Tax for the informal sector, made easy.
One platform for the taxes, levies and charges the informal sector owes: markets and shops, transport, waste and more. Easy to pay for traders, artisans, drivers and households. Hard to leak, and visible to the revenue board every day.
The problem is liquidity, not willingness to pay.
A trader in Ogbete, a street shop on Ogui Road, a keke driver at the park, a household paying for waste: most of the informal sector earns daily and spends daily. Asked for a large annual sum in one payment, most cannot assemble it. They delay, the year passes, and the State collects a fraction of what it is owed.
Existing collection systems digitise the old demand. They move the same lump sum onto a card or a portal, and leave cash, middlemen and guesswork in place. Ovend starts from how people actually earn.
Many services. One easy way to pay.
Whatever the informal sector owes the State, Ovend makes it simple to pay and simple to collect. Each new service works the same way, so taxpayers learn once and the Board sees everything in one place.
Markets and shops
Traders in markets and on the streets keep their shops covered in amounts they can manage, from any phone.
Transport
Daily tickets and yearly vehicle fees, paid before the vehicle moves.
Waste management
Homes and businesses pay waste charges in the same simple way, with every premises on the register.
And more
Other State and local government taxes, levies and permits are added as your State needs them, without changing how people pay.
A complete register
Every taxpayer, shop, vehicle and premises counted in the field by an accountable team and kept current, at no cost to the State budget.
Dashboards for the Board and Government House
Revenue and compliance by service, location and LGA, ready to act on and to print.
Audit you can stand behind
Every naira traced from the bank to the taxpayer and the service it paid for.
A field team you can hold to account
Every officer verified in person before they start, measured every day, and paid for results the Board can see.
Not another payment portal.
Most systems change where people pay. Ovend changes whether they can, and closes the gaps where revenue disappears.
