MONTHLY VAT RETURNS.
The monthly VAT Returns has become a pivotal service offering to your Company by our FIRM of
Chartered Accountants, this is no doubt the most talked about tax responsibility of the Tax payer to the
Federal Government of Nigeria and every stage of the VAT cycle is the life of the Nigerian Taxation
system, hence the emphasis is placed on VAT. In recent times, the Federal Inland Revenue Service
constantly beams it's searchlight on VAT and its complexities;
• Determining what constitutes Input your companies INPUT VAT
• Determination of VATABLE ITEMS
• Determination of Portion of Turnover/Revenue that is VATABLE
• VAT Rendition on Taxpromax
• Proper Filling and Documentation of VAT Receipts and PRN Generated.
• VAT LRP (late Returns Penalties) we experienced a huge amount of LRP charged to Tax Payers
Taxpromax Account in the Last quarter of 2022. Your guess is as good as mine that the SERVICE
will continue to make more money from VAT even in 2023 because of the Complexities of VAT
ACT as stipulated in the extant laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
We would like you to consider outsourcing this Service to us at a fee of N10, 000 monthly which should
be paid in advance bi-annually or annually depending on your Preference. This is the decision reached by
the management of the firm.
To this end we have resolved to either file strictly for clients who have outsourced this service to us
or train the Accountants of such companies to take up the VAT burden at our supervision. Rest
assured we would respect your choice of the options available and support you as much as we can. Once
again we say a Happy New Year to you from all of us at Innocent Onwugbonu & Co Chartered
Accountants.
Kindly confirm, your agreement to the terms of this letter which shall remain effective for the fiscal year
under review, until otherwise advised by either parties. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any
clarification on the content of the letter.
Yours faithfully,
Samson Olubode
Audit & Tax Partner
