The federal
government has exempted 63 items from value-added tax (VAT).
According to a post on X by Taiwo Oyedele, chairman of the
presidential committee on fiscal policy and tax reforms, on Friday, the
exempted items are contained in an official gazette for the ‘Value Added Tax
(Modification) Order, 2024,’ dated September 3, 2024.
On Wednesday, Wale Edun, minister of finance and
coordinating minister of the economy, announced the introduction of concessions
aimed at revitalising the oil and gas industry to ensure a boost in Nigeria’s
upstream and downstream sectors.
Edun unveiled two major fiscal incentives.
The incentives included VAT modification order 2024 and
notice of tax incentives for deep offshore oil and gas production, in
accordance with the Oil and Gas Companies (tax incentives, exemption,
remission, etc.) Order 2024.
In the official gazette, the federal government said the
provisions of “this order, as they relate to Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) shall be
deemed to have commenced on the 1st day of October, 2023”.
