The Federal Government has through the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN, imposed stamp duty of N50 on bank customers for money received into their accounts. Consequently, bank customers will henceforth pay N50 stamp duty for money received into their accounts via electronic transfer, cash and cheques. \u00a0
This order was contained in a circular to all Deposit Money Banks and Other Financial institutions titled, Collection and Remittance of statutory charges on receipts of Nigeria Postal Service under the Stamp Duties Act\u201d, yesterday 19-01-2016. The CBN stated, \u201cAs part of efforts to boost its revenue base, the federal government of Nigeria is exploring revenue opportunities in the non-oil sectors especially taxes and rates.\u00a0
It is in recognition of this fact that banks and other financial institutions are enjoined to support government\u2019s revenue drive through compliance with the provisions of the Stamp Duties Act, LFN 2004 as reinforced by the court judgement in Suit No FHC\/L\/CS\/1710\/2013. In this regard, the CBN pursuant to the provisions of its enabling laws, hereby issues this circular to all DMBs other financial institutions:<\/p>\n

\u201cWith immediate effect, all DMBs and other financial institutions shall commence the charging of N50 per eligible transaction in accordance with the provisions of the Stamp Duties Act and Federal Government Financial Regulations 2009, that is, all receipts given by any bank or other financial institution in acknowledgment of services rendered in respect of electronic transfer and teller deposits from N1, 000 and above;<\/p>\n

\u201cFor all avoidance of doubt the following receipts are however exempted from imposition of stamp duties: payments of deposits or transfer by self to self whether inter or intra bank; and any form of withdrawals\/transfers from saving accounts; It should be noted that these charges are only payable by receiving accounts;<\/p>\n

\u201cEach DMB shall open an account designated as NIPOST Stamp Duties Account into which all charges collected shall be paid. The balances in such accounts shall be transferred monthly by the DMBs to CBN NIPOST Stamp Duty Collection Account No. 3000047517; \u201cOther financial institutions shall remit their Stamp Duty collections to any DMB of their choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
