Nope, Oil companies/IOC should pay their tax to the oil producing states, and not where their office is located. QED
They should also ship it and connect to the international market through the waterways of the oil producing states rarada grin
Oga without Lagos no Oil can be sold, Lagos is just the economy center for West Africa not only Nigeria grin

To solve this tax issue, it better that all multinationals that want operator in other states must have their headquarters in Abuja. Abuja should be collecting that VAT not Lagos .
Even if it’s one room to represent as headquarters in Abuja.

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.
Nigeria will not be any successful, those Governor's and others in position of authorities will loot and siphon the money

There is 13% derivation for Oil already... it can be increased though.
[b]The question, however, is, what have they been doing with the 13% derivation? [/b]Those states should be richer than some countries by now. Unfortunately, even ordinary infrastructure, they haven't been able to provide for their people. We all know why...
The question is that, what is your state doing with its share of 87% is sharing from ? Why is your state like a village ?

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
But they're oil workers in Bayelsa, Rivers too...
PAYE is just remittance from your salary not from what accrued from oil earnings so if you're earning within Lagos and resides there you pay your Tax

I work as an operations manager of a company Anambra State, my taxes are remitted to Lagos state government because, our company HQ is in Lagos, this is not right at all, my taxes should be paid to Anambra State government, cuz na dem dey provide the basic amenities i dey enjoy.
I don't think that's the case your company still pay tax to Anambra state there is still a tax system set up to for the Headquarters not you to pay in Lagos

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.
THAT IS INCORRECT!!

OIL EXISTED IN THE NIGER DELTA SOIL BEFORE COLONIAL MASTERS CAME AND CREATED NIGERIA

It won't.

The major issue, which is corruption won't let the taxes bear any major fruit.


I can bet on this, not even in fours years will any major positive results be gotten from the Taxes.

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.
What happened to your 13% derivation,SS states get one of the highest from ecological fund,NDdC is also there and well funded.

You are only just mixing this tax reform matter up....tinubu wants bayelsa to start receiving VAT revenue based on what you consume there....if you buy a designer watch in bayelsa or drink VSOP,the VAT should remain there to be used to develop the state and not brought to Abuja to be shared by all the states as we are currently doing.

Dickson is with tinubu on this tax reform....don't confuse yourself.

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.
Don't mind those wailers with empty craniums who allows themselves to be gaslighted by those obidients and ipob.

When myopia is at work.

Is it Tax reform that took China to the top?

Is it taxation that made US the primary economic superpower?

Is it changing tax laws that took Singapore economy to where it is?

Abi was it Tax Bill that made UAE a reference point?

You know nothing!

Any govt that cannot boast of creating an environment where it's SME's can thrive but is claiming future growth is just a joker!

That's exactly what is in tax reform. He is obviously supporting the tax reform,reason north is against it. VAT on alcohol should be for alcohol drinkers.

You've spoken my mind, I've never met a single person that reasoned along this line. Tinubu is pursuing this tax reform because it'd ultimately favour Lagos. How about Niger Deltans also clamoring for 60% derivation, not the meagre 13% that they're given now. Besides, Lagos is where it is today all thanks to the common wealth that was used to build it as a former capital. It's just like in 50 years to come Gbagyis claiming that their hard work builds Abuja.
