All the members of the Board of Trustees\/Directors must have updated tax clearance each year. All the board members should have up to date tax clearance from Federal Inland Revenue Service(FIRS). This is a new requirement which came about in 2016 and it is required that all board members who are trustees\/directors have their personal tax clearance certificate. We know in Nigeria that a lot of people do notpay tax regularly and as a result they do not have tax clearance. This is important particularly when one is filing for an organizational tax clearance.<\/p>\n

FIRS will require that the trustees that are recognized by law should all have their tax clearance. OceanofPDF.com x. Step 3 How to Identify and Apply for Different Registrations Identifying and applying for the right type of registration is a major challenge for NGOs. The type of operation, programs, financial structure,scope andmanagement style can determine the type of registration to apply for.<\/p>\n
