Oyo State Tax Dispute and Legislative Delay

Alli highlighted the impact of multiple taxes on the movement of farm produce and commodities within the Oyo State road transport corridor, which contribute to the high cost of basic goods and reduce the profit margins of farmers and small-scale business owners.

He emphasized the need for the people of Oyo State to be free from multiple taxation and the current crude methods of collecting road taxes under the Makinde-led administration.

Alli stated that the lack of enacted legislation has allowed multiple taxes to persist, leaving businesses and citizens vulnerable to unauthorized collectors.

He noted that several forward-looking states have already passed the Tax Harmonisation Law, while others are actively working to complete the enactment process.

Alli claimed that the Oyo State government under Governor Makinde has shown indifference to the issue of tax harmonization.

Senator Alli promised that upon becoming governor, he would pass the Tax Harmonisation Law within his first 100 days in office.
