This Crypto is Saving Ugandans From Mobile Money Service Tax........ Get on Board

in #busy6 years ago

It is very hard to believe that a government can impose tax to limit social media use in a developing country!
I remember telling you of we in Uganda shall be taxed for using social media and guess what,it was put in effect as stated.

The whole Uganda is in a rage as many people are voicing there concerns on this unfair move by the government! We have a few lauding the tax(Mps...!!! ) and majority condemning the tax,read this below for more of the different responses and reactions from Uganda.

Government sued over social media tax!

As i promised in my post of yesterday of how i will talk about a crypto that will help remove some of the taxes we are facing now,here we are and just hang on as i tell it to you!

Mobile Money Tax

There is really a lot of noise about about the social media tax in Uganda now.
The less talked about tax is the Mobile Money tax!! Guys as i mentioned in my post yesterday,this is the most insane tax.

This tax levied on services has or is been solved by crypto already as i will explain later...!!

This above was my wala account being used for buying airtime!

As i explained in my post,the tax is so insane that both the sender and receiver of money are taxed as can be seen from this official announcement by the telecoms companies!

I am sure people will protest the more if they realize the impact of this tax.It is fascinating how some people already plan on boycotting this tax by using traditional methods of

Meeting the individual in person and receive the cash hahaha or traveling if the amount to be sent is significant !

This Mobile money tech had simplified people's live whereby we could even pay for services like bills using our phones!

This new tax means we are now going to be charged 1% tax on any service we pay using this technology...

This tax is really going to affect many services in the country.....

I guess the bankers might have sat with the government complaining of how they had lost business to this mobile money technology!

The truth is that bankers had lost business to this awesome technology,for this last 3 or 4 years....some banks even went out of business....yes out of business ie closed shop(there might be other factors also though!)

Crypto Will Save Ugandans Who Use Mobile Money Services!!

There is new crypto that is already revolutionizing services payment in Uganda.
You earn rewards from using the wala app and use those rewards to buy airtime and Internet bundles and even pay bills.

The image i showed above was taken by me as i used the app to buy airtime from the rewards i earned! It is really

Let me quote from the website

Wala is a zero-fee money app on a mission to support you on your path to financial freedom. We believe that the financial systems in this world are broken due to high fees, poor experiences, and inaccessibility.

Your financial well-being starts with Wala.

  • Send money to friends and family anywhere instantly for free
  • Buy airtime and data directly from your phone with zero-fees
  • Get rewarded with Dala Icon Dala digital money when you use Wala
  • Pay bills and school fees in the Wala Market for free

If you look closely at the above,you can see that the recurring word is free!
This is the beauty for crypto,making transactions free or reduce them.

It has come to my notice that Ugandans are going to be forced to delev into crypto full swing....Many have to get this app so avoid the 1% tax when using(paying for) services like water and electricity.

There is an in depth article of this crypto by Coindesk which you can read here

I wish to see more such crypto ventures that can impact people's live in a short time of operation as wala has done.

I will continue spreading crypto until people realize the potential in crypt o,will for now spread Steemit(as always) and wala to save Ugandans.

This is all i had for you today,stay tuned for more

Sort:  

I usually browse steemit from my smartphone while on the can

Well if you get diarrea...it can be costly.lol...haaha
