Taxation

Jireh & Greys Attorneys is one of Nigeria’s most respected tax practices, advising multinational corporations, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, private equity funds, startups, and large local groups on the full spectrum of Nigerian and international tax issues.
Our Taxation team works seamlessly with your finance, legal, and strategy functions to deliver clear, commercial, and tax-efficient solutions in an increasingly aggressive enforcement environment driven by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), state revenue authorities, and international transparency initiatives.
We regularly advise on:
Corporate income tax, petroleum profits tax (PPT), tertiary education tax, NITDA levy, and police trust fund levy planning and compliance
Value Added Tax (VAT), withholding tax optimisation, and Customs & Excise duties on imports and exports
Transfer pricing documentation, advance pricing agreements (APAs), country-by-country reporting (CbCR), and defence against FIRS audits
Tax issues in mergers, acquisitions, reorganisations, group restructurings, and private equity/venture capital transactions
Real estate taxation – capital gains tax (CGT), stamp duties, Governor’s Consent fees, and land use charge structuring
Employee taxation, executive remuneration packages, share incentive plans, and expatriate tax equalisation
Personal income tax (PAYE), high-net-worth succession planning, trusts, and family offices
Tax controversy and dispute resolution – objections, appeals to the Tax Appeal Tribunal, Federal High Court litigation, and negotiated settlements with FIRS and state authorities
International tax – double taxation treaties, permanent establishment risk, BEPS compliance, and Common Reporting Standard (CRS) / FATCA advice
Sector-specific regimes: pioneer status incentives, free trade zone benefits, oil & gas fiscal terms, and tax issues in fintech, digital assets, and infrastructure projects
When the FIRS or state revenue authorities issue assessments, back-duty claims, or commence audits, Jireh & Greys Attorneys steps in immediately to manage the process, secure stays of enforcement, and achieve the best possible outcome – often reducing liabilities by 50–90 % through robust technical arguments and negotiation.
With former senior FIRS officials and Big-4-trained tax controversy specialists in our team, we speak the tax authority’s language while fighting uncompromisingly for our clients.
