The appeal barred Lagos from joining Rivers in VAT war in court

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has reserved ruling on an application by Lagos State to be made a respondent in the appeal filed by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
The appeal by the FIRS is against August 9, 2021 judgment by Justice Steven Pam of the Federal High Court in Port-Harcourt, voiding the Value Added Tax (VAT) Act and holding the states could collect VAT.

The appeal barred Lagos from joining Rivers in VAT war in court 

A three-man panel, led by Justice Haruna Simon Tsanami, after listening to arguments by lawyers to parties on Thursday, said they would be informed when the ruling was ready.
