FIRS Tax Incentive Application – Industrial Development Income Tax Relief

FIRS Tax Incentive Application for Industrial Development

Applying for tax incentives under Nigeria's Industrial Development (Income Tax Relief) Act can be complex, involving detailed documentation of qualifying expenditures, capital investments, and regulatory compliance. This FIRS Tax Incentive Application Form streamlines the entire process, helping Nigerian businesses submit comprehensive applications to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) with all required information in one organised platform.

Built for Nigerian businesses navigating FIRS requirements

Whether you're a manufacturing company, an industrial enterprise, or a business investing in qualifying infrastructure projects, this template captures everything FIRS needs to assess your eligibility: company registration details (CAC number and TIN), business activity classification, qualifying expenditure breakdowns, employment data, and supporting documentation—all in one professional submission.

The form includes conditional logic to adapt questions based on your business type and expenditure categories, ensuring you only provide relevant information. Fields are pre-structured to match FIRS reporting standards, reducing back-and-forth revisions and accelerating approval timelines.

Paperform makes compliance efficient

With Paperform's document-style editor, you can customise this template to match your company's branding while maintaining FIRS-compliant structure. File upload fields let applicants attach required supporting documents like audited financial statements, equipment invoices, CAC certificates, and project plans directly within the form.

Use conditional logic to show or hide sections based on expenditure types—capital allowances, pioneer status applications, or rural investment incentives—keeping the form focused and reducing completion time. Calculation fields automatically compute total qualifying expenditures, tax relief amounts, and projected savings, giving both applicants and reviewers instant visibility into the numbers.
