Background of the Study
The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria is a significant step toward enhancing the quality and transparency of financial reporting. However, the transition to IFRS can have profound implications on taxation, particularly in countries like Nigeria where tax laws and accounting standards may not fully align. This study explores the impact of IFRS compliance on taxation for Nigerian SMEs and examines the challenges they face in reconciling IFRS with the Nigerian tax system.
Statement of the Problem
While IFRS compliance offers many benefits in terms of transparency and financial reporting quality, Nigerian SMEs may face challenges in terms of taxation, especially due to the differences between IFRS and tax accounting principles. This misalignment could lead to increased complexity in tax reporting and tax liabilities, and may potentially create opportunities for tax avoidance. Therefore, understanding the relationship between IFRS compliance and tax implications is critical for Nigerian SMEs.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
Aim:
To examine the implications of IFRS compliance on taxation for Nigerian SMEs.
Objectives:
To analyze the challenges faced by Nigerian SMEs in reconciling IFRS compliance with the tax system.
To assess the impact of IFRS adoption on the tax liabilities of SMEs in Nigeria.
To explore the role of IFRS compliance in enhancing transparency and accountability in tax reporting for Nigerian SMEs.
Research Questions
What challenges do Nigerian SMEs face when aligning IFRS compliance with the taxation system?
How does IFRS adoption affect tax liabilities for SMEs in Nigeria?
What role does IFRS compliance play in enhancing tax reporting transparency for Nigerian SMEs?
Research Hypotheses
IFRS compliance leads to higher tax liabilities for Nigerian SMEs due to differences in accounting principles.
Nigerian SMEs face significant challenges in reconciling IFRS financial statements with Nigerian tax laws.
IFRS compliance improves transparency in tax reporting for Nigerian SMEs.
Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the challenges Nigerian SMEs face when adopting IFRS and the tax implications of such adoption. Understanding these challenges can help policymakers, tax authorities, and SMEs themselves navigate the complexities of tax compliance in the context of international accounting standards.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study will focus on Nigerian SMEs that are required to adopt IFRS. Limitations include potential difficulties in obtaining financial data from SMEs and the complexity of comparing tax outcomes due to varying business operations.
