Nigerian Lawyer Challenges VAT on Restaurant Food

  • A lawsuit has been filed in Nigeria to challenge the application of VAT on food sold in restaurants and hotels.
  • The lawsuit argues that the VAT provision contradicts the VAT Act, which exempts basic food items from taxation.
  • The lawsuit seeks to nullify the portion of the VAT Modification Order that imposes VAT on food sold in hospitality venues.
  • The lawsuit names the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Attorney General of the Federation as defendants.
