A recent study conducted by Stakeholder Democracy Network (SDN), Youth and Environmental Advocacy Center, and another NGO, has shed light on the debilitating effects of multiple taxation on businesses in Rivers State.
At the unveiling of the report at the weekend, Alexander Sewell, Research and Policy Manager for Stakeholder Democracy Network (SDN), said the research, carried out in March 2024, reveals a staggering 75 official charges applicable to businesses, with 17 of these appearing to be multiple taxes.
