Strategic Tax Consulting & Advisory
Whether you need corporate tax planning, VAT advisory, defence during a NRS audit, or help regularizing past non-compliance — Joseph Dauda & Co. provides expert tax consulting you can trust.
Smart tax strategies save you money — and keep you out of trouble.
At Joseph Dauda & Co., we know that taxation in Nigeria can be complex, confusing, and costly if not handled properly. With multiple taxes (CIT, VAT, WHT, EDT, PPT, etc.) and frequent regulatory changes from NRS and state tax authorities, it is easy to make expensive mistakes. That is why we provide expert tax consulting and advisory services — to help you legally minimize your tax liability, avoid penalties, and focus on growing your business. Our team is licensed by both ICAN and CITN, ensuring every piece of advice is grounded in professional standards and current law.
What Our Tax Consulting & Advisory Covers
Corporate Tax Planning
We analyze your business structure, transactions, and operations to identify legitimate tax savings opportunities. From allowable deductions to incentives and reliefs, we help you keep more of what you earn.
Value Added Tax (VAT) Advisory
VAT compliance can be tricky — especially with recent changes in rates and regulations. We guide you on proper VAT collection, remittance, and filing to avoid interest and penalties.
Withholding Tax (WHT) Management
Are you deducting and remitting WHT correctly? Are you claiming credits for WHT deducted from your payments? We ensure accuracy, reduce double taxation, and keep your WHT schedule clean.
Personal Income Tax (PIT) Advisory for Directors & Staff
We advise high-net-worth individuals, company directors, and expatriates on personal income tax planning — including allowable reliefs, PAYE compliance, and year-end tax optimization.
Tax Health Check & Audit Defence
Not sure if your past tax filings are correct? We conduct a confidential review of your tax position, identify exposure, and help you regularize issues with NRS before an audit is announced. If you are already under audit, we defend your position professionally.
Tax Incentives & Exemptions Advisory
Do you qualify for pioneer status, investment allowances, or export incentives? We identify and help you claim tax breaks available under Nigerian laws — saving you significant amounts legally.
Common Tax Challenges We Solve
Fear of NRS Audits
Many businesses lose sleep over unexpected tax audits. We prepare you for audits, ensure your records are in order, and represent you before NRS — so you face audits with confidence.
Paying More Tax Than Necessary
Are you claiming all allowable deductions and reliefs? Most businesses overpay tax simply because they do not know what is available. We identify every legal saving opportunity.
Confusion Over Multiple Taxes
CIT, VAT, WHT, EDT, LGs — it is overwhelming. We simplify your tax obligations into a clear calendar and checklist. You will always know what to pay, when, and how much.
Penalties & Interest from Late or Wrong Filings
Late filings attract penalties and interest that can hurt your cash flow. We manage your filing schedule and ensure accurate, on-time submissions — so you never pay a penalty again.
Disputes with Tax Authorities
Disagree with an NRS assessment? We handle objections, appeals, and negotiations on your behalf — protecting your rights under Nigerian tax laws.
