About the role
This interview covers the practical work of an entry-level tax analyst supporting Nigerian compliance and advisory engagements. Expect the panel to test how you reconcile VAT and payroll information, research the current treatment of an item and turn a technical issue into a clear client action.
How to prepare
- Revise how sales, purchases, payroll and ledger data feed into common tax schedules.
- Practise reconciling a return schedule to the trial balance and explaining each reconciling item.
- Review the difference between accounting treatment and tax treatment using simple examples.
- Use official tax authority sources to check the current rules relevant to the vacancy.
- Prepare a concise client update that separates confirmed facts, missing information and required actions.
Common mistakes
- Quoting a rate or deadline from memory without checking the current official rule.
- Assuming the sales ledger and VAT schedule should differ without tracing the reason.
- Confusing an accounting expense with an automatically allowable tax deduction.
- Sending a vague request for information that does not state the period or required fields.
