Free Compliance Reminders for Nigerian Businesses
Never miss a CAC annual return, VAT, PAYE, withholding tax or company income tax deadline again. Get free email reminders before every deadline that applies to your business, or SMS reminders with Plus.
Set Up Your Reminders
Deadlines Are Easy to Forget. Penalties Are Not.
Nigerian businesses juggle many filing dates: CAC annual returns, monthly VAT and withholding tax, PAYE for staff, the yearly company income tax return and permit renewals. Missing them can bring penalties, interest, blocked tax clearance certificates and, for companies that stay inactive for years, removal from the CAC register.
Tell us your business type, registration date and which taxes apply to you. We work out your deadlines and remind you 14 days and 3 days before each one, with a link to get help if you want us to file for you.
- CAC annual returns for companies, business names and incorporated trustees
- VAT and withholding tax by the 21st, PAYE by the 10th of the following month
- Employer annual PAYE return by 31 January
- Company income tax return 6 months after your financial year end
- Your own custom reminders for permits, licences and renewals
