Stay current on every statutory tax obligation.
TIN registration, Tax Clearance Certificates, VAT, PAYE, annual returns and audit support — keeping your business in good standing with FIRS and CAC.
Tax compliance, without the paperwork headache.
Every registered business in Nigeria carries recurring statutory obligations — annual returns to CAC, VAT and PAYE remittances, and Tax Clearance Certificate renewals with FIRS. Missing any of these can trigger penalties or block your ability to bid on contracts and tenders.
Libacon manages your full filing calendar, prepares and submits returns on schedule, and represents you during audits, giving you one clear point of accountability for every tax and statutory deadline.
- Newly incorporated companies needing first-time TIN registration
- Businesses that have missed annual returns and need to regularise

Answers to common questions.
What is a Tax Clearance Certificate used for?
It's frequently required for tender applications, contract bids, visa applications, and regulatory licensing as proof that a business or individual is current on tax obligations.
What happens if I've missed previous annual returns?
We can prepare and file backdated returns to bring your company back into good standing with CAC, though penalties for late filing may apply.
Do I need to file VAT returns even with no sales in a period?
Yes, VAT returns are generally required on a nil basis even where no VAT-able transactions occurred in the period.
How often is a Tax Clearance Certificate renewed?
It is typically renewed annually, and we track your renewal date so it doesn't lapse.
Can Libacon represent us during a FIRS audit?
Yes, we can prepare documentation and represent your business during FIRS audits and queries.
