How will VAT revenue be shared between the tiers of government?

The revenue-sharing formula has been adjusted to give more to the states and local governments:

  • Federal Government: 10%
  • State Governments: 55%
  • Local Governments: 35%
  • Impact: Out of a hypothetical ₦100 billion VAT pool, a state like Lagos would receive ₦55 billion, which could then be invested in critical infrastructure like schools and roads.
