Tax collection is a factor that comes with a given government tax policy! People should be mindful of this fact.
Some states or countries believe in tax and spend. Others allow capitalists within their enclaves to hold more funds in order to plough such back into their businesses and grow more wealth and employment. People need to understand this.
Abia state, Anambra state and Rivers States, are some of the most viable states in the East without oil revenue. So if the state governments decide to place less emphasis on stringent tax collection, one should ask about the motives behind such policy. Rather than running along with the narrative that Abia state is not viable.
Aba alone generates more income for businesses than half of southern states..

Abia state is now offilially the least revenue generating state in the South. Abia is now ranking with Northern states

what could be the issue.
1. Sit at home and disruption of business ecosystem
2. lack of capacity of the present Government
3. Hangover from military and police siege leading to relocation of businesses
4. Corruption by the present Abia Regime and ineptitude to evolve to a digital state


Please lets discuss

johnmartus:
Anyone follow this thing argue not serious sense is not really common in fact in your own case the same guy was calling federal government to stop giving lagos monthly allocation in the name of envy .federal government can stop it but in one condition that special autonomy must be granted and federal government must stop collecting tax in lagos.

Penguin2:


Ignore the guy.

Look at the table.

Abia has grand total of 7.5billion IGR while Ekiti has 6.5billion but he chose to close his eyes on Ekiti and spew trash about Abia.

DOTian:

I can't see the contradiction..
I just told you how tax policies lead to direct increases in tax incomes and how taax politicies can also lead to exponential increase in greater capitalists investments... How does that effect my stand in the other thread?

DOTian:

That guy is unbelievable..

LegendHero:


The problem here is that you are an illiterate who doesn’t even understand the chart the guy uploaded.

If you check that chart, you will see that PAYE constitute over 75-80% of taxes generated by each state and that tax is deducted directly from source. So your argument of Abia government not wanting to tax people does not apply here because employers automatically deduct that amount from source.

Go online and read more of PAYE and what it means and how it is generated.

Penguin2:


But have you looked at that chart to see that Ekiti, and not Abia, is the least IGR grossing state in the entire south?

LegendHero:


Ekiti is also a state not living up to expectation and I am not surprised by the figure coz it has always been the least revenue generating state in the SW. Now it has now reduced more to being one of the lowest in the South only above Bayelsa from that chart.

However, I am not here to argue about states itself but just pointing out the thinking of the dotian guy that said Abia IGR is that low because the government don’t proposely tax the residents.

So I told him PAYE is the biggest source of taxes for all those states as you can see that it is over 80% of the taxes in most of those states. This PAYE is deducted from source by the employers and they pay you the net salary at the end of the month after taxes removed. So the argument that government is not purposely taxing his people do not arise here.

Do you get the drift of my argument?

Shameless Ipobians, no wonder Abia is the home of ipob? Poor wretched State.

Penguin2:


I do get your argument. But he’s right to a great extent too.

Check high IGR grossing states like Lagos and you will see that while PAYE does constitute greater percentage of their entire IGR, other Taxes take large chunk too.

You know why? Because the tax attitude in Lagos is higher than the tax attitude elsewhere.

Let’s take Abia for instance. The market in Aba is big enough to give the state a high IGR if it block leakages and change its attitude to tax.

If we were to compare two entrepreneurs doing business in Lagos and Abia, you would realize that the person in Lagos pays way higher than the person in Abia.

That’s what Dotian was trying to draw your attention to.

Anambra and Rivers are billion times better than Abia. Abia is a failure in all aspect and you definitely know this.
