We are experts in a lot of legal areas
Taxation
With tax revenues only contributing about 5.1% to Nigeria’s GDP in 2017, which is significantly lower than the optimal ratio of 12.75%, the focus of the federal government, state governments and local municipalities on alternatives to oil revenues has led to considerable efforts to increase tax revenue levels significantly. This, coupled with the multiplicity of tax regimes applicable in Nigeria, presents significant challenges for companies and businesses that carry on business in Nigeria and even international companies that could potentially fall into Nigeria’s tax bracket.
We work with our clients to ensure that they effectively manage and resolve the various tax challenges that they face. We offer comprehensive tax advice, tailored to our clients’ specific needs, and provide all-inclusive tax planning to avoid potential tax issues or liabilities and minimise the tax burden.
