Startup Compliance Calendar

The Startup Compliance Calendar is a practical planning tool designed to help founders and growing businesses stay ahead of their recurring regulatory obligations. It brings together the key monthly and annual compliance deadlines that Nigerian startups commonly encounter, helping businesses build compliance into their operations rather than reacting to missed filing dates.

Covering obligations such as PAYE, VAT, Withholding Tax (WHT), NSITF, CAC Annual Returns, Company Income Tax (CIT), NDPC Annual Compliance Audit Returns, ITF contributions, and other regulatory filing requirements, the calendar provides a simple reference point for managing compliance throughout the year. It also reflects the position under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 while noting that certain deadlines and sector-specific renewals may vary over time.

Whether you're building your company's first compliance function or refining an existing one, this resource provides an accessible framework for tracking statutory deadlines, reducing regulatory risk, and ensuring that important filing obligations are not overlooked.
