Supermart.ng Partners Ijewere & co. on Tax Seminar

Supermart.ng, Nigeria’s largest online grocery retailer is set to partner with Ijewere & Co., Nigeria’s largest indigenous consulting firm on a two-day tax seminar.

The seminar for finance professionals is titled ‘Company Income Tax Planning, Compliance, Management and Evolving Changes in Tax Environment’.

Holding at the Ijewere & Co. Tax Training Centre at 106/110, Lewis Street, Obalende on 26 and 27 July, 2016, the two-day seminar will see all in attendance rewarded with a special gift from Supermart.

It has been organised specially for individuals involved in Tax, Finance, Accounting, Audit, Compliance, Investment and Administration to update their knowledge of Nigeria’s challenging tax environment and get responses to their queries.

Speaking about the upcoming seminar, Raphael Afaedor, co-founder Supermart Nigeria, said, “In Nigeria’s growing eCommerce space, the Tech side of things and the new solutions created are generally a lot more interesting to focus on. As the space Supermart operates in grows and matures however, I think it is important to create partnerships with companies like Ijewere & Co. so that together we can shape how we think about tax in eCommerce.  I also think it is important that as the Nigerian eCommerce space enters the next phase of growth, we keep ourselves informed about what our positions and obligations are regarding taxation.”

Areas to be covered during the seminar include filing of tax returns, allowable and disallowable expenses, planning and management of companies income tax, tax computation of IFRS based audited financial statement, offences and penalties under the Companies Income Tax Act and general overview of companies income tax and tax environment in Nigeria.

Commenting on the upcoming seminar and the partnership with Supermart, Training Partner, Ijewere & Co, Bankole Lawani said,

“This seminar is particularly important at this time because of the noticeable increase in tax regulation enforcement by government nowadays. Apart from giving industry professionals the opportunity to learn important information relevant to the legal and compliance aspect of their work, it also gives them a platform to ask questions and get answers that are not always readily available. We are also excited to partner with Supermart, which is one of a new generation of startup businesses that will be the future of Nigeria’s economy. The information from the seminar will no doubt be very useful to them and to the rapidly growing e-commerce industry which is already becoming a sizeable source of tax revenue for the government.”

Stocking over 70,000 products on the website, Supermart.ng is the largest online grocery retailer in Nigeria.

Prior to founding Supermart.ng, Raphael Afaedor and Gbolahan Fagbure previously co-founded and led Jumia in the capacities of Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer respectively.
