Value Added Tax revenue of N335.656 billion and exchange rate difference revenue of N364.869 billion have pushed distributable revenue for the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) for November 2023 to a record N1.783 trillion.

FAAC has shared the N1.783 trillion from November 2023 revenue to the federal, state and local governments.

This was higher than the N660.090 billion received in October 2023 by N222.470 billion.

The gross revenue available from the VAT in November 2023 was N360.455 billion.

This was higher than the N347.343 billion available in October 2023 by N13.112 billion.

From the N1088.783 billion total distributable revenue, the federal government received a total of N402.867 billion, the state governments received N351.697 billion, while the local governments received N258.810 billion.
