Tax planning · frequently asked questions
Can you take over our tax filings mid-year?
Yes — about 60% of new engagements start mid-year. We agree the cut-over date with the previous accountant, request the rolling schedules, and pick up filings without disruption.
How much do you charge for tax compliance?
Annual tax compliance for a Lagos SME with turnover under ₦150m typically costs ₦480,000 to ₦920,000, depending on the number of returns and the state. Every engagement has a fixed quote.
Do you defend FIRS or LIRS audits?
Yes. Our team has represented 73 clients in FIRS field audits since 2020. We attend the meetings, prepare the response files and negotiate where appropriate.
Do you handle personal income tax for directors?
We do. Personal income tax filings (Form A and the equivalent state forms) are typically bundled with the corporate engagement and add a small flat fee per director.
