Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
  • Nigerians helped the telecommunications industry to generate the highest Company Income Tax (CIT) in Q3, 2020.
  • FIRS recorded more tax from business owners in the country in July, August and September.

As shown in the NBS GDP report for Q3 2020, the growth rate in the telecommunication industry has been unstable since 2019.

Telecommunication industry reached its climax in the second quarter of 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic that changed the cause of carrying out many activities from physical to virtual.

The GDP growth rate decreased by 17.36% in the third quarter, showing that stability is gradually occuring in the economy as business owners resume physical transactions after the lockdown was (partially) eased across the nation.

Despite this reduction in the growth rate, the Company Income Tax by Sectors for 2015-Q3 2020 shows that the telecoms sector still yielded the highest Income tax of N55.2bn, a 13.3% rate of the total CIT recorded in Q3, 2020.
