What you should know

Value Added Tax is a levy charged on each stage of production of goods and services to the end-user, usually the final consumer.

Nigerians had commenced the payment of 7.5% Value Added Tax on Facebook and Instagram adverts since January 1st, 2022. The social media platform had announced that as a result of the regulation of the Nigerian government, all advertisements on the platform whether for personal or business purposes will be subjected to a 7.5% Value Added Tax.

Other countries that imposed VAT on online business

In the United Kingdom, the law states that “If you are a business making supplies of digital services to UK consumers, those supplies are liable to UK VAT. If you make supplies of digital services to consumers outside the UK these are not liable to UK VAT.”

Indonesia has a similar law with a ten percent VAT rate for online businesses. The Indonesian provision states that no matter where you are based, you must pay ten percent VAT if you have customers in Indonesia. Websites, internet service providers, online adverts, and affiliate marketing are all on the list.

In Egypt, online advertisements are subject to a 14%  VAT, which applies to enterprises with annual sales of more than EGP 500,000.
