I have been bothered by my experience with the flood of tax demands confronting business owners in Nigeria, particularly incorporated companies. I understand that the tax of companies incorporated by the CAC belongs to the FIRS (federal government), while the State claims the personal income tax an the Local government the tenement rates and operational license for non-CAC incorporated ventures and business premises. But this is against my experience running a company over the past three years.

Can anyone please shed light on this grey area. Should the local government ask incorporated companies for operational license/taxes?
Thank you.
