π³π¬ 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.
π¨πΊ Cuba β Provincial & Municipal Taxes
Cuba's 15 provinces and the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud have limited independent taxing powers under the centrally planned socialist system. The ONAT (Oficina Nacional de AdministraciΓ³n Tributaria) administers national taxes, while provincial and municipal governments collect local fees for services. Cuba underwent significant economic reform since 2010 β allowing self-employment (cuentapropistas) and private business (MIPYMES from 2021). Currency unification (2021) significantly restructured the fiscal landscape. The US embargo continues to severely distort the economy.
