In a video by @tollysmart on TikTok, the lady shared that she laughed after the vendor told her what to write.
To avoid charges based on the new tax laws that commenced in 2026, some Nigerians came up with the idea of using descriptions and narrations in their bank transfers.
She noted that the vendor asked her to write “loan refund” on the bank narration while making payment for her dress.
Her video was captioned:
“I bought clothes from a vendor this evening and she told me to put “loan refund” in the description not knowing I’m a tax man. The moment she said “loan refund”, I started laughing.”
