Just last thursday when the minister of finance was reading the budget, amongest the sources of finance the minister tabled was the tax on social media platform, of recent the president of the republic of uganda H.E Yoweri Museveni while addressing the state of the nation, he said " there should be a tax imposed on social media to discourage the idle youth who are always on facebook, twitter, whatsapp among others from spending much of their usefull time on these platform critising his government and actually posting what he term as lugambo a runyankole word to mean rumour.
I as a steemian have come up to high light to the entire steemit community to come down not to get worried about the impossed tax.. This will make me first define steemit to the newbies and those who definately dont know the definition.
" Steemit is a social media platform where everyone gets paid for creating and curating content. "
From the definition i there fore stand firm that this tax wont affect a steemian because of some reasons.
When i create content on steemit, i get paid for creating and curating the same unlike other social media platforms where u create, curate but no rewards at the end yet your spending on data, time among others to people doing business you know what i mean to invest time and money.so this gets me not worried at all.
Just like how the president stated it social media is a platform for lugambo, it is only knows facebook, whatsapp among others that can accomodate that here at steemit we mind about creating content that can add value, that are informative to the steemit community and others atlarge this makes me think thar even we steemians might be exempted from the tax at a later time.
"Instead of gossiping, start helping, leading and building people up. See how your investment of your time and energy grows versus spending your time on meaningless conversation"

From this as we all know that steemit is all about investing, investing time, money, mind among others, successfull people dont reach their success alone they just build it with people aroud them a d peolpe they trust can build them. Now dont hestatite to inform afriend about steemit so that he or she can invest and get paid later alone.. This is why i must promote steemit to the people around me.
Thanks for passing through
