Re: Tax Tribunal Orders NLNG to Pay $27.5m to FIRS as 2016 Revised Corporate Income Tax

Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has noted media reports suggesting that a Tax Appeal Tribunal ordered NLNG to pay $27.5 million to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) as a revised Company Income Tax (CIT) settlement for 2016.

NLNG clarifies that these reports misrepresent an out-of-court settlement that was reached amicably between the parties, without prejudice to their respective legal positions, which the Tribunal merely adopted as Consent Judgment in the appeal.

The payment by NLNG was thus made in furtherance of a settlement agreement reached between the parties and not because of any order made by the Tribunal.

NLNG remains a responsible corporate citizen, and consistently operates in compliance with Nigerian laws and will continue to operate in line with its vision of being “a globally competitive LNG company helping to build a better Nigeria.”

How Fortune Ran Out for Nigeria’s Goodluck Jonathan

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan makes a declaration in front of supporters at a ceremony in Abuja on November 11, 2014. Goodluck Jonathan’s rise to the top of the pile in Nigeria’s ruthless political world has been described as accidental -- a matter of good luck. But the amazing run of coincidence and chance that brought the son of a canoe-maker to the Presidential Villa in the capital, Abuja, seems to have come to an end.
