Why this matters

Nairametrics had reported a 52.93% year-on-year increase in value-added taxes generated by Nigeria in Q1 2021 as it recorded N496.39 billion VAT. This means that Nigeria has received a sum of N792.1 billion in Q1 2021 from CIT and VAT.

Revenue generated from these taxes represents 86.1% of the projected tax revenue (N920.14 billion) in the 2021 budget document. With crude oil prices growing in recent weeks and projected to hit $80 per barrel by summer, this revenue is expected to witness a moderate increase in subsequent quarters.
