Tax Services

We simply tax process...

In Nigeria today, mainly as a result of dwindling oil revenues and limited borrowing opportunities, taxation has assumed an unprecedented level of importance for governments at all tiers. This unarguably necessitates an equal or even greater level of seriousness by businesses, organisations and individuals alike to tax matters, to effectively manage and mitigate the impact of governments’ tax policies on them.

At Hegbo – J, we assist businesses, organisations and individuals with quality advice on tax strategy, planning and compliance to enable them to derive maximum tax savings/cash flow benefits which will ultimately impact on their cost of doing business.

We equally assist governments and their agencies in widening their tax nets to have enough resources with which to fulfil their promises to the electorate. Indeed, our knowledge of Nigerian tax laws and practices have enabled us to satisfactorily protect the interest of our diverse clients and resolve disputes with tax authorities all over the country. We can support you to excel in tax matters of all kinds in Nigeria.
