Summary
In January 2020, Nigeria amended its corporate tax rules to introduce the significant economic presence (SEP) as an additional basis for taxing digital non-resident companies (NRCs) with Nigerian sourced income. This amendment follows attempts at reforming international tax rules by the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), and G20 / Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The G20/OECD's Action 1 of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Project and the Inclusive Framework for BEPS seek to provide policy suggestions for aligning the place of taxation with that of value creation. This article examines the scope of the SEP and its suitability, workability, and sustainability for taxing digital NRCs in Nigeria, review judicial decisions on taxation of digital NRCs, and analyse the enforcement challenges of the SEP in the context of Nigeria's digital and wider economy
