These offences carry penalties ranging from fines of up to N 10, 000 to various terms of imprisonment. In some cases, the fines or penalties depending on the amount of evasion involved. The law is even stricter in dealing with officers of the Board. Any officer of the Board who aids or abets the commission of any of the offences under the VAT law will be liable to a fine of N 50, 000.00 and/or imprisonment for five years.

VAT RATES AND PENALTIES

The World Corporate and Income Tax Comparison Rates, VAT/GST rates around the world range from 5% to 21%. Nigeria’s VAT rate is one of the lowest in the world at 5%. Entities that charge and receive VAT are expected to file/remit it to the Federal Inland Revenue Service through the tax authority on or before the 21st day of the month following that in which the purchase or supply was made.

Section 35 of VAT Act stipulates a penalty of N 5,000.00 every month that returns are not made.

Failure to register with FIRS within the specified time attracts a penalty of N10,000 for the first month in which the failure occurs & N5,000 for the subsequent months in which the failure continues. If this persists, the premises where the business is carried out may be sealed.

The DUE DATE for filing returns and remitting VAT is 21st day of the month following the month of transaction i.e 21st day of every month. Failure to file returns and remit VAT attracts penalties as stipulated in the VAT Act.

There's so much ambiguity in what the OP lifted and dumped here.

I'll simply as follows.

1. VAT is to be paid by the beneficiary of a service to the service provider. Good example. DSTV or Startimes subscription may actually be ₦1900. But they need to collect VAT on behalf of FIRS. Hence your subscription would then be ₦1900+(5% of ₦1900)= ₦1995 per month. But in most cases the companies round up the figure to ₦2000.

2. After DSTV collects the VAT from you the subscriber, they're not to include that ₦95 as part of their income, rather they must remit to FIRS(Federal Inland Revenue Services)

3. I'll use myself as an example. I'm a consultant in Real Estate and Legal Professions. Hence, when I charge for a service or court case, I must collect VAT from my client. Here's it. If I'm to charge ₦5,000,000 for a case/service, I'll simply ask the client to pay ₦5,000,000+(5% of ₦5,000,000)= ₦5,250,000.

At the end of the month, I must remit the extra ₦250,000 to FIRS.

4. All companies registered either Business Name, PLC or LTD, they must collect VAT from their clients or consumers of their services and remit same to FIRS.

5. The day you register your company, same day CAC send your details to FIRS and FIRS generates what's called TIN(Tax Identification Number). That number is like and accout. Hence, when you pay or you don't pay, FIRS will just go to your account to see your balance.

6. Can you lie to FIRS that you didn't make money? Yes you can, but you'll be caught. Cos FIRS will go to your bank to show them your Statement of Account, with that you can be sanctioned or jail for either tax avoidance or tax evasion
