The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has opposed the request by two oil companies Suntrust Oil and Midwestern Oil and Gas to be granted a 5 year tax relief.

What led to the court case ?

The FIRS and the NIPC had written to the two companies informing them of the reduction of the tax holiday from 5 years to 3 years. Both companies subsequently took the agencies to court.

Midwestern Oil & Gas Company Limited was incorporated in 1999 and commenced operations in 2001. The Company is owned by a group of Nigerian Investors and Delta State Government. In 2003, the Company was awarded 70% interest in Umusadege Field located in OML 56 which is situated at the northern area of Delta State, Nigeria. Midwestern is the operator of the field while SunTrust Oil Company Ltd its JV Partner holds 30% interest which is jointly held by Mart Umusadege Resources Nigeria Ltd.

The department’s scope of administration covered Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone and the Gambia. In 1943, the Nigerian Inland Revenue Department was carved out of the Inland Revenue Department of Anglophone West Africa and established as an autonomous body under the supervision of the Commissioner of Income Tax.
