Some states tax systems isn't fully explored. They are lots of tax that you should pay that you aren't paying. For VAT on restaurants, be sure that Borno State IRS hasn't gone for those taxes. Their tax system is still being developed to fully collect all necessary and required tax. I know this because we are tax consultants to Borno State Government.

It is the responsibility of the FIRS to collect VAT and not state boards. Though Southern governors are currently contesting this.

perambulator:
legally if you are charging VAT it has to be on the invoice, you dont have a choice whether or not to charge VAT. What you can do is to then show discount on the invoice if you are paying the vat yourself.

Not true. I am a vendor. To be competitive, I bear the VAT burden and I have no obligation to disclose it on the invoice. But monthly, I prepare the VAT schedule and forward same to the authority.

And please note, I'm based in Abuja

Trimjos:
It clearly shows VAT are collected in Rivers, but not Borno and most other northern states. I have been to Adamawa, Yobe, Kebbi, Taraba, Bauchi and host of other northern states.

A vendor has 2 options as regards collection and remitting VAT.
Option 1: The vendor may choose shift the VAT burden to the customer. In this case the customer pays for VAT and it is disclosed on the customer's invoice.

Option 2: The Vendor bears the VAT burden. In this case, the VAT amount need not appear on the invoice.

Hello all, thank you for all the good job you are doing here.

I submitted a visiting application for my wife and it got approved on November 21. She submitted her passport as requested at the VFS global office on November 22.

Your wife's passport should be ready for collection (in case you are yet to collect). Just go to VFS office. Had a similar case mid year.

Your son is the PA and you will be the accompanying dependent(irrespective of you being the parent) by applying for a Visitor visa for yourself.

Thank you very much. I will try this option. I'm grateful

Please, who can help? My 15 year old son got admission to continue high school in Canada. This means he will require a study permit. But I desire to take him there to ensure all is okay, and then return back to Nigeria.. I do not intend to stay for more than 10 days in Canada.

(1) I know I will require a visitors visa but do I indicate "Tourism?"

(2) Who will be the main applicant, since the true reason of visiting Canada is my son's study.?

Pls help?
