I don't even understand the format they're using to share this VAT self
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by richmond500: 7:05pm On Jun 17, 2025
Ok. So only 4 states are giving more than they collect.........
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by sreamsense: 7:12pm On Jun 17, 2025
It means a state they call brown roof is actually feeding them(audio billionaires of the rising east) from her brown roof proceeds. Respect needs to be given to Oyo for being more viable than them combined

Completely false.

This shows you don't know how vat revenue works

In the current setup in Nigeria, VAT revenue or tax is collected from the point of production instead of the point of consumption. Also this kind of Tax is being remitted to the Federal government and to be shared among the states which is totally different from state IGR.

I pray my state doesn't generate anything for the looting regime to loot. Nansense
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by jonadaft: 5:55am On Jun 18, 2025
Can you imagine the rip off off many of these states.

The most annoying thing is the fact that, many if their governors are doing nothing with it than stealing.

They are lazy and parasites to the country. They'll continue to give less and collect money.
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by crossfm: 5:56am On Jun 18, 2025
Hehehe.

We keep on hearing this for years now.

My annoyance is that both what states generate and what the federal government gives to them have not been able to improve the lives of people in Nigeria.

Our politicians will end up looting the money. In my opinion, corruption should be the first thing any government should tackle first if we need Nigeria to work.

Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by givedemwotowoto: 6:01am On Jun 18, 2025
This is fair for oil and gas producing states who have been generating more and receiving less for decades
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by Nyanabo(m): 6:01am On Jun 18, 2025
Delta State is just big for nothing. No serious governor since inception.
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by blamingthedevil: 6:03am On Jun 18, 2025
It is safe to say that South East is the parasite region. Unproductive Region

Benue State generates as much as the whole South East combined .

Those following Peter Obi, tell me the legacy of that man and other elected officials in the South East?
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by GeneralPula: 6:04am On Jun 18, 2025
Hmmm..

See figures from SE. Abia state is generating #2b lol..

A state like Kebbi is more productive than Imo & Abia state combined..

The Benue state Ibos were mocking recently is even more productive than Anambra!
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by Godsonkemz(m): 6:06am On Jun 18, 2025

VATs are paid by the headquarters of the business, not necessarily the field of their business or where the highest consumption is recorded. That not withstanding, VAT is borne by the final consumer.

Take for example, Milk and Egg products. Most of the headquarters of these companies are in Lagos (possibly Ogun too), but the highest VATs on them are actually paid by the South Easterners who consume more of this, closely followed by South-South. However, the VATs remitted to the Nigerian purse through their headquarters in Lagos.

So while it counts as VAT remitted by Lagos, it was actually paid by other regions. This explains a bit of why Lagos (and possibly Ogun) have VATs that dwarves the remaining states. Another advantage would be states with high oil and gas sector activities, and government presence too.

Does that do a bit of justice?

You will see them Insulting Oyo state, same Oyo they call brown roof Republic is feeding their parasitic region.

Ogun have more headquarters of companies than Oyo but Oyo still generated more Vats

Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by Celestialsword: 6:21am On Jun 18, 2025
Lagos always has the highest because that's the entry point of 99% of imported goods into the country.
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by ivandragon: 6:21am On Jun 18, 2025
Hopefully, the amended tax reform bill addresses issues like this.

Though like someone explained, head offices usually remit the taxes, especially in the case of telecoms, FMCGs, oil and gas.

Nevertheless, states need to work harder to make themselves more hospitable for big businesses.
Re: VAT: What States Generated And What They Received In Q1, 2025 by Walai(m): 6:21am On Jun 18, 2025
Are you aware if I buy something as simple as MTN recharge card here in Kogi the VAT is recorded at their head office in Lagos ?
