Does your state not sell petrol? They will collect VAT from that. But before you force foreigners to live in your state, force your indegens or Lagos will need to start requesting you pay tax on your indegens in the state too. Who are adding stress to an already stressed infrastructure

mu2sa2:
Men, truth is bitter. I know the north is silent calculatively. Let Wike and Co make all the noise, the silent north knows how to play the underground game. Hahahahaha, you just have to give it to north willy- nilly.

God bless you too. The Yoruba mission must be accomplished because, vitally, we are now united with our leaders, whether Christian or moslem and whether APC or PDP, in acknowledging today that we can be much better than 'one Nigeria' is allowing us to be .

my indegines in lagos are already paying taxes in lagos just as lagos indegines in Bayelsa are paying taxes to Bayelsa, we are talking about companies drilling in the states where they pay taxes and not driling in one state and paying taxes in another state

baby124:

This has nothing to do with the employees but the company. This is why Niger Delta gets a percentage of revenue from these operations. Ask your Governors to use the money well. If you can’t force your indegens to stay in your state, you can’t force others. By the way, the headquarters are in Lagos because that is the commercial capital. Probably corporate office. They guys that drill most likely live where they drill or live there partially if they have families in Lagos.

Omoluabi1stborn:


BTW, why is everyone just studying the Judgment.

For Nigeria to Work, Regional government is the only solution.
Decentralized everything.

And let each region contribute certain amount of money to FG (say 1bn each) NOT that SE or SW will contribute 1bn each and NW or NE will be contributing 500M

theTranscriber:

come and steal the votes na

your group narcissism is you eboes main problem

you think too highly of yourselves

Omoluabi1stborn:


I don't know.
I'm just beginning to like this SW governors.

Unity in amotekun
Unity in Open grazing
Unity in decentralized supreme courts
So many others.

I think SW will fare well in Regional Government.



BTW, SW governors make Una help me beg Daru Dapo to work nah

hopily:
I have never mentioned employees all we are saying is that the companies should relocate to where drill, their staffs can live anywhere they want, its not iur business, is lagos not getting a percentage of VAT from FG why do they want full VAT it is because they are being shortchanged, it is thesame thing we are talking about that these companies should pay full taxes where they are drilling or drill where they are paying taxes

Diri faults IOCs on paying income tax in Lagos
For Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State, part of his complaints is the decision of international oil companies (IOCs) to continue paying their employees’ income tax to Lagos State where they have their headquarters as against the states where they extract oil.

Why will a state attract FDI and all the tax go to FG?

LibertyRep:
Whatever joint actions they intend to take, they must ensure it doesn't flop like the I'll executed Amotekun project.

They should also purge themselves of internal saboteurs and traitors.

That said, when this is done, we'll revisit the independence/ autonomy for LG and State Assemblies.

rottennaija:


This is the problem with VAT that is being discussed. It's because headquarters is cited on lagos, the VAT goes there and Lagos claims it. With the way states are going about the VAT issue! It seems they are ignoring or are ignorant of the value chains and simply what to take money that belongs to other states.

Elliotwaveforec:


By residency rule, where the workers are is where they pay to.

In the case of oil companies, most of the workers at the top management level live in Lagos while those at the lower level are in Bayelsa state. This explains why the large chunk of the PAYE goes to Lagos.

datamillionaire:
The idea of PAYE being paid to state of residence of the worker rather than where his place of work is located sounds foolish to me. That law should be amended!

kmcutez:


Yeah, I know all those taxes go to the state government. I was asking about the taxes from profits of big companies like Zenith Bank, Shell, Mobil etc.

Elliotwaveforec:


Company taxes go to the FG only

Dapo seems the only black leg of them. He has approved 100 hectares of land for Buhari's farm settlement which could be a ruse to establish RUGA in Ogun state. He's apparently blinded by his second year ambition.

Nigeria needs serious reformation in VAT law. I believe we are getting there.

It is wrong for a consumer who resides in Gombe state for example, to pay VAT on the service he consumes to another state simply because that's where the company's headquarters is located. That's somehow unfair to the state of residence of the consumer. At least, there should be a sharing of the VAT income between the state of residence of the consumer and the state where the company offering the service is headquartered.

I can now see that this VAT of a thing is far more complex than many of us realize and it's best managed if it is centralized, only that the way the income from VAT has been shared so far has been unjust to states who actually generates highest revenue. So I think amendment of VAT to make it more favorable and fair to states based on revenue they are able to generate is what is needed rather than each state collecting VAT by themselves. This is my opinion.

Which do you prefer, one Nigeria or Yoruba Nation?

SW Region of Pacesetters

Why Regional Integration?


DAWN is an inclusive development strategy. Global citizen and Nobel Laureate in Literature, Professor Wole Soyinka (also from the Southwest), canvasses what he described as “Regional Development Autonomy.”

Development Autonomy is a potent argument for the need to leverage repressed communal assets, talents and resources located within a Region, by side-tracking limitations placed on all by the inchoate Nigerian federalism.

Regional Integration and Cooperation is a development imperative. Integration prescribes a compelling alternative roadmap for achieving social and economic development, in hopes that successful models and best cases can evolve which would then be copied or replicated across zonal boundaries.

Regional integration will reduce duplication of efforts among our states and will therefore provide basis for more efficient coordination.

Regional integration will ensure monitoring of social and regional impact of structural adjustment policies.

Regional integration will help the Southwest States reap economies of scale, expand markets and collectively exploit their resources and gradually raise the Region’s strength in the global economy.

Therefore, it is hoped that Nigeria’s development process can be fast-tracked in an atmosphere of positive competitive regional initiatives and actions across the country.
