The Northern Governors Forum has kicked against the proposed Tax Reform Bill that was forwarded to the National Assembly.

It stated that the proposed tax bill is against the interests of the North and other sub-nationals.

In a communique read by the chairman of the forum and Governor of Gombe state, Mohammed Yahaya, the governors frowned at the proposed amendment to the distribution of Value Added Tax (VAT) to Derivation-based Model.

The “Forum notes with dismay the content of the recent Tax Reform Bill that was forwarded to the National Assembly. The contents of the Blare against the interests of the North and other sub-nationals especially the proposed amendment to the distribution of Value Added Tax (VAT) to a Derivation-based Model”.

The forum therefore called on of the National Assembly to oppose the bill that can jeopardise the well-being of their people.

“This is because companies remit VAT using the location of their headquarters and tax office and not where the services and goods are consumed. In view of the foregoing, the Forum unanimously rejects the proposed Tax Amendments and calls on of the National Assembly to oppose any bill that can jeopardise the well-being of our people,” the governors said.

It also demanded equity and fairness in the implementation of all Federal Government programmes and policies.


The governors called for “equity and farness in the implementation of all national policies and programmes so as to ensure that no geopolitical zone is short-changed or marginalised”.

Beautiful

You guys would never think outside box, how you can take care of urself, always be looking for feeding bottle, I imagine, how ur region would have been, if you are from, "half of yellow sun", that never given opportunity to hold power at centre.

There should be exclusive list in the tax reforms.

Telecom can generate graphic of people usages in a particular states. From the stats they can remit the tax to the state.

Companies that have headquarters in a particular state should paid there tax to federal government which can then be shared by all states.

States that reject beer shouldn’t collect from the tax.


It’s even better to resolve the unworkable country we are only delaying the doomsday

What is this one saying

You all voted for balablu, stop complaining and enjoy the renewed hope.

A town hall different from ...........

Everything is against the interest of the north,payment of tax against the north,anchor borrowers scheme against the north,do you think true federalism is a joke,everything north want it free at the expense of who,north is not interested in paying taxes but you have the best federal roads,decently built public infrastructures at the expense of others in the name of contraband unity

They are not concerned about the rate and effects on Cost but sharing formula.

The Govr should think more on how to track Consumption and make remittances localised there not this gbagba gbugbu news

North and SW, problems of Nigeria

what do you expect from a region that can't bring anything to the center? Always looking for feeding bottle

you reject alcohol but sharing from tax paid by the producers and s. what a hypocrisy

Hypocrite..

Tinubu should lobby for it to be implemented...

You cannot continue destroying bottles and be collecting money..

Yorubas and northerners are the problem of Nigeria. They have very poor voting choices. Watch the people they have ed within the last 10 years. Buhari was a calamity and Tinubu is a cancer mixed with an overdose of tuberculosis and leprosy.

“This is because companies remit VAT using the location of their headquarters and tax office and not where the services and goods are consumed

Nice argument, but why fight against sharing formular only and not also against taxing the citizens and companies to penury.

No be tinubu,more tax policies on the way

As long as it apabio n it's coming from T-pain forget it
It's ed already

Waste of time. Either they stop electing useless heads or find competent s. No more Quilox money for Zamfara and the likes.

Why are northerners like this? You don't want beer to be sold in your States because to you, it is haram, but you want to collect tax derived from the same commodity you called haram.

You can't eat your cake and still have it.

Na lie,e don work finish, make Una hold buhari responsible

The North wants to eat from where it does not sow.

If they can change the tax bills, remove subsidies, then they can change the current constitution. The current constitution is a bottleneck to development in Nigeria!

You want the proceeds of alcohol that you term haram?

Kano state destroys countless crates of beer, for example, but wants the tax collected from other states that consume it?

Is that fairness to you?

Tinubu will be OTP, if he continues like this, a dog that will be lost, will not hear the whistle of hunter.

Lol... You destroy bear bottles because of your sharia law but want to benefit from the same tax huh?

Godfullsam:


What is this one saying

This is because companies remit VAT using the location of their headquarters and tax office and not where the services and goods are consumed.


This is wayo how can taxes be paid in Lagos for good an services consumed in the North e.g bank, telecom, airline e.t.c VAT are paid by people as they purchase or consume a product because vat is inclusive in the product or service they purchased.

Geopex:
useless people. they should get more revenue through sharia law in there states. they knows how to destroy people businesses in the name of sharia law.

Fool so all the vat of products and services consumed in the North should be paid to Lagos including imports which goes to the North should be paid to lagos. Does that make sense to you
