Background of the Study
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have a significant impact on corporate tax planning strategies, as they influence how companies prepare and report their financial statements. In Nigeria, the adoption of IFRS by large corporations and SMEs can reshape tax planning decisions, especially given the complexities involved in reconciling local tax laws with international accounting standards. This study aims to explore how IFRS adoption affects corporate tax planning practices in Nigeria.
Statement of the Problem
The transition from local Nigerian accounting standards to IFRS may create complexities for companies in terms of corporate tax planning. The misalignment between tax rules and IFRS can affect how companies manage their tax liabilities, potentially leading to changes in tax avoidance practices and tax deferrals. This study seeks to understand the extent of the impact that IFRS has on corporate tax planning in Nigeria.
