Appeal Court halts Rivers, Lagos from collecting VAT

The court ordered that the judgment of the state high court from which the state drew authorities to collect the tax be implemented.

Justice Haruna Simon Tsanami who issued the order in Abuja on Friday also directed that the law passed by Rivers State House of Assembly and assented to by Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike must not be implemented. The appellate court held that since parties have submitted themselves to the authorities of the court for adjudication of the matter, they must not do anything that will destroy the subject matter of the appeal.

In specific terms, Justice Tsanami granted status quo ante in favour of the Federal Inland Revenue Services FIRS and against the respondents.FIRS, in an appeal marked CA/PH/282/2021, is praying the court to set aside the judgment of a Rivers State High Court which granted powers to the state to collect Value Added Tax, VAT.

The tax collection agency is also asking the appellate court to stay the execution of Rivers’ judgment.

E go be✌️.

I think every Nigeria will start to believe what Onyedu MaziNnamdiKanu has been saying. Nigeria is Unworkable bcoz one side is carrying the load. Monkey 🐒 dey work Chimanzee dey eat.

As expected. Tanko Mohammed in action

Leeching compatriots. They will never let go, but this time, the wind has blown and we have seen the deceit in them. Rivers,Lagos etc must claim what is legally and naturally theirs.

It will help to end terrorism in Nigeria because each state will like to protect his or her investors,with maximum security to protect life and properties they will not allow Bandits and other terrorists group to destroy his state investors and others.

It's supreme court then. No going back.

END NIGERIA NOW !!!! We can NEVER progress or do well under british-Nigeria!This evil was NEVER created for our good,Understand this now and start fighting for your future! We are under siege believe it or not and britain is behind this completely.Don't ignore this message.
