Nigeria earned a total of 35.56 trillion naira in tax income within a period covering eight-year between 2011 and 2018, data from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has shown.
The bulk of the income was generated from two major tax revenue items, according to the data obtained by the Punch Newspaper.
They are oil tax which is generated through the Petroleum Profit Tax and non-oil tax which is generated from seven tax revenue components.
They are Company Income Tax, Gas Income, Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty, Value Added Tax, Education Tax and Nigeria Information Technology Development Fund.
An analysis of the 35.56 trillion naira tax collection showed that about 17.97 trillion naira was generated in the period under review from Petroleum Profit Tax. This represents about 50.53 percent of the entire revenue generated during the eight-year period.
