NVIIRI REACTS TO GOVERNMENT’S DIGITAL CREATORS TAX PAYMENT PROPOSAL

Sol Generation artiste Nviiri The Storyteller has opposed the proposal to have content creators pay 15 percent tax. 

In a post on his Insta Stories, Nviiri said the government should protect the rights of artistes, “As entertainers we keep coming up with innovative ways of getting money and the system isn’t playing any impactful role in helping.

Now they want to tax these new concepts on the digital platforms. How about they start by making it easier for us to earn as young creatives by ensuring our rights are protected on the different platforms  in place!”

The musician called on the government to engage creatives when making such decisions, “How about they engage young creatives on finding solutions before making these decisions. Where is Ezekiel Mutua in all this? I’m willing to be engaged for solutions. Note: I have nothing against taxes but let it be done properly.”

Adding, “To the officials fighting the good fight, big up and thanks for involving us in the conversation the good fight continues.”
