Back in 2015, our firm, Vi-M Professional Solutions, was engaged by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to help Nigerian taxpayers understand tax through weekly tax technical publications in the Guardian Newspapers themed ‘Tax Discourse’.
Tax Discourse (with the FIRS) was a platform designed to enable Nigerian taxpayers and the FIRS share knowledge and pain points about tax and better understand each other. It ended in 2016.
On this first day of the brand new month of February 2021 however, we are very happy to let you know about our brand new initiative:
‘Tax Discourse’, with Vi-M Professional Solutions (solely run by Vi-M, this time).
Tax discourse is a platform through which we, at Vi-M Professional Solutions, can make personalised and professional tax advisory accessible and very affordable to every Nigerian taxpayer.
An initiative, which we hope will enable us support the everyday Nigerian taxpayer with strategic insights and knowledge (on an one-going basis) on how to better navigate any tax challenge.
‘Tax Discourse’, with Vi-M Professional Solutions is offered in 2 ways:
First is ‘Tax Discourse Webinars’:
- A four to six hours tax advisory webinar session (to be held periodically)
- Where participants with tax issues, concerns or enquiries can unburden themselves (anonymously) and get personalised advice/guidance from our expert tax advisors
- Participants will also build tax knowledge from solutions proffered to others
- Followed by free 10-minute, one-on-one clinic sessions per participant requiring further clarifications
- Debut session will hold on Wednesday, 17 February 2021, from 8.00am to 12.00noon.
- All at an affordable fee of N5,000 per participant, per session
And the second is ‘Tax Discourse (On-Demand)’:
- Which is on-going private tax advisory chat sessions, to be held on-demand, for every taxpayer in Nigeria in need of tax advice or guidance
- At a fee of N750 per minute only, allowing taxpayers the flexibility of effectively managing tax advisory costs
- Designed for taxpayers in Nigeria who require tax advisory or guidance on-the-go; or those who would prefer private sessions to the webinar sessions
- Taxpayers can book for tax discourse (on-demand) any day (though we recommend keeping Sundays holy!), and any time of the day between 8.00am to 6.00pm
- Chat sessions are to hold through voice or video phone calls – taxpayer to choose
