Oil/Gas Producing States:

“Imagine if states are fully allowed to control their own oil/gas resources and not distributed to other states based on population”.

Now imagine if all the states mandate all oil companies in their domain to remit their VAT through their state. You will see some states revenue will rise...

Don't forget that most oil companies in South-South remit their VAT and tax through Lagos state

Nothing is working in Anambra...

Fact

No wonder Mr. Fubara dey gabu

Flangelo12:


Ondo and Lagos state would be balling.

As they should be. Everyone should control their resources so nobody will have reason to feel exploited

stanluiz:
Last time I check nobody is trooping to oshogbo, abeokuta, herrbadan, akure etc ? Wetin want carry person go there

If it is Lagos , yes. Why ? Because of advantage FG gave her over other states and also been a former FCT.

Something must kill a cow

They will say the girl is fine because she’s tall and has nice shape

They will say World Cup was rigged for Messi

Na who pass know book, you sef go get your own advantage

You're right. Nothing is working in the east. It is time to tell the amala president to divide the contraption. Let the parasitic south east leave you alone. I don't understand how someone will be a tapeworm in your intestine yet you will oppose the idea of taking drugs that will take the tapeworm away. South east needs to go so that Oshogbo will become the new Japan. You already have a good headstart with big IGR

Mumu you are the ones jumping on night buses migrating from your cursed land😆😆 which other tribe do you see deserting their homes to go develop another man’s land?

If you are tired, you will be the ones to get your reps to sponsor a bill for referendum so you can peacefully leave

Remember lagospedia help to echoe the sentiment of most of us we are fed up with you parasites but instead of you to take it in good faith and leave you called for his head😆😆

After all we didn’t send you an invite before you economic migrants started moving in to Yorubaland in droves😆😆

Kiss the truth my brother

What happened to River state suit on VAT in 2021 inspired by Wike?
Guess it's been swept under the carpet as Wike too now has a chair on D dinning table

Fact

You are mistaken for your state of origin.

Mention your state. Don't called Lagos because I know you are not from Lagos

Good one this my judgment let all states that are getting vat from alcoholic beverages should spend their gains and others too should spend theirs too and not to be shared with almajaris oooooo

Lagos #249b and the total still remains #44b?

How much did you receive?

The government doesn't deserve all the taxes they impose on people. In my place, no light, no road, we sink our own borehole for water, we buy fuel to power generator. What exactly have the government done to warrant them collecting percentage of the food and drink I bought with my money?

Kogi has bigger vat than Kaduna??

Lots of people are dumb though, so this foolery of a post might thrive a bit.

Funny enough they put ekiti 11😂😂😂😂

yoruboid:
Just imagine states were allowed to collect and control their VAT

Apart from Anambra, which is just about N700m higher, Ekiti has more VAT revenue than all the states in the SE

being fleeced by corrupt politicians is not a flex. What have the government done to warrant them charging taxes on food and drink you bought with your money?

The largest source of VAT is vat associated with customs duties, that is why Lagos and Rivers are getting so much.Do You know the part of the country that pays most of the customs duty and associated vat? Try to understand the economy and stop spending all your time on nairaland spreading ethnic hatred.

Ondo is a yeye state. Imagine!

There are just few viable companies in Ondo State, so where will they get VAT to collect.

WorkTheTalk:
Lagos: N249.77bn

What did you expect when all the important companies in Nigeria have their head offices in Lagos, and pay VAT there, instead of their production and consumption bases?

Just imagine oil companies exploring, drilling and doing oil transactions in Akwa Ibom State, but go to Lagos state to pay VAT just because their head offices are in Lagos. It has always being a lopsided arrangement to cheat the minority.

At the end, you would hear some illiterates telling people from other regions to leave Lagos, and go back to their states not knowing that majority of the development in Lagos came from those states.

Exactly, besides that, the revenue collected in Lagos was created by the federal government. All the roads and infrastructure, electricity, seaport, airports etc that made Lagos the centre for commerce actually belongs to FG and at large the common wealth of the country. It is an undue advantage to give that 60% common wealth of Nigeria to Lagos while the states thaf produces agricultural produce have zero support from FG and still isn't taxed.

It was the same scenario when states were allowed to reconstruct federal roads and get reimbursed. Rich states like Akwa Ibom took advantage and the FG owned them billions. This just created a situation where rich states got more road projects indirectly funded by the FG without the federal principles of wealth distribution. This bill will do exactly that.

Most companies are located in south west. Even oil companies that get their oil in the old Eastern regions are still been taxed in lagos

yoruboid:

Apart from Lagos that the FG continues to criminally empower, Rivers State has more VAT than the entire SW

Fine, but what about all other non-coastal states that are collecting VAT than other Eastern states, which have big commercial centres? Why is this so?

When it comes to census the mumu fulanis will say say Kano state has more population now we can see the population in figure.

It's better we start a regional government in this country is not let divide straight

You completely miss the point. A huge percentage of the vat paid in Lagos and Rivers state is still paid by the people You hate,the Igbos.A single importer pays more than 4m as vat on a 40 ft container

LastGiantAlive:


Very good . Now tell the amala of yoruba people eyes to divide the country since Ekiti vat alone can power the whole of Europe and south east asia combined. Let us yoruba muslims now go and govern ourselves. This is the right time. We can't continue to beg for unity despite having high IGR without toilet facilities

Who will help you to beg for separation?
You don’t have elders in your five regions?

Ebubu8:
Ebonyi Abakaliki generated more VAT than Enugu, Abia, Imo and 13 other states

Ebonyi Abakaliki is not the poorest state in South East truly.

Ebonyi is the smallest and the youngest state in the east. However, it had proven to be above all when you check things "relatively". I want to assume it because they generally are not proud as many other eastern state

But how can imo,abia state has less vat
How can ekiti state has more vat than ogun d next industrial state to lagos & ondo a cocoa producing state?
How can kaduna has less vat?
