Very very true... Let it extent to all form of national revenue... Including oil earning.. not only where tinubu's Lagos have comparative advantage...

It should not b about only VAT, also all oil earnings also... Let's the argument begin

Nope, Oil companies/IOC should pay their tax to the oil producing states, and not where their office is located. QED

Do you realize that Nigeria was existing before oil was discovered?
Do you even realize that Nigeria will be more prosperous without oil?
If regional govt is instituted today, I'm sure places like Bayelsa will be so back even with loads of oil.

Yes, they pay their tax in Lagos because they have their office there, when actual production is taking place in Niger Delta. This is a big scam Lagos people don't want to talk about.

But Lagos people are bringing the bill?
Any aberration is because the companies are lazy
No one forces them to attribute everything to Lagos

Tax is not the way you explained it, companies pay company income tax which goes to federal government, and staff tax is paid to states, if the oil company staff are in Bayelsa, Bayelsa state government will collect the tax and those staff in Lagos will pay to Lagos state.

Watching channels now.
Nassarawa governor(virtually), former speaker,Hon. Yakubu Dogara etc present.All supported the bill after a lengthy explanation from Mr Taiwo Oloyede.
Lagos takes more than 80% vat now but the proposed new Lagos vat will be 15% while Kano receiving 0.86% will now be 6.something% and all states except Lagos and Rivers will be collecting more vat in the proposed tax bill.
I think the people who generated these tax bills are geniuses.
Within a year or two,Nigeria will be a real success.

That is not true. The oil companies does their PAYE Tax from Lagos where their office is. The actual exploration and production activities takes place in the Niger Delta. Lagos takes all the PAYE tax of the IOC
Re: Tax Bill; You Cannot Take Bayelsa Money & Pay Lagos - Senator Dickson by Kamosh: 10:47pm On Dec 02, 2024
Don't argue on what you know nothing about, you remit your paye where you resides, it is called residency rule, I work in Lagos, I stay is Ogun state, my paye is remitted to Ogun state governments

That is not true. The oil companies does their PAYE Tax from Lagos where their office is. The actual exploration and production activities takes place in the Niger Delta. Lagos takes all the PAYE tax of the IOC[/quote]

This is wrong
Lagos does not take all th3 PAYE

STOP the emotional rant

Those workers who Iive full time in the oil producing states pay PAYE to those states
There are leakages for those workers especially contract staff that are flown in on helicopters and move to offshore locations or move from one state to another . If you are on a salary for one employer and work in 4 different states regularly it is complex
Some are attributed to Lagos and many do not pay any tax to any state at all. They actually pay tax in their home country if they are not Nigerian .
Do not make sweeping statements about things you are clueless about.
Take an FPSO 100 miles off the coast e.g. it is not in any state.
If any PAYE is paid there it will accrue to the state designated by the workers
If they are Nigerian they have a choice to state where they live if they are foreign it may be Lagos but most claimm non domiciled status

I like one particular point raised by Mr Silva there. 👉 Those against the tax reform bill should stop making unnecessary outcry, they should rather present their case and back it up with statistics.

In my opinion, sorry to say this; those northern lawmakers against this reform are intellectually lazy. Where's their comprehensive argument? Are they just waking up in this late hour when these bills have been making rounds for over a month?

Below is what I posted about this tax reform bills as far back as October: 👇👇👇

Where is the the payroll organised from ? Is it the creeks of the Niger Delta ? HR and the admins are all based in Lagos and they organised the payroll and PAYE tax from Lagos. Remember Sen. Dickson was a governor, and he knows the grave injustice that was done to the oil producing states
