Seriake Dickson, the senator representing Bayelsa west, says heaven will not fail if the national assembly passes the controversial tax reform bills.
Seriake Dickson, the senator representing Bayelsa west, has expressed support for the tax reform bills being considered by the national assembly.
In the current VAT sharing formula, the federal government takes 15 percent, states take 50 percent, while 35 percent goes to the LGAs. The former Bayelsa governor said the national assembly was able to pass the Petroleum Industry Act despite the criticism from host communities.“The tax bill is a law like every other law and it has to go through the normal legislative process,” the senator said.“Right now, taxes from Bayelsa State are paid to Lagos State and I don’t want that to continue.
