Finance Act 2021 Series 8: National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Levy now introduced

Under the Finance Act 2021, a new Levy – NASENI levy, has also been introduced. 

This Levy can be likened to the NITD levy.

This Levy is to be assessed at the rate of 0.25% of the profits before tax of companies engaged in the business of banking, mobile telecommunication, ICT, aviation, maritime and oil and gas with turnover of N100 million and above.

This tax is also to be administered by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
