vanbonattel:
They produce and export plenty. Stop hating because your people produce nothing. Go and produce something.

babajero:
have you and your people forgotten when you were shouting made in China up and down, what about today with the help of their government look at what China has turned out to be, you and your people are now running to China for every product.

Without Nigeria as a country the East would be the Greatest country in Africa where you and your people will be clamouring for visa to come to.

East is the China and America of Nigeria combined. No matter the political sabotage the East will forever triumph.

remove what other states living in lagos contributed in lagos what remains?

prophetfire:
You are dead wrong. All MTN vat is credited to Lagos because that's where their headquarters is even though the man in that forest in Taraba state used MTN to make calls.
So the law that makes the place where the headquarters of a company is sited being the beneficiary state of their vat and other forms of tax is what favour Lagos and some states.
First bank for instance, even though they have branches all over Nigeria but their vat is credited to Lagos because that's where the headquarters is located.
So Lagos is actually robbing other states.
That same law also applies to where the registration address of a company is.
If you registered your company is Sokoto, but you are doing the business in Kano, Sokoto is where your vat and some other taxes go.
That's some of the things that the new tax law wants to change.
However the reason why the north is opposed to it is because sharing formula will also change. You collect something synonymous with what you contribute, no longer use of population and landmass.
Therefore states like Lagos though their contribution will reduce but they still have high numbers because of the volume of business activities and will still get something higher than others.
Northern states will now have to work hard to increase business activities in their states, and that's why they're screaming blue murder.

Ezmans:
if they move back Lagos I'll collapse

THE CURRENT OBSESSION OVER LAGOS VAT BY TINUBU'S PEOPLE IS DIVERSIONARY PROPAGANDA - DECEPTIVE CHEST BEATING.

Yoruba and far north Reps rejected the minimal increase in percentage from derivation on proceeds from crude oil asked by SS and SE reps at the National Political Reforms Conference during Obasanjo's civilian administration. The conference abruptly ended from there.
VAT Is never Nigeria's primary source of sustenance.

babajero:
Lagos is robbing all Eastern and southern states.

Be objective, the guy is making sense the VAT from HQ needs to be changed, you pay VAT to the business state of Operations,not HQ in another state.

Most of you run into a thread on a social media. Just to comment trashes.
Most companies paying taxes to Lagos State government are not operating there. They only do so cos their heads offices are located there. However, companies who pays major in taxes are oil companies and these Oil companies operates in South South and Southeast states of Nigeria

Codes151:
lagos self they rob Niger delta

vanbonattel:
And if they say, separate!

Lqgos will pooo their pants

ubox:
Nope, the whole money from other states are spent in Lagos. So technically Lagos is robbing the other states

Justiceleague1:

yommen:
No Sir.

One of things the tax reform bills seek to correct is to make the tax count for the states where the items through which the tax is generated is consumed instead of the headquarters of the paying company. If Lagos state is the headquarters of the company, then Lagos government get the tax instead of the states where the items are consumed which is unfair on other states

Don't mistake me. Lagos is on my certificate of state of origin. I'm Yoruba through and through but the truth must be told.

kenex4ever:
They are not. Most of the vat attributed to Lagos are generated from other states with the operational Base and consumption of most of the goods, however the Companies' HQ are in Lagos
