Hello there
Welcome to another Tax Thursday.
You would agree with us that 2021 was an interesting year, and indeed a busy one. Just as the country was tackling its battles, the FIRS was also swamped with a few legal battles. Worthy of mention was the bid of some states majorly championed by Rivers State and Lagos State to get control over the collection and appropriation of VAT within their jurisdiction, and we all witnessed how this turned out.
