Investigations by our correspondent revealed that the two chambers of the federal parliament would not debate the controversial issues of the Value Added Tax and Stamp Duty due to litigation.
Shortly after the federal lawmakers adjourned for the annual long recess, the FIRS sent a letter to the committees working on the constitution review at both chambers, seeking amendments to the constitution, to give it the sole power to collect VAT in Nigeria.Similarly, the governments of Rivers and Lagos states are in court with the federal tax agency, seeking to take over the collection of VAT in their respective states.
Similarly, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Agriculture, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, declined comments when contacted on the issue. A ranking senator, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity said the VAT and Stamp Duty issue would not be brought forward for debate.
Good... Na state get VAT
I am glad hey will educate Buhari by force before he leaves office.
Lol. This one go pain them
State must collect their VAT...FIRS keep off
Lol sometimes I wonder how this people think .. they do things sometime like they’re not learned always wants to go through the back door unlawfully
If what they have been doing is exclusively their constitutional responsibility, why can't FG via FIRS wait for the judgment of the Supreme Court on the matter, in the event that the judgment is not even 'tankonized' by all means necessary by the clueless Fascist PMB's Regime.
