FG Makes N909 Billion From VAT in 2017 by Nobody: 10:29pm On Jan 11, 2018
Between October 2016 and September 2017, the federation account received a total inflow of N908.9bn in Value Added Tax receipts from the Federal Inland Revenue Service, figures obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics have revealed.

An analysis of the VAT report obtained from the NBS showed that the amount was collected from 28 sectoral activities during the period under review.

A breakdown of the amount showed that the sum of N207.35bn was generated in the fourth quarter of 2016, while the first, second and third quarters of 2017 had N204.77bn, N246.3bn and N250.56bn, respectively.

In the report signed by the Statistician General of the Federation and Chief Executive, NBS, Dr. Yemi Kale, the bureau said the manufacturing sector with N115.76bn generated the highest amount of VAT revenue.

The NBS report said the manufacturing sector is closely followed by professional services and oil producing sectors with both generating N83.76bn and N47.6bn respectively.

On the other hand, the report said the mining sector generated the least VAT of N136.38m in the one year period.

Other sectors that generated the lowest VAT revenue are the local governments with N798.08m and pharmaceutical, soaps and toiletries with N1.55bn.



The report read in part, “Sectoral distribution of VAT data for Q3 2017 reflected that the sum of N250.56bn was generated as VAT in Q3 2017 as against N246.30bn generated in Q2 2017 and N196.70bn in Q3 2016.”

The framework under which VAT is administered allows the Federal Government to get 15 per cent of VAT revenue, while the states and local governments receive 50 per cent and 35 per cent, respectively.

The Minister of Finance,Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, had said that 55 per cent of the revenue generated by the Federal Government from VAT receipts was collected from Lagos State.

Adeosun, had during a meeting with progressive governors forum explained that the balance of 45 per cent are generated from the remaining 35 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory.

Giving a breakdown of the receipts from VAT, she said while Lagos accountedfor 55 per cent of VAT revenue, 20 per cent came from the FCT.

Nigeria is a nation with huge potential but it is rapidly being neutralized by population even before the potential comes close to being realized.

Lol you are right.
Me actually thinks that a less socialist drift would give Nigerians reasons not to give birth to many kids. If we continue at this rate funding higher education, healthcare would become a very very serious problem in the future.
I imagine what Lagos would have been if it had, say just 5 million people.

Sometimes I wonder how far this nation would have gone if it was just SS/SE/SW-though they have their differences but they would have fared far better together than this current arrangement. When we pull our natural, human resources and intellectual worth together we would have been on cruise right now. South Africa might even ve a learner.

I just see Northern Nigeria as a burden or yoke on the South. We would always have to drag the North along. And you know how hard it would be dragging something bigger than you forward. You would move at snail speed! If the North was smaller it would have been easier but they are to big to be redundant without pulling everyone down in all spheres.

And since we can't have a secession it is important that we create very "Independent States" where Abuja is thoroughly deemphasized and the states have their resources to each develop at its own pace.

The FG should not forget that the bulk of that sum was mined in Lagos and must do the needful in sharing it.

They made and not 'makes'

It was last fiscal year measured between October 2016 and September 2017

October 2016 and September 2017 FG made 909 billion.

This year January - December, 2018 FG may either make same amount or more than that.

Giving a breakdown of the receipts from VAT, she said while Lagos accounted for 55 per cent of VAT revenue, 20 per cent came from the FCT.

Out of 36 states, one state contributed 55%, then we are left with 45%.

Lets analyze the remaining 45%.

Out of the 45%, 20% was made from Abuja, which is not included in the 36 states.

We are left with 25%.

This means that 35 states including all Niger Delta States contributed a paltry 25%.

I'm sure from the 25%, Ogun state may have contributed 5%, meaning the other 34 states contributed 20%.
