FearlessYoruba:
Then stop crying because the bill was sponsored by formal Lagos governor

We are playing our usual opposition politics, and Tinubu is on the table now.

My people are indifference to the tax bill, buy we are negotiating

The region crying for Biafra are the ones even benefiting from one Nigeria.
Without us, they are broke! They are landlocked

FearlessYoruba:
All other states are robbing Lagos and Rivers state

You are a mad man

Most of you run into a thread on a social media. Just to comment trashes.
Most companies paying taxes to Lagos State government are not operating there. They only do so cos their heads offices are located there. However, companies who pays major in taxes are oil companies and these Oil companies operates in South South and Southeast states of Nigeria

Delta and Bayelsa

Smh

Ori ti daru. Ethnic bigot

Rivers that they want to stop their allocation

South East States are parasites

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Imo State like the rest of the region should be designated as Open Defecation Site.

Imagine. They contributed 600m and received over 6 billion

The ONLY thing they contribute are hoelowshow women and criminal men.

Abokis they cheat us no be small,

Is vat recorded at point of production or point of sales

With this tax bill and the result am seeing so far, I support the President fully on this.. Some will want to argue that is all about Lagos but it's not so
If my state Imo, will generate this poor and other states, especially in the south, then it goes to show how lazy and unproductive our governors are and with this bill all of them must sit up.. Any idiot that is against this bill is an enemny of the masses and should be stoned.
You can't tell me with all the SMEs in Aba and even in Anambara they are generating this poor volume in Vat that goes to show it's easy they are been lazy to collect the VAT or they are simply under declaring the actual amount based on the feeding bottle system.

So, President Tinubu must be encouraged to make this bill a reality, let we citizens at least for once start holding our governors to account not all the time FG.. Rubbish!

Are the state govs in charge of collecting VAT

Which kind ignorant rant be dis?

OreMI22:
Rubbish report!

So there are only 10 states in Nigeria?

Or, are these the only 10 states where VAT is collected and reimbursed?

Being smart by half!

Show your own report nah. 🥴

lagos self they rob Niger delta

sachidistudios:
MTN pays the biggest VAT over 200 billion naira monthly to Lagos because there headquarters is in Lagos. They deduct VAT from their customers and remit it to government. Now tell me, is it only Lagos residents that use MTN network? Lagos is cheating the rest of the country and this must stop. We support the new tax reform bill

tax reforms don’t mean Mtn should relocate. Why should it ?

Tax reforms means, generate or collect equivalent of what you generate

The collection formula is faulty and has been adressed by the new tax bill. Vat on phone calls all over Nigeria are attributed to lagos because of head office, dangote cement and sugar consumed all over is also attributed yo head office. Misleading and disingenuous

It won't make sense to you...


It can never make sense to you.

Prove your claim or get out!

Sometimes it's not worth it exchanging words with people on this website. If you physically meet them, you will knock yourself for wasting your own time.

I advise us to read Taiwo Oyedele's comments on the reason why Lagos has a high figure.

It is solely because of the headquarters of some big companies are based in Lagos. The VATable services of Exonmobile, Shell and Chevron are mostly consumed in the Niger Delta while Lagos is ranked as the source without proper VAT attribution.

aswani:
Absolutely, and some are robbing much more than others. Tax Reform now!

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Instead of all the stupid stuff you wrote...

Tell MTN to relocate to Enugu where they wouldn't be able to open office on Mondays.

You think MTN weren't smart enough to choose the best site ? Were they forced to ?

I'm sure you claim to be a "graduate". This is what miracle centers do to you...

the new tax bill will be passed soon and will adress this . VAT is a consumption tax , MTN has offices, masts and telecommunications equipment in Enugu. All this one you are saying makes no sense

CyrusVI:
Delta and Bayelsa

Smh

It's pathetic that Delta is just contributing a tiny amount. The south east is just out of it.

Remove 200B MTN remittance from Lagos VAT and have the real value

Let us just divide the country now

aswani:
Absolutely, and some are robbing much more than others. Tax Reform now!

Robbing you say when Telecoms pay only to Lagos State but it is being consumed in all states

FearlessYoruba:
All other states are robbing Lagos and Rivers state

And if they say, separate!

Lqgos will pooo their pants

I go dey drink beer and ogogoro and killing my liver and these aboki state will be collecting my tax and destroying their own alcohol .

Time for Oil companies to move their HQs to their center of operation

Nope, the whole money from other states are spent in Lagos. So technically Lagos is robbing the other states
