Tax is too expensive to improvise.
Structuring, compliance and controversy across CIT, VAT, WHT, PAYE, transfer pricing and sector levies — for Nigerian enterprises, multinational subsidiaries and family offices.
Six sub-practices.
One senior tax consultant.
Every Outliers tax engagement is leadership-led. You get one named senior consultant, one accountable team and one tax model that travels across CIT, VAT, TP and controversy.

Diagnose. Design.
Document. Defend.
Diagnose
We map your full tax footprint across federal, state and sector taxes — including exposures buried in subsidiaries and JV partners.
Design
We model the highest-yield, lowest-risk restructure using NRS rulings, court precedents and your sector economics.
Document
We produce audit-grade workpapers, TP documentation and board memos that withstand NRS, FRCN and external auditor review.
Defend
When the audit comes — and it will — our controversy team represents you through objection, TAT and settlement.
If NRS or LIRS knows your name, you should know ours.
