The N1.411 trillion total distributable revenue comprised distributable statutory revenue of N206.319 billion, distributable Value Added Tax (VAT) revenue of N622.312 billion, Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) revenue of N17.111 billion, and exchange difference revenue of N566.000 billion.
The Federal Government received a total sum of N433.021 billion, the state governments received a total sum of N490.696 billion, while the local government councils received a total sum of N355.621 billion.
Meanwhile, a total sum of N132.404 billion (13 per cent of mineral revenue) was shared with the benefiting states as derivation revenue.
“In October 2024, oil and gas royalty, excise duty, value-added tax (VAT), import duty, petroleum profit tax (PPT), and companies income tax (CIT) increased significantly while electronic money transfer levy (EMTL) and CET levies decreased considerably,” the statement added.
