The Federal Government of Nigeria has increased the excise duty rate on lager and stout by 87.50%, from N40 per litre in 2022 to N75 per litre in 2023.<\/p>\n
The government also imposed a 20 per cent ad valorem tax on the products.<\/p>\n
Ad valorem rates are based on the estimated value of the taxable products, as opposed to a fixed rate.<\/p>\n
An annual ad valorem tax has the fundamental characteristic of being proportional to the asset’s value.<\/p>\n
The federal government’s new fiscal policy measures (FPM) outline the rates of excise duties for the current year and include tax adjustments.<\/p>\n
The production, licencing, and sale of products are subject to excise tax.<\/p>\n
President Muhammadu Buhari approved new FPMs including supplementary protection measures (SPM), revised excise duty rates, and green taxes.<\/p>\n
The 2023 FPMs will supersede the 2022 FPMs, according to a recent circular signed by Zainab Ahmed, minister of Finance, budget, and national planning.<\/p>\n
The revised excise duty rates impose extra taxes on intoxicating beverages, cigarettes, and tobacco products.<\/p>\n
According to the circular, the government also imposed an ad valorem rate of 30 per cent on intoxicating wines in 2023, up from 20 per cent in 2022; and a specific excise duty rate of N75 per litre, up from N50 per litre in 2022 by 50 per cent.<\/p>\n
The ad valorem rate on spirits (whisky, cognac, vodka, and rums) increased to 30 per cent in 2023 from 20 per cent in 2022.<\/p>\n
The actual excise duty rate on spirits increased by 200 per cent, from N50 per litre in 2022 to N150 per litre in 2023.<\/p>\n
In the course of the year, a tariff of N300 per litre will be imposed on intoxicating beverages (beer, wines, and spirits).<\/p>\n
This represents an increase of 114.29 per cent from N140 per litre in 2022.<\/p>\n
According to the government, the new rates will go into effect on June 1, 2023, and be increased on June 1, 2024, concurrently with the current implementation period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
