Taxation

We successfully obtained a 95% reduction in the tax assessment of a major multinational corporation

Our tax advisory and compliance services are tailored to address the specific needs of our clients in diverse tax related issues, including  areas of Corporate Income Tax, Petroleum Profit Tax, Personal Income Tax, Value Added Tax, Customs and Excise, withholding tax and stamp duties. We also guide businesses on tax breaks, incentives and tax holidays. Our tax advisory team includes a qualified chartered accountant.

We have on several occasions advised on the effect that these laws have on international commercial transactions and foreign investors doing business in Nigeria. Owing to our well established reputation, we are one of the contributors to the International Comparative Legal Guide to Corporate Tax- a journal which provides practical insight to cross-border tax transactions.

We regularly represent our clients before federal and state government tax authorities and where issues cannot be resolved through negotiations, we have successfully represented our clients before tax appeal tribunals and the courts.

In one of the landmark tax decisions by an appellate court in Nigeria, we successfully persuaded the court to declare a VAT tribunal set up by the Federal Government as illegal and unconstitutional. We also represented a state government in Nigeria in a major tax and constitutional dispute between all the state governments and the Federal Government before the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the Federal Government receiving VAT.

We advise and assist our clients on the computation of the tax liability, payroll services and the preparation and filing of tax returns in Nigeria.
