Taxation is both a tool of development and a source of tension between governments and citizens. At Sambo Muritala & Co (Activist Chamber), we offer comprehensive tax advisory and compliance services that ensure compliance while protecting our clients from unfair tax practices.
Our expertise covers corporate tax, value-added tax (VAT), personal income tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, and cross-border taxation. We assist businesses in structuring transactions to achieve tax efficiency, advise on transfer pricing, and represent clients in audits, investigations, and disputes with tax authorities.

We have defended individuals and corporations against arbitrary tax assessments, unlawful revenue collection practices, and double taxation by overlapping authorities. Our past involvement includes filing suits to challenge unlawful levies by local government councils, representing SMEs before the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), and negotiating tax settlements that saved clients from excessive liabilities.
Our approach blends proactive advisory—helping clients to structure businesses to minimize disputes—with strong litigation capacity to contest tax controversies when they arise. We are equally committed to social justice: ensuring government taxation is lawful, transparent, and not exploitative of ordinary citizens.

We also engage in public advocacy by educating citizens on their tax rights and obligations. This has included organizing community outreach programs to enlighten traders and small business owners about tax compliance and filing procedures.
Our guiding principle is fairness: government must collect lawful taxes, but citizens and businesses must not be subjected to unlawful or excessive burdens. We bring activism into taxation by challenging exploitative revenue practices while still helping clients comply with legitimate obligations.
