Good news. VAT from Alcohol will no longer be enjoyed by Sharia people. Hisba can go ahead and destroy all the beers in their state. Funny dudes.

Hypocrites. After a sumptuous meal made with mainly ingredients from the God blessed region you come here to say rubbish. North produces nothing, according to them - not even onions, potatoes, tomatoes, greens , fruits, grains, beans, electricity (hydro-electric generated in the north). Hypocrites- you will starve. Ritualists, kidnappers, robbers, domestic terrorists aka militants, lazy parasites. God bless north more.

Who is more hypocritical?
Don't we pay for those goods?
Do you hand it over to us in charity?
Up in the north you use the cloud of religion to destroy other people's business in name that they are selling haram like alcoholic beverage, but down here the business thrives and tax it, now you want to share from the haram money.
We are just saying you guys should generate your own income while we do, it is not hard.
Next will be for states to control their natural resources just as zamfara is doing.

Don't mind them my brother. Let the northern states be collecting their own VAT. Nigeria is one of the most endoured country by nature but one of the poorest in the world because we lack the capacity to manage the abundance of resources nature or God has given us. Let every state collect their VAT, every state will develop, meaning that the country is going to be developing indirectly.
We claim to be a federation. No other federation in the world is using our template. We have seen this template we are using is not working.
The north and Nigerian are incapacitating the north. The north seems to be backward in almost everything. Let us liberate the north. There are vast of resources in the north. One of the strategic decision that will grow the north is the implementation of state administration of VAT. The north should fight for it. It will be tough in the beginning but I see a huge leap out of poverty. Up north, Up Nigeria.

My reservation and concern on the judgement is for companies that collects tax clearance certificate from FIRS. On submission of Audited financial statement for issuance of TCC. The FIRS when discover that VAT are not remitted to them, might compel the company to pay VAT on Turnover which might lead to double taxation on payment. This must be look into and taken into consideration.

I don't your concern is a major problem. If this case is not appealed or succeed at the supreme court, then changes will have to be made as regards the law around administration and remittances

Yes, we will pay for them. Just control your own resources whereas we do ours. Those vegetables, we will pay or buy them, its same thing we were telling the herdsmen, that since you northerners know how to produce vegetables during the dry season, it shouldn't be hard to cultivate the grass and hay your cows need but no they won't cos they have ulterior motive.

Correction: Lagos, Ogun, Anambra, Rivers and Kano. These are the only states that generate meaningful VAT.

ThierryJay:
The position of the North is expected because they are the least productive in terms of VATable activities. Their excuse of using the transportation value chain is so myopic. Is that the only business sector in Nigeria? Are they aware that the contribution of interstate logistics services to national GDP is small compared to oil imports, manufacturing of goods or even the regular services sector? Why should they then think that the challenges of VAT collection from a mere interstate transport should be the basis of determining who to collect VAT nationwide?

If this new judgement is implemented, Lagos, Ogun, South South and Anambra will carry most of the VAT leaving crumbs for many other states to share.

A very terrible and greedy move by wike. Trying to take advantage of the ethnic and religious tension to line his pocket. Vat and income tax should be in the exclusive preserve of the federal government but folks won't see it because of the current atmosphere of hate. Welp that's what the average Nigerian politician does, stir up ethnocentric and religious tensions in order to profit from it

Yes let him use it to line his pocket it is none of your business. Let your state government use yours to line his pocket. We are just tired of your backwards mentality, we want true federalism, you guys have leeched us with reckless abandon and pulled us back alot.

This is a great judgement. Imagine collecting tax on alcohol and be distributed to states that destroys alcohol. When they say develop your state, some are developing almajiris, grooming the future Boko Haram. They will surely become humble when they no longer have access to monthly revenue from the South.
My advice now is for the South to go into massive Agricultural development because the North see it as an ammunition to wage wars against the South.

Hypocrite. When truck drivers from the God blessed region stopped work for a few days, prices of foodstuffs skyrocketed in the south - lamentation everywhere. God has blessed Nigeria through the north.

God cursed the whole Nigeria with the north, only in one region, we have islamic terrorism, islamic banditry, islamic kidnapping, islamic almajiri, islamic eating of grass, etc, how can those be a blessing?

Close to 30 states will be affected by this move, which is a good thing because most state governors have become lazy over time. But then the newspaper try to be mischievous by highlighting 2 or 3 states in the North for sensationalism. Tribal journalism.

It is good it will affect 30 states, at least when huger tear them they'll hold their state government at ransome or kill him off for good.

I don't understand this. We are practicing a federal system of government, why should ABJ be collecting VATs? In a federal system of government, each state are suppose to be incharge. Nigeria will never develop if we keep on practising this unitary system of government.

No. Some certain taxes should be the exclusive preservers of the fg. Don't be carried away by this news , state governments already have massive amount of cash coming in from their own set of taxes but they squander it away. They even under report their tax earnings so as to loot them

How can FIRS "compel" if court has ruled?

Such companies should then go to court

That is a non-issue

I referenced South South as a whole because almost all their States (except Edo) have significant upstream oil operations. VAT on upstream operations will be significant for those States if it should go to them.

oga, tell your governors to collect VAT on your "onions, potatoes, tomatoes, greens , fruits, grains, beans, electricity" and stop spewing nonsense! Let states trade with each other and not the "going to Abuja cap in hand" bambialah mentality that currently operates. If you hate beer, hate everything from beer! Full stop. Your northern states can't be destroying businesses and using funds generated from other states to build religious houses and sallah rams! Wike and Rivers state is spot on! States should collect VAT and remit agreed percentage to the FG. End the obnoxious robbing of Peter to pay Paul. All hands must be on deck to stop the stupid Marxian distribution formula of "from each according to his ability to each according to his need." Going forward, let he that works eat!

I think it is a good idea for productivity

Instead of boasting about landmass and population, make your region productive so that you can make more revenue from businesses
