TAXING RIGHTS AND GLOBAL MINIMUM TAX RATE – AN END TO PROFIT SHIFTING

  INTRODUCTION Recently, the top economic officials from the world’s advanced economies reached a groundbreaking agreement to overhaul international tax laws. This has led to the unveiling of a broad agreement that aims to stop large multinational companies from seeking out tax havens and forcing them to pay more of their incomes to governments. The G7 economies which comprise of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States of America, will work out modalities for the implementation of the new tax system. The Finance Ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) rich nations reached a landmark accord by backing the creation of a global minimum corporate tax rate of at least 15%, an agreement that could then form the basis of a worldwide deal. Understandably, this will put an end to what U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called a “30-year race to the bottom on corporate tax rates” as countries compete to lure multinationals. WHY GLOBAL MINIMUM TAX? Major eco...

NEVER LET ANYONE TALK YOU OUT OF YOUR OWN VISION.

  "Everyone is blind, but you. Everyone is blind but YOU. No one can see what YOU do. That picture in your mind, That dream that you define, That vision, that mission, that truth. We spend so much time waiting and erasing and replacing, Just because someone else doesn’t believe. We give away our passions and live delayed and distracted, Based on what others can’t conceive. "That’s not possible, not plausible, not sensible or realistic." Boundaries THEY place on OUR dreams. The best and the greatest – for generations – have stated, You have to see the invisible to sculpt something new. You gotta be devoted and delusional, possessed, and unusual, You have to look differently to be one of the crazy few. So stop stopping your dreaming based on what other’s AREN’T seeing, And set your sights on your own unviewable view. They’re not supposed to see it. YOU were born to free it. That’s why that vision was gifted to you." kash

Be part of positive solutions

  A story  is told  of a Monkey  who clapped  it's  hands as  it watched  the Elephant  and  Hippo  fighting.  One of  the legs  of the Hippo  was eventually  broken. The Medicine  man  said  he  needed  the veins of  the  Monkey  to prepare  the medicine.  When  the Monkey  was caught  and told  the  reason   it sadly  said,  "I would have reconciled  them if  I had  known  that  the conflict  would  eventually  affect  me. " It was  too late  for the Monkey.  Let us all  be part  of the positive solution.  Every  crisis  you see  or hear about,  close or far away  will one day  affect you  too.  Use your  opportunities  well. You may also cry  one day if you don't  help today.

Dear Zahra

 Dear Zahra,  I bring you good tidings. I hear your father listens to you. I want use this opportunity to beg you to pass this message to him.  It is now over six good years that he has been leading us as a proud people and we wish him well. But something is disturbing us and we cannot hide it. It is normal normal for a human to become sick, but we don't think it is  normal for  a leader to consistently sick for medical attention abroad for over six years without working to upgrade the facilities at home to enable him receive treatments here at home.  We don't know how much it cost for all the medical trips o, but we prefer that those doctors come and treat him here in Nigeria than for our leader to  be travelling to meet them. If your Daddy would agree, we don't mind crowd fund for those Doctor(s) to come to Nigeria and treat him.  We agree that the leaders before him made zero investment in health care but six years is enough for a meaning chang...
