Read Time:2 Minute, 47 Second
The Federal Government has announced the exemption of 63 items from Value-Added Tax (VAT) as part of its latest fiscal reforms.
Taiwo Oyedele, the Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, revealed this in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday.
The exemptions are outlined in the official ‘Value Added Tax (Modification) Order, 2024,’ dated September 3, 2024.
The announcement follows the recent introduction of fiscal concessions aimed at revitalising Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, as disclosed by the Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun.
The two key incentives unveiled include the VAT modification order and tax reliefs for deep offshore oil and gas production, as per the Oil and Gas Companies (Tax Incentives, Exemption, Remission, etc.) Order 2024.
Furthermore, the official gazette specifies that the provisions concerning Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) are retroactive, taking effect from October 1, 2023.
Similarly, it was gathered that President Bola Tinubu may bar revenue-generating agencies from collecting revenues on behalf of the Federal Government as he plans to introduce a single agency—the Nigeria Revenue Service—to handle the task.
This came as the Federal Government instituted a comprehensive set of fresh tax reforms aimed at significantly boosting revenue collection.
In September 2024, FEC approved economic stabilisation bills and proposed 10 changes to spur economic growth.
