 Income earned by ‘runs girls’ taxable- FG


The Federal Government has said that under the new tax law, all income earned by providing a service including the monies earned by call girls popularly known as ‘runs girls’’ will be taxed.


The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, stated this while speaking at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, City of David, Lagos recently. 


Oyedele explained that upkeep money sent to dependants or relatives is not taxable describing such transfers as “non-exchange transactions’’but that any money generated from any service provided will be taxed. 


“You earn a certain amount of money and you have to send upkeep to your cousin, your brother, even a stranger, it doesn’t really matter. If the amount you’re sending to someone is money you are giving to them as a gift, that’s not taxable. It is you that should have paid tax before giving them a gift.


If somebody is doing runs girls, right, they go and look for men to sleep with, you know that’s a service, they will pay tax on it.


One thing about the tax law is it does not separate between whether what you are doing is legitimate or not. It just asks you whether you have an income. Did you get it from rendering a service or providing a good? You pay tax.”


The new tax law is expected to take effect on January 1, 2026.
