FIRS Disclosure of Notifiable Arrangements Form

Nigeria's tax landscape has evolved significantly with the introduction of Mandatory Disclosure Rules (MDR) requiring taxpayers, promoters, and advisors to disclose certain tax arrangements to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). This FIRS Disclosure of Notifiable Arrangements Form provides a structured, compliant approach to meeting your MDR obligations under Nigerian tax law.

Why This Form Matters for Nigerian Businesses

The FIRS Mandatory Disclosure Rules are designed to enhance tax transparency and combat aggressive tax planning. If you're a tax advisor, promoter, or taxpayer involved in arrangements that meet specific hallmarks—such as confidentiality conditions, premium fees, or arrangements that exploit regulatory gaps—you're required to disclose these to FIRS within the prescribed timelines.

This Paperform template simplifies the entire disclosure process. Instead of navigating complex PDF forms or email chains, you can capture all required information in one professional, branded form that ensures nothing gets missed.

Built for Nigerian Tax Professionals and Businesses

This form template is tailored specifically for:

• Tax advisors and consultants managing MDR compliance for multiple clients
• Promoters of tax arrangements who need to report notifiable schemes
• Corporate tax departments in Nigerian companies handling complex transactions
• Legal and compliance teams ensuring regulatory adherence
• Accounting firms providing tax planning and advisory services

Whether you're based in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, or anywhere across Nigeria, this form helps you maintain compliance with FIRS requirements while keeping a clear audit trail.

Comprehensive Data Capture for Full Compliance

The form captures all essential information required under the MDR framework:

• Filer identification including TIN, CAC registration details, and contact information
• Promoter information with full particulars of all parties involved in designing or marketing the arrangement
• Detailed arrangement description covering the tax advantage, structure, and relevant tax provisions
• Hallmark identification to classify which MDR hallmarks apply to your arrangement
• Timeline and implementation details including commencement dates and involved jurisdictions
• Supporting documentation upload capabilities for contracts, legal opinions, and technical analyses

By consolidating all this information in a single submission, you reduce back-and-forth with FIRS and demonstrate proactive compliance.

Seamless Integration with Your Tax Workflow

Paperform makes it easy to fit MDR disclosures into your existing processes. Use conditional logic to show relevant fields based on filer type (taxpayer vs. promoter vs. advisor) and arrangement characteristics. Submissions automatically route to your compliance team via email or connect to tools like Google Sheets, Airtable, or your document management system.

For firms managing multiple disclosures, consider using Stepper to automate follow-up workflows—route submissions for partner review, set reminder tasks for FIRS follow-ups, and maintain organized records across all your MDR filings.
