The Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) says they will embark on a one-day warning strike on April 25, over the introduction of 15 per cent National Automotive Council (NAC) levy. The agents argued that the NAC levy is mostly meant for new vehicles, questioning the rationale behind the introduction of the duty on used vehicles. The circular said that the warning strike was a fall out of consultations among critical stakeholders. “We have consulted widely among critical stakeholders as par the 15 per cent NAC and “illegal benchmarks on Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR).”“It has been concluded that the 15 per cent NAC is a fraud and an obnoxious policy. It said that all members should be ready to down tools and ensure total shut down at the ports after the warning strike, if the policy was not reversed.
