πŸ‡ΎπŸ‡ͺ Yemen β€” Yemen Tax System

Yemen's tax system has fragmented amid civil war (since 2015) between the Houthi movement (controlling Sanaa and the north) and the internationally recognised government (IRG, based in Aden). Each side collects taxes in their territory. Income tax nominally up to 15%. The conflict has caused one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Oil and gas revenues (historically 70% of state income) have mostly stopped due to pipeline attacks and production collapse.

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.
