As the Value Added (VAT) war rages, Saturday Vanguard has obtained details of collections made by each state and what it was allocated by the Federation Allocation Committee (FAAC), between January and August of this year, which indicates that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Offices in Lagos, Rivers and Oyo states recorded the highest collections.

Lagos generated N429. 203 billion; Rivers, N90. 293 billion, while Oyo came third with N64. 646 billion.


However, in the allocation of VAT revenue, Kano came second, displacing Rivers and Oyo from the top places on the table, after Lagos.

Lagos received the sum of N139. 587 billion; Kano which generated N24 . 492 billion received the second highest allocation of N 47. 082 billion, while Rivers was in the third position as it got N 46. 270 billion.


Zamfara stood out as a peculiar state with the least generation of VAT revenue. It was the only state that recorded less than a billion in the eight-month period of review.

The state generated only N598. 133 million, an average of about N75 million per month.


However, it received the sum of N35. 716 billion (about N4.5 billion monthly), placing it at the forth position on the allocation table.

Kaduna which recorded a VAT revenue of N18. 262 billion, came after Zamfara with an allocation of N32. 726 billion, while Kastina which generated N3. 738 billion in the period under review got N31. 539 billion.

To the Analyst in the house, whats the parameter for the disbursement of these funds to states, considering that some states contributed more but got less while some states contributed little and got more.

I think land mass, population and other variables are used in allocating resources.

I think land mass, population and number of LGs are used in allocating resources.

Thank you,
because I cant phantom why Zamfara state that contributed less of all 36 states was allocated the 4the largest share.

joyandfaith:


I think land mass, population and number of LGs are used in allocating resources.

It is based on equality of States 50%, Population 30% and generation (based on how much a State generates) 20%

It is population.

That is what the op should have done. But decided to give half information as usual.

Wow, from this Ebonyi just receive just a little more than twice than it generated as allocation, which means if it should delve more into its solid minerals it won't need those allocation.
Ebonyi even performed better than Abia and Imo in revenue generation, yet they make it seem it is Ebonyi who badly needs the allocation.

This is more clear and understandable.

With this decision of sharing percentage, it will be one sided and can see why the agitation for stopping FIRS from collecting the VATs are prevalence

.

Which half information are you referring to here?

Is it bad for getting clarification from a post I read and shared?

South East contribute nothing


South East States are actually the parasites

Next topic please. All I see is audio billions

this must not continue

Land mass, population, Revenue generation and equality for all states.

How is kaduna and Kano generating more money than ogun


It actually shows all the list so far is political

politics and quota system

This arrangement would mean that some state governors wouldn't be serious on encouraging economic growth and development in their states because they can always collect billions in free money at the end of the month.

Oga don't get me wrong. Vanguard gave half information that will not enable the public be educated. That is the half information I am referring to.

2ndly the information presented seem to sporadic.

Fellow Nigerians

Rivers generated 90.293b got 46.270b

Kano generated 24.492b got 47.082b

Kastina generated 3.738b got 31.539b

Kebbi generated 1.284b got 22.162b

Zamfara generated 598.133m got 35.716bn


Lol, see injustice in this country

Lol, classic case of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Rivers generated 90b but received 46b while Kano generated 24b and got double

Zamfara generated far less than 100m but got a whopping 4.7b

This is sad to say the least, height of injustice.

Something doesn't add up in these figures. Ebonyi actually generated far higher than any other SE state How is that even possible?

Exactly, it encourages laziness from some state Governors to find means of generating more revenue for their states since they can get billions at month end.

Also I believe most states contributing high will not be motivated to do more since they are not accessing all their money.

This is only VAT now

it's not all the taxes.

Eboyin has more natural resources than most states in the southeast.

only Lagos, Oyo and Rivers will truly want State government to collect VATs in Nigeria.

I tell you,
What they contributed is far less than what they earn. Its normal and understandable that they are at the forefront of this agitation

Apology to the Northerners. I don’t think they are the parasite when looking at this VAT thing. Most of all the states are parasites both North and South except Lagos, Rivers, and Oyo.

Bayelsa, Delta, Kaduna, Kano, and Ogun are trying to an extent too.

What about the below? Bro see based on this VAT thing, most of the states are parasitic on some very few states. So I don’t think it’s the North North headache here.

They should make the states collect VAT tho so that any state that can’t think of a better way to make money can starve well well.
