Jakpon:
They actually went to court to challenge this some years ago.

The case will be thrown out because a new sharing formulae has been approved and collection of VATs has been centralised

Absurd distribution

Facts...

So please support Biafra and work for oduduwa Republic so that you can turn America without others disturbing you.

Tinubu is President now oooo...do what uou want. Easily.

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Tinubu should just let States be issuing visas.

We will see which place will look like America and the one that will turn to Afghanistan.

U were still a baby or not yet born in 1993 when most igbos went back to their home town after abiola was poisoned in prison

Arkmanbuddy:
We have to revisit the VAT sharing formula for states. We can be having some states earning more VAT and getting less than what they contributed, while others contribute way lesser and get more, often 200% more. It's ridiculous!

This is making many governors lazy, depending on others for payment of recurrent expenses.

VAT is not the only source of money state remit to federal govt.
lets advocate for each state to control it resources
that is the only way

I used to pay salary like this then later discovered it made some my staff lazy, not just lazy but comes up with flimsy excuses so they won't come to work, so I changed everything to commission base on what you bring as profit, omooorrrr everybody step up

The South West remains the most marginalized region in the country.
Unfortunately those who gain the most have no regards for their benefactor.

Even the Northern state that battling terrorism are doing better than the South Eastern states.

Peter was a governor in one of those states.

OredoPikin:
Lol
is it only VAT that states brings to the table?

What is the topic of discussion right now?

See zamfara state at 34..let's just keep lying to each other... whatever those state are generating from God is not remitted to the federal government...
They keep appearing poor on papers ...but they are so wealthy enough to compete with oil rich states

President Tinubu has increased allocation, hold your governors accountable.

Yet you gag the media

Monkey Dey work, baboon Dey chop

Look at how poor leadership has turned oil-producing states to Almajiri states.

Parachoko:
I'm still in shock Governors and Lawmakers from states like Lagos, Rivers, Oyo etc didn't ask for more allocation from VAT they generate

VAT is a consumption tax. Are you aware that vat charges by banks in all states in Nigeria are reported as lagos due to Headquarter been there. Dangote cement, coke and other big companies so same. So technically it is not lagos generated

OredoPikin:

There is almost no index of development that the Southwest isn't topping...!

how come there is no breakdown for petroleum profit taxes? Make we see who really dey feed Nigeria 😂

During buhari era Lagos & rivers took the fg to court on this hilarious vat sharing issue

Normally now that tinubu the defacto gov of Lagos and now president and his ally wike should you will think they would have agreed and come up with the law for states to retain their vat

While the fg generated vat from import and ports etc should be the one to be shared

But

No

Their action then was just on deceit to unsettle buhari, just has they are doing with state police

Good. My dear Edo State should reduce the tax on people here.

I can see some Yorubas screaming "unfair" in the comment section. You will never see the statistics on our oil revenue: what each state contributes and what it receives. The reason is simple: our south south states and two states from the southeast are feeding the whole nation. The so-called oil in Ondo is an offshore drilling on Edo land close to the Owena River Basin.

When you want to talk about justice, be just by not selecting on the side that favours you.

I love how most of the States indirectly got back what their citizens contributed to Lagos, Rivers, and all other high-earning States for a balance ,

Una don see why den dey envy the Yorubas😹😹

I can bet my two balls for this list that something is faulty somewhere . How can Akwa Ibom state earn more than contributed. A state that's in top 2 oil producers in the nation.

How na??

budaatum:
Did Lagos, Rivers, Oyo etc ask for more allocation?

The did ask. Just haven't gotten it yet.

stop [posting AI summary, the source may be from a nairaland post oer some anonymous twitter post.

Give us source we can verify, do the work and stop being lazy. That's why AI is taking your jobs.

Wow no wonder the unity of the nation is non negotiable

Na Ogun and Anambra shock me. both are highly industralised and heavily commercial yet they collect more than they receive.

Na Oyo surprise me pass. whether na Ibadan or the mining revenue from the hinterland, their VAT revenue is really commendable.

How Borno mamanged to perform better than most states, that should be the major talking point of this thread.

The truth is that the state governors receive so much and do so little.
No wonder all is shouting on your mandate we stand because monies / foods are taken away from the Nigerian people and handed to them to do whatever they like without accountability. Local governments allocation may not be included here ooo which they also seat on.
APC is a total disaster because they don't consider the common man. All our wealth is handed to a very few cabals while hunger finishes the rest of Nigerians.
The center allocation was not mentioned ooo and still we take loans everyday to fund the so called projects. Shame on anyone that will vote APC back to power.

Index of development?

and op won't ban dis trash...did VAT tell u about those who contributed to it?...are those staying in Lagis from other states not paying tax?....so what silly excuse is dis?

The state-by-state VAT comparison in Nigeria is misleading because it does not reflect actual consumption. VAT in Nigeria is not collected at the point of sale like in many countries. It is mostly paid where companies are headquartered or process transactions.

Dangote Refinery pays VAT in Lagos but sells petrol across Nigeria. Car importers pay VAT in Lagos ports but the cars are used nationwide. Nigerian Breweries pays VAT where its factories are located but sells across the country.

So we should stop using VAT figures to push false narratives about which state contributes or consumes more.

OredoPikin:
Index of development?

Yes... What part of that phrase is tripping you up?!!

If dangote has sited all his companies in kano, nobody will be talking about this lies. Dangote alone pays the highest vat in Nigeria.
