What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Senator Olamilekan Adeola, an All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Ogun State, stated that corporate taxes generated by industrial entities in Ogun State are often remitted to Lagos State. Adeola argued that this structural tax leakage prevents Ogun State's internally generated revenue from reflecting its extensive industrial base.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Adeola noted that while manufacturing plants are located in Ogun State, the corporate headquarters and high-earning directors are often situated in Lagos. This arrangement means that the return on investment for businesses establishing themselves in Ogun State is diminished because the top-level taxes are paid to Lagos State.

The Lagos State Government has been organizing training sessions regarding the implications of new tax laws for revenue harmonization as part of broader tax reform efforts for the country.
