State, Regional & Local Taxes

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¬ Egypt β€” Local Administration & Governorate Taxes

Egypt's 27 governorates do not levy separate income taxes β€” this is set at the national level. However, local authorities collect fees and levies for commercial activities, signage, and property. The Real Estate Tax is nationally administered with locally assessed values. Stamp duties apply to various commercial transactions. The government has been expanding the tax base and improving compliance through mandatory e-invoicing (since 2020 for large taxpayers, progressively expanded).

πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ Nigeria β€” State & Local Government Taxes

Nigeria's 36 states and FCT each have their own Personal Income Tax Law (PITL), though rates follow a national schedule. States levy property rates, land use charges, and business premises levies. The 774 local government areas (LGAs) levy tenement rates and market fees. Only federal employees and residents in the FCT pay federal income tax to FIRS; all others pay to state tax authorities. VAT revenue is shared: 15% FIRS, 50% states, 35% LGAs.
