Upshots – The reduction in VAT revenue in the first quarter of 2019 may be largely due to the general elections. However, this claim may not be totally true due to the fact that tracking back to the corresponding period in Q1 2015, VAT generated increase by 53% between Q4 2014 and Q1 2015. This suggests that the general election may not be the sole reason for the downturn in VAT for the period under review.

However, improvement in VAT is expected as the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has perfected plans to begin VAT collection on online transactions any moment from now. Also, the agency recently disclosed that it expected to generate between between N750 billion and N1 trillion by clamping down on businesses that failed to embrace the Federal Government’s tax amnesty programme.
