According to the Company Income Tax report by the statistics agency, revenue to the federal government rose to N2.57 trillion in nine months from N1.79 trillion in the same period last year.

On a quarterly basis, Nigeria’s earnings from foreign companies’ CIT increased by 42.49 per cent from N598.1 billion in Q1 to N1.12 trillion in Q2 but slowed to N852.3 billion in Q3, suggesting a tough economic condition.

According to the Federal Inland Revenue Service, CIT is a 30 per cent tax imposed on companies’ profit, and VAT is a 7.5 per cent consumption tax paid when goods are purchased, and services are rendered.
Foreign companies like Google, Netflix, Meta, Facebook, and other service providers, which are video streaming sites, social media platforms, and companies that offer downloads of digital content, are expected to pay digital tax to the Federal Inland Revenue Service.

However, these companies in Africa’s biggest economy had their bottom lines hit by the devaluation of the naira currency with some recording losses and some had a significant increase in nine months of 2024.

Companies like Netflix have lamented reduced patronage, reflecting the economic situation of the country where inflation is hammering the spending power of the citizens and making them prioritise their spendings.

However, further analysis of the NBS report showed that revenue from government tax on value-added tax rose by 157.03 per cent to N1.28 trillion in nine months of 2024 from N498.3 billion in the same period last year.

VAT collection data revealed that Nigeria earned N435.7 billion in Q1, N395.7 billion in Q2, and N448.9 billion in Q1 2024.

In nine months, both taxes from foreign companies operating in Nigeria reflected a 68.1 per cent surge to N3.85 trillion compared to N2.29 trillion paid in nine months of 2023.
