Explaining the situation of the 3 other companies, the commission stated that their applications were rejected because their expansion projects were not eligible under the Industrial Development Income Tax Relief Act.

According to the report of the second quarter Pioneer Status Incentive obtained from the NIPC, while 15 companies had their applications rejected, approval in principle was given to 10 firms. The report also has it that that 2 firms had their applications extended while 181 other applications were still pending.

More so, the number of firms presently benefiting from the tax incentive scheme was put at 32 while 104 companies had abandoned their applications with the NIPC.

Overview: The Pioneer Status Incentive is a tax holiday that grants qualifying companies the relief from the payment of corporate income tax for an initial period of 3 years, renewable for 1 or 2 additional years.
