More than half of Nigeria’s VAT comes from Lagos



Speaking at the parley between the federal government and progressive governors forum (PGF) in Abuja on Tuesday, Adeosun said the 87 percent of Nigeria’s VAT is derived from four states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In other words, only 13 percent of Nigeria’s VAT comes from 32 other states in the federation.

According to her no country in the world with high tax compliance rate is poor, and no rich country has a low tax compliance rate.

Quoting current VAT collection data across Nigeria, the minister said “55% of Nigeria’s VAT is collected in Lagos State. 20% in FCT, 6% in Rivers, 5% in Kano, 1% in Kaduna”.

“I’m hoping that one day Finance Commissioners will stop needing to come to Abuja monthly to share FAAC, because IGR (internally generated revenue) will be sufficient.”

Lagos-55%
FCT-20%
Rivers-6%
Kano-5%
Kaduna-1%

To whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48)

States that have received massive FG government investment over the decades will surely have more tax revenues of this sort. In fact, I'm surprised that Anambra and Enugu even featured in the top 20 of tax revenues.

Think of all the major FG infrastructure type organisations in Nigeria- NNPC, Ports, Steel Mills, Manufacture, Refineries, Petrochemicals, LNG, Ports, Airports, Corporate & Regional HQs of Federal establishment, Military Manufacturing and training etc.

How many are in SE States? Go to places like Abia State and almost ZERO FG presence there.

Mtchewwww!

**added - they are even building naval base in Kano? SMH!

I still don’t get the VAT noise,with all the VAT that Lagos generate an average Yoruba lives in one of the worst housing system you would ever see in Nigeria,and with all the VAT that Kano generates,they are still more poor Kano indigenous people than the whole of SouthEast combined,if you want to check VAT,start from checking the kind of houses people live,you can’t be a family of 8 sardined in one leaky room and claim you are better than those who built and lives in one of the most expensive and beautiful houses in your states,Lagos with its Vat is an overhyped dustbin and Kano with its Vat is has one of the most poorest indigenes in the country

All these statistics you guys are mis quoting up and down.
Consider:
1. More than 60% of VAT is due to imports.
We are a country of consumers of imports, with little production. The rest are due to gov. Expenditure and a very small amount due to manufacturing.

2. Saying 55% percent of VAT are collected in Lagos or 5% in Kano is purely deceptive. Why, firs currently collects VAT without regards to final place of consumption of goods.

In the real application of the law, Lagos state will not collect any VAT on upto than 90% of imported goods passing through Lagos as they are not being consumed in Lagos. They will only charge VAT on the logistics of distributing these goods, which is insignificant. The same applies to the commercial distribution hubs in Kano and Onitsha. If you want to size up VAT potential of states, look at the distribution of consumer goodd across the country. BIg cities will be high, but nothing like 55% share, more like 5-15% share.

The only real gainers are the oil producing states like Rivers, Delta, etc, if they can find loop holes to use VAT to take a good chunk of the royalties being collected by federal Govt. on produced oil. They can even tax NNPC.

Am in full support of states collecting tax as it's another step against over centralization, but it's better to be realistic with facts. And consumers must guard the implementation as they may end up being double or triple taxed.

Data on consumption of goods in Nigeria is readily available. See link and table below. Lagos is 12.6% only.

There are more Igbos in Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo than both Lagos and Kano States, yet the VATs in Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo States are very small

Where are the values for the five S/Eastern States for you to make such unsubstantiated claim?

What if the VAT collected from the S/East is equal to 3%?
Re: Kano VAT Contribution Is More Than All States In South East Combined by lereinter(m): 4:44am On Sep 09, 2021
This is good news abi

Instead of waiting for Lagos or rivers state money, Kano state should be the one to be gifting all the backward northern states.

So that they can have money to deradicalise bandits & bokoharam

Animals!

Re: Kano VAT Contribution Is More Than All States In South East Combined by Hyperchi(m): 4:48am On Sep 09, 2021
that means kano and Abuja can be their brother's keeper. coz we the SE are not crying. what we receive is also little of what we generate. meanwhile some unproductive state in the North get back and more than what they generate.
so Kano vat can be use to service hisban, headsmen, bandit and bokoharam . and they unproductive number of ppl u have there.

When pigs fly!

These idiots are simply insecure as well as daft! They’re always quick to tell a little part of the story....the outcome of decades of practising a political-economy that has disproportionately favoured Lagos, Kano and Kaduna! Inspite of all this, Igbos have still managed -mainly through self-help and private initiative- to do well in comparison with other regions! These bastards have held us down and sustained the Fulani hegemony, enthroned since the late 60s, then they turn around to talk of comparative charts, surveys and the like that they think shows them in good light while disparaging Igbos! Check out all national HDIs, and you’d see just how resilient Igbos are despite the handicaps these evil and bigoted vermin have placed in our way!

The major reason i want Igbos to secede from Nigeria is because of this senseless hate, bad-belle, envy and suspicion these groups have for Ndigbo! It’s just choking!! Any Igbo that believes things will change anytime soon, and that our children wouldn’t go through what we’re going through in Nigeria....such a Igbo is naive at best!


Their oluwole statistics make them feel important . Ignore them . Igbos are poor bla bla and yet we wanna leave Nigeria. Doesn’t that mean a lot ? Sometimes, just ignore those people to keep deceiving themselves. I have not seen a south east governor complaining about the issue of VAT. We welcome it wholeheartedly. Let every state and region fend for themselves and let’s see who will not survive.

Honestly speaking, I would love the Igbos to pack and leave other region of Nigeria. They have colonize all business these places that local people can't seem to compete with them.
If the Igbos leave, locals will fill in those spaces...

Over 95% of the food you eat daily comes from the North. All the raw materials used by Food and Beverages companies are from the North, the good politicians who rule you are from the North, the Galant Soldiers, Police, DSS and other Security agents who protect you from IPOB Bandits, Rituals, Kidnappers and other Criminals in the EAST are all from the North.

The sincerity and uprightness of Northerners is the reason Oyinbo people allow Igbos enter their Country. If lefr for Igbos alone, no Country will give you Visa. Cause Igbos have a bad record in the community of Nation.

Without the North, the East won't last one week.

Re: Kano VAT Contribution Is More Than All States In South East Combined by flokii: 7:49am On Sep 09, 2021
South East has never been viable.. I wonder why they created more states for them.

They complain everyday of hate from Nigerians but they benefit most from Nigeria, they live freely everywhere in the country and even compete with the locals there for the market where they make money to take back home to lavish and throw flamboyant parties like Obi cubana. The same set of people generate next to nothing in IGR for FG but collect monthly allocations for 5 states while the likes of Kogi, Oyo, Niger that are bigger than the entire SE region collect allocation for just 1 state yet they make the loudest noise and still can't develop. They prefer to blame Tinubu, Osibanjo, Buhari etc. for their woes while they leave those in-care of their allocations to be spending and looting mercilessly.

It pains me when Igbos come out to complain, they are not in such position to even say jack cos they enjoy Nigeria more than any other ethnicity.

South East are so poor? Na wahoooo.

Take am easy bros...

If the SE governors collect tenement rates or fees from properties alone..., it will dwarf the IGR of almost all the 19 northern states...Also remember people of SE own many properties in those northern states compared to people from the northern states do in the East.
