N173.93 billion in 2021 and N141.69 billion in 2022. Dangote Sugar Refinery paid N15.85 billion in 2020, N11.97 billion in 2021 and N27.56 billion in 2022. For NASCON Allied Industries, it was N1.22 billion in 2020, N1.27 billion in 2021 and N2.9 billion in 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The analysis indicated that companies from Dangote Group\u00a0<\/span>had<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>remained major contributors<\/span>\u00a0to the nation\u2019s economy\u00a0with the volume of taxes paid in the period under review<\/span>.\u00a0The group\u00a0has given Nigeria hope of earning income through economic diversification, implying that the nation can wean herself from dependence on export of crude oil as major source of government income.<\/p>
