Out of the total amount generated in Q2 2021, N187.43 billion was generated as Non-Import VAT locally while N207.69 billion was generated as Non-Import VAT for foreign. The balance of N117.13 billion was generated as NCS-Import VAT.

Based on available data, Nigeria generated its highest ever quarterly value-added taxes. It is worth noting that the VAT collections started peaking in Q1 2020 after the federal government increased the VAT rate from 5% to 7.5% in January 2020.

Backstory

Nairametrics reported in May 2021 that Nigeria’s VAT collections surged by 52.93% year-on-year in Q1 2021, from N324.58 billion to N496.39 billion. The increase was attributed to increased economic activities in the country, as opposed to the comparable period of 2020 when economic activities were put on hold due to the covid-19 lockdown.

What this means

The increase recorded in VAT collection indicates increased economic activity in the country and shows optimism on the part of the revenue-generating ability of the federal government, especially at a time when oil revenues are not at their best.

    1.2 billion USD from VAT alone at 7.5%. Increase the VAT and you have more money to build and maintain infrastructures. It is worthy of exploring all other things being equal.
