The revenue sharing formula as defined by FAAC gives the FG the larger part of the allocation which stands at 52.68%, the states receive 26.72%, and local governments get 20.60%.
The monthly income shared with the federal, state and local government areas is mostly sourced from earnings derived from oil exports, taxes (Value Added Tax – VAT), Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL), Exchange Difference revenue and other statutory allocations.
Other income sources include internally generated revenue and the 13% derivation revenue (for the benefitting states) which explains the higher allocations for the Niger Delta (oil-producing) states.
