Golan007:


Present your own statistics.

GamalNasser:
Stop spewing ignorance..VAT is an end user tax and is actually borne by the last user or consumer of a vatable product or service , so trying to attribute VAT collected at entry point doesnt make sense , for example Lagos being the primary entry point of most goods into Nigeria will erroneously claim to contribute the highest tax but while in reality people in yobe ,zamfara or abakiliki who end up being the last user of an import actually bore part of the VAT charge ..

The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun remarked that 87% of Nigeria’s VAT comes from four states and Federal Capital Territory

GamalNasser:


You are too dull to process what I am about to write so chill

Golan007:


End user or last user, Kano still higher than your state.

South East region has lowest population, so they contribute the least in term of consumption.

Ikinternational:
You mean the majority of VAT comes from states the FG have spent enormous resources over the years developing their infrastructure?

You don't mean it. I find the results absolutely shocking.

Based on Fulani census which is not credible

Hunger or highness ? @ op

See bigotry in full display, they didn't even read what they are arguing about

Nigeria youths of NO tomorrow

Melezenawii:


The Minister, while speaking at the parley between the federal government and progressive governors forum (PGF) on Tuesday stated that Lagos has the highest VAT collection, amounting to 55% of Nigeria’s VAT

According to her, FCT has the second place with 20%, while 6 % in Rivers, 5% in Kano and 1% in Kaduna.

First and foremost Mrs Kemi Adeosun is no longer the finance minister!!!

Secondly, it's normal, it's expected, these places you mentioned are commercial cities!!!

These states are ready made even during the colonial times

They are highly concentrated

The concern should be are they remitting enough

danietohbadt:


Na aboki con dey live for the 5 igbo states?

Is it only the North/South West that's living in these places mentioned

You might equally say that northerners live in the South East but I can assure you that the population cannot be compared!!!

Lordave:
Multichoice Nigeria is headquartered in Lagos State. Now when I make a subscription for my DStv I’m always charged 5% VAT.

Given that I don’t reside in Lagos, and I was taxed for the payment I made on my DStv who’s headquartered in Lagos State does my 5% VAT get recorded into VAT collected in my state of residence or in Lagos State where the company I had my transaction with is headquartered in?

Zombies don't reason properly.

Lack of brain becloud their judgement

No matter the attack, the truth will always remain what it is!!!

How can you compare the former nation's capital (Lagos) to the East that has not experienced such exposure

In terms of revenue generation in any form

Isn't it partial

YorubaHero12:


Although this news is 2017 so it’s old but I have an observation.

What exactly are the Igbos contributing to the National purse? Na then Dey first abuse the Northerners as leeches but yet Kano is contributing more VAT than any SE state.

Agriculture Export too also showed that the SW and the North are the largest earners for foreign trade for Nigeria. Sesame seed and cocoa are the two largest cash crops Nigeria export.

The SS majorly contribute the oil money for all the zones. Infact Ondo produce more oil than Imo and Abia combined. So don’t even mention Oil that can’t fill a cup as their contribution.

What exactly is the contribution of those 5 SE states to the National purse.

YorubaHero12:


That’s not my question.

The question is what does the SE region contribute to the National purse?

I think SE are the real parasite in Nigeria and not the North. They contribute nothing which explained why they always link themselves to the SS every time.

Majority of the Igbos\other tribes are living there and they pay their taxes there as well
