VAT rate
In Nigeria, Value Added Tax (VAT) is set at a standard rate of 7.5% for the provision of taxable goods and services, including imports. VAT is gathered at every level of the supply chain and submitted to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). There are specific goods and services that are exempt from VAT, and businesses are required to submit monthly returns and make the appropriate payments.
