Techfile: Dangote To Get 3-Year Tax Relief After Constructing Apapa-Oworonshoki Road - latest news
The management of Dangote Group has said it will
get a three-year tax holiday after constructing the
35km Apapa-Oworonshoki road.
Devakumar Edwin, an executive director in the
company, made this known in a statement shared
with TheCable on Tuesday.
Edwin said “the company has never benefited any
tax waivers or credits in its entire history except
when it is industry based and same applies to all
industry players.
“It is very painful when some people accuse our
company of benefitting 10 years’ tax rebate from the
government. There is nothing like tax credit in all
these.
“We volunteered to construct the Apapa to
Oworonshoki long highway at a cost that will be
about 15 to 25% less than the lowest bid on the road.
“We hope to get back our money after three years
by removing the sum from the tax we are supposed
to pay.”
He explained that the company proposed to the
government to take out 50% of the total cost of the
road from its proposed tax in the first year after
completion and 25% in each of the next two years.
“The government came forward and said, good
enough your company is repairing a road that is very
important to all Nigerians… is it possible to help us do
proper road construction of 35 kilometers from Apapa
to Oworonshoki?
“We advised the government to go for a competitive
bidding and also that we will take it up at a cost that
will be lower than the lowest bid received by the
government.
“Since the government may not be handy with cash,
we proposed that we will recover our money over
three years in installments against our future tax.
“The reality is the government will not pay us for the
construction, but we will only offset our costs against
our three years tax.”
He explained that the company volunteered to repair
the Apapa road as part of its corporate social
responsibility initiative and that the construction
would be carried out at 15-25% lesser than the lowest
bid.
The federal government had said it would use tax
incentive order to hand over the Apapa area
comprising Creek Road, Liverpool Road, Marine Beach
to Mile 2, Oshodi, Oworonshoki to the Lagos end of
the Toll Gate on the Ibadan Expressway to Dangote
Group.
