TAX – Nov 2021 – L2 – Q7 – Tax Administration

Explanation of five different aspects of tax administration that TAXPRO MAX can handle.

Tago Nigeria Limited was incorporated in 2009 as a trading company. It supplies
office furniture, equipment and other office materials to end users.

Due to the favourable business climate in recent years, the company achieved a
gross turnover of N120,000,000 in 2020. The directors were impressed by the profits
posted by the company, hence the decision to computerise the accounting system of
the company.
You were appointed the tax consultant to the company in 2018. You are aware that
in 2006, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) deployed the first tax portal
(Webportal) to automate and streamline taxpayer‟s registration and other tax
administration system (ITAS) known as SIGTAS. This was implemented though its
deployment was stalled.

Following the enactment of the Finance Act, 2020, the Federal Inland Revenue
Service is empowered to automate filing of tax returns and payment processes.
You attended a seminar organised by the Federal Inland Revenue Service in June
2021, to inform tax consultants of the adoption of a locally developed tax
management solution known as TAXPRO MAX. The FIRS insisted that manual filings
of tax returns would no longer be allowed.
At a meeting held with the Managing Director of Tago Nigeria Limited, you intimated
him of the tax development. He was worried that there could be a delay in filing of
tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2020, more so when taxpayers are yet to
be fully aware of this new development.
