We hear constantly of PL taxation reform plan for years since Abdiweli this is has been said to be one of the main pillars of the government policy. What have they actually done in terms of our taxation system. They don't divulge who they tax, what rate they use, what method they apply, what technology or manual methods are carried out, the time period tax is collected.
If anyone knows please let me know about PL taxation method. Maybe @Reer-Bari can comment on this since he lives in Bosaso. I know we collect tax only from checkpoints around the state and the Bosaso port. I heard they collect taxes from businesses and small market traders and employees at Agencies in the state.
Do we have a universal employee tax regardless if their contractor, full time worker, part time worker, business owner. I want some answers on our income tax and how it's measured. We don't even have tax file numbers to track how much employees are being paid let alone how much they need to pay for tax. In Australia we use a taxation method based on 'income brackets' so if you earn 1-18k that's no tax. 18k-37k it's 20 cent in the dollar. 37k-80k it's 37 cents in the dollar. They keep increasing the taxation rate based on your income.
I am sick of people working our state and making money and giving nothing back to the government for the privilege. It's like they come to take our money but don't want to contribute to the state. How do we measure our tax on checkpoints, I suggest applying a tax on the type of vehicle, smaller cars cause less damage on the road, larger cars cause more damage on the roads and adjust the tax rate accordingly. At the port I think they tax based on the 'weight of cargo' but I think they have a list of individual items and it's tax rate also.
The area we need serious reform is INCOME TAX. We need to create the system and ensure all workers get a tax file number and businesses pay workers following the system. We should know rough estimates what each worker in each industry earns so if they report nonsense figures we can throw it back on their face.
We need to use some maths to figure out wat a company turns over in profit by estimating customer base, the price point for services or goods. We can estimate what that company earns monthly, quarterly, or yearly and accept nothing less from them when claiming their revenue for the year. I want to see some serious discussion around our taxation system because currently I don't even know what we are dealing with and am guessing.
