What are the “Force of Attraction” rules for non-resident companies?

This rule ensures that non-resident companies are taxed on sales made into Nigeria by their related parties.

  • Scenario: A UK firm has a Nigerian branch. Its affiliate, based in Dubai, sells goods directly to Nigerian customers. Under the new rules, the profit from those sales will be “attracted” to the Nigerian branch and taxed in Nigeria as if the branch had made the sale itself.
