CIT and Tax Credits

Introduction: In the world of corporate taxation, companies are often focused on reducing their tax liability through various strategies. One powerful tool in the Nigerian tax system is the use of tax credits. Tax credits are a form of incentive offered to businesses to encourage specific activities or behaviors. They provide a direct reduction in the amount of tax a company owes, making them a valuable asset in tax planning. In this article, we will explore the concept of tax credits and how businesses can make the most of these incentives. Understanding Tax Credits: Tax credits are incentives provided by the government to encourage certain behaviors or activities deemed beneficial to the economy, society, or specific industries. Unlike tax deductions, which reduce taxable income, tax credits directly reduce the amount of tax a company owes. Therefore, they have a more substantial impact on lowering a company’s tax liability.
