The Nigeria Property Tax Playbook

The price you agree with the seller is not the price you will pay. Stamp duty, consent fees, registration charges, land use charge, and, when you sell, capital gains tax can all land on top, and many Nigerians only find out when the bills arrive.

The Nigeria Property Tax Playbook names every tax and fee that comes with buying, owning, and selling property, then explains how each one works. You will go through stamp duty as the entry tax and capital gains tax as the exit tax, then land use charge, consent fees and registration costs, rental income tax, and VAT on property.

The book also looks at ownership structures and how they affect what you pay, takes you through the TaxPro Max property workflow, and finishes with a property tax calculator you can work through. It is a general guide, so confirm details for your own transaction with a qualified professional.
