Although wike will definitely lose the case but what I expect other none Sharia state to do is to file a case to stop Sharia states from sharing from the VAT generated from the sales of alcoholic drinks since they keep destroying beer in their own state meanwhile, the same beer form part of the monthly allocation they get in their state to pay those HISBA they employed to destroy any beer they see in their state. quote author=ourema post=105823241]UPDATED Rivers govt drags FG to Supreme Court over VAT …seeks disbandment of A’Court panel that ordered maintenance of status quo https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/09/breaking-rivers-govt-drags-fg-to-supreme-court-over-vat-revenue/[/quote] |

garfield1: FIRS won't collect anything. Just forget it. VAT was introduced in 1993 to replace Sales tax. The question is if the FG could it collect sales tax, why can they now collect VAT? As for the Appeal by the FIRS, they are merely wasting their time. It is a declaratory judgment as to rights and you don't use stay of execution to suppress declaratory judgements. This particular Justices who granted this interlocutory injunction are not very intelligent. 4 Likes 1 Share |

garfield1: VAT replaced sales tax. Where do you see central governments fighting for sales taxes? FIRS can keep fooling itself, it can never win this case. Let me tell you something. Once Supreme court upholds the judgment of the Federal High Court, FIRS is castrated. Lagos previously took up this matter and won at the High Court and Court of Appeal. Now, the FG fixed VAT at 7.5%. Lagos will fix its own at probably 7% or 6.5%. Rivers can fix its own at 7% or even 5%. Let the FIRS go looking for fools that will abandon 5% and pay 7.5%. 1 Like |

Terrence99: Stop saying what you dont know.there is nothing like sales tax in nigeria,it is vat and the fg has a law called vat act.the fg is clever that is why it changed it to vat... Now,only the high court has ruled on this matter.it just got to the appeal court,the appeal court did not make a final ruling.they simply said that while the case is going on,firs will continue collecting vat.the final matter has not been decided.this is just a motion.be guided,stop talking carelessly.lagos has never taken this case to court before,only rivers did.behave yourself son |

garfield1:You haven't opposed one thing I have said. I will ask you two questions: Does the VAT Act supercede the Part II (concurrent legislative list) of the Second Schedule of the 1999 constitution? I will reproduce Part II (concurrent legislative list) of the Second Schedule of the 1999 constitution 7. In the exercise of its powers to impose any tax or duty on - (a) capital gains, incomes or profits or persons other than companies; and (b) documents or transactions by way of stamp duties. the National Assembly may, subject to such conditions as it may prescribe, provide that the collection of any such tax or duty or the administration of the law imposing it shall be carried out by the Government of a State or other authority of a State. How is the FG now the delegating Authority? The FG has no authority except that empowered by the VAT Act which cannot supercede the law as enshrined in the Constitution. That is the reason they are trying to smuggle it in to amend that part of the Constitution. Items that the FG can collect taxes on are well enumerated in Part 1 of the Schedule, there was no VAT whatsoever and Part II is between the State and Federal Legislatures. The fact that State legislatures don't act doesn't mean it is right. The 1999 Constitution is the grundnorm and any part of a law that is out of tune with it must wither as a “dead branch of a living tree.” No way, I do not support the FIRS' continuance of collecting VAT......I don't. The FHC by virtue of the judgement invalidated the VAT Act passed by the National Assembly for been in conflict with the Constitution. The Court also noted that the provisions of Item 7(a) and (b) of Part II of the Second Schedule of the Constitution do not extend the legislative competence of the National Assembly beyond capital gains, incomes or profits of persons other than companies, and documents or transactions by way of stamp duties. Therefore, the National Assembly lacks the power to enact any law to impose any form of sales tax, including VAT, and any other tax outside of those specifically mentioned in Item 7(a) and (b) of Part II of the Second Schedule of the Constitution... The judgement is a Declaratory one and subsists. 1 Like |
