@Goldmehda1 @SundayDareSD Na content writer😅😅😅. No mind am

@SundayDareSD How I wish the money spent on this publicity would be channelled to people-oriented programs, these are the thing that would do the talking not this paper heading-written policies. Nigerians have suffered a lot 😎

Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reform here provides an invaluable insight. " ... Rivers state, Lagos state have been to court and they have won. If we get a judgement from the Supreme Court today to tell you that VAT should be collected and administered by state, that will be chaotic. It will take us back to 1986, business will suffer it and the economy will retrogress, we don’t want that. All the banks , almost all of them have headquarters in Lagos and they pay the VAT in Lagos, beverage companies, Nigerian breweries, Coca Cola they sell across Nigeria but they file in Lagos, currently, that VAT that is remitted in Lagos is being attributed to Lagos as being derived from Lagos but it’s not derived from Lagos, when you make calls it’s derived from across Nigeria which was why we thought that the next conversation we will have with Lagos is to move from where VAT is remitted to where the consumption takes place. Every state in Nigeria use mobile phones, they use airtime, they buy drinks, they buy cements but Dangote will remit VAT in Lagos. So we said let’s correct this distorted derivation and reflect economic activities everywhere those activities take place with purpose of sharing In the 90s, companies were filing returns everywhere then in 2024 we say file it in one place that’s what we’ve done for some years. Mtn can tell you where their subscribers are based, as a company you have distributors and they have addresses in five minutes they can tell you where their distributors are based and how much goods they’ve sent to them. Rather than saying the company producing the beverages has it headquarters in Lagos and that’s where we derive all of them from in Nigeria we send them to Ekiti, Zamfara, kebbi etc let them take credit for their economic activities and I think everyone should be happy about it except Lagos. Honestly, it’s only Lagos state that should not like what we are proposing. Rivers has mostly the oil companies, the story about rivers is that what the oil company sells is VAT exempt so they don’t have a lot of VAT in that sense that is attributed to them apart from the fact that the oil companies receive invoices by law they are meant to retain the VAT, that’s what they are remitting. On balance, this was meant to treat everybody equitablely, trying to get us out of the impression that when you start doing VAT at state level you make so much money which is not the case. Infact today; the VAT on import and international services is actually more than the VAT we collect in Nigeria within our jurisdiction and that amount that’s collected from international services is not attributed to any state, it goes into the pool and it’s shared. So we share today VAT between and among states based on derivation 20%, based on equity 50% based on population 30% We are proposing that correct the derivation and share 60% based on derivation, 20% based on population and 20% based on equality. The most attractive proposition we have is FG shields 5% of their share to states instead of taking 15% now we have 5% that can give us a buffer that we can use to do fiscal equalization and actually write in the law to guarantee every states that as a result of our reform you will not collected less than you would have collected under the old formula. It’s actually just saying to you as a state that your risk is zero but the upside is significant, your VAT revenue can double in less than 2 years if you allow this reform to go through because it would also motivate states to take interest in the economic activities within their jurisdictions. I will say we are making progress, I do think that the misunderstanding was based on people not reading all the provisions of the law because we are just trying to correct how this derivation is done and it is in the tax administration bill whereas the VAT law is in the Nigerian tax bill...

The Cardoso Naira vs Dollar Chess Game: A Fight to the Finish By Michael Chibuzo I have watched very keenly the flurry of activities in Nigeria's foreign exchange market in the past couple of days. It is obvious that the Central Bank of Nigeria under the leadership of Dr. Yemi Cardoso has laid down a monetary chess challenge with the dollar and operators of Nigeria's foreign exchange market. On 22nd September, 2023, Dr. Yemi Cardoso assumed office as the new Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. For two months, he did not make any key statement on the policy direction of the CBN until November 24, 2023 when he laid out what may be described as his first monetary policy speech at the 58th Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria’s annual dinner in Lagos. The key takeawys from Cardoso's speech at the dinner as it affects the Nigerian economy include the following: - There is a continuous decline in Nigeria's crude oil production, which has led to a decline in government revenue and foreign exchange inflows; - There is a growth in public expenditures to meet up with the required pace of growth. The combination of INCREASED public expenditure and REDUCED net public revenue led to fiscal deficit and public debt increase, placing additional strain on external reserves and contributing to exchange rate instability; - Insecurity remains a pressing issue, affecting the agricultural, industrial, and services sectors simultaneously. The net effect is reduced national productivity, food shortages and inflation; and - Unavoidable fuel subsidy removal and foreign exchange unification policy exacerbated a worsening macroeconomic indicators. So, in essence, Cardoso highlighted significant challenges facing the economy to include high and rising inflation, inadequate foreign exchange supply, depreciation of the exchange rate, limited external reserves, weakened output, and high unemployment. He said that the CBN will prioritize price stability to safeguard the livelihoods of Nigerians (ie tackling inflation) as well as stabilizing the exchange rate. These two areas if achieved will promote economic stability. The big question was always HOW. The first thing Cardoso sought to do (in his words) was "to build back a better CBN" that had been painted in bad light over the past few years due to various factors such as corporate governance failures, diminished institutional autonomy of the CBN, a deviation from the core mandate of the CBN, unorthodox use of monetary tools, an inefficient and opaque foreign exchange market that hindered clear access, a foray into fiscal activities under the cover of development finance activities etc. From the look of things, it was obvious that Cardoso was ready to make audacious policy u-turns from what was obtainable in the CBN. Strangely, he decided to bid his time before holding a Monetary Policy Committee meeting (last one was held in July, 2023). Obviously he wanted to clear the monetary table of a lot of 'debris' before constituting an MPC meeting. The volatility and lack of adequate liquidity in the foreign exchange market (which had earlier been liberalised) posed the most immediate challenge to Yemi Cardoso and he understood the implications for businesses and investors. This is why it appears he took it up as his topmost priority. At that CIBN dinner, Cardoso said, "in order to ensure the proper functioning of domestic and foreign currency markets, CLEAR, TRANSPARENT, and HARMONISED rules governing market operations are essential. New foreign exchange GUIDELINES and LEGISLATION will be developed, and extensive CONSULTATIONS will be conducted with banks and FX market operators before implementing any new requirements." On January 22nd, the CBN fixed February 26 - 27 as dates for its 293rd Monetary Policy Committee meeting - the first since Cardoso was appointed more than four months ago.
