Tax in Nigeria.
Whenever a company is looking to expand overseas, the tax regime of that country is almost as important as anything else.
The tax system in Nigeria, is no more or less complicated than the tax regime in another country, and is subject to change. The services of an accountant in Nigeria are obviously necessary if you are expanding your business to Nigeria.
Headline taxes in Nigeria
As at March 2013 the headline taxes in Nigeria stand at:
Income and Education Tax:
30% total profit (income tax)
2% assessable profit (education tax)
The above is payable by all businesses in Nigeria with the exception of the oil and gas sector.
Capital gains tax – 10%
VAT - 5%
Import taxes range between 5 - 75% dependent.
