Understanding VAT Allocation

📜 Old System

VAT was distributed based on:

  • Federal Government: 15%
  • State Governments: 50%
  • Local Governments: 35%
Distribution based on equality and population, not economic activity

New System

VAT now distributed based on:

  • Derivation Principle
  • States get more: ~55%
  • LGs get less: ~30%
States with more commerce get more VAT revenue

⚠️ Important Note

The figures shown are estimates based on proposed allocation formulas. Actual amounts will vary based on your state's economic activity, consumption patterns, and final implementation details. Check with your state revenue service for official figures.
