This study examined the effect of IFRS adoption on manufacturing companies’ tax payable from 2012 to 2018. Data gathered from the annual reports of fifty selected Nigerian listed companies were scrutinised employing PPMC and panel data methodology to quantify the effect of IFRS adoption on tax payable. It revealed that Profit before tax (PBT) caused a positive and significant effect on TAXATION, whereas Depreciation (DEPR), Shareholders’ Funds (SHDFUD), Long-term debt (LGTDEBT), and Noncurrent Asset (NONCURASET) impacted on TAXATION negatively. This showed that an surge in DEPR, SHDFUD, LGTDEBT and NONCURASET diminished TAXATION in manufacturing companies. Conclusively, IFRS adoption significantly downplayed manufacturing companies’ tax payable because organisations circumspectly and lawfully circumvent or reduce the tax payable through depreciation claimed on existing assets, the procurement of new noncurrent assets, and long term debt (leverage). It is advocated that there should be monitoring mechanism devices put in motion by the government to monitor procurement by companies, impairment of assets and debts acquired transparently, in order to deter the unnecessary and artificial reduction in tax payable.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań nad wpływem zastosowania przez nigeryjskie przedsiębiorstwa produkcyjne MSSF na ich wysokość opodatkowania w latach 2012-2018. Podstawą analizy były dane z raportów rocznych 50 wybranych nigeryjskich spółek giełdowych. Dane przeanalizowano z zastosowaniem metodologii PPMC i analizy danych panelowych. Badania pokazały, że zysk przed opodatkowaniem miał pozytywny i znaczny wpływ na wysokość zobowiązania podatkowego, a amortyzacja, kapitał własny, zobowiązania długoterminowe i aktywa trwałe – negatywny. Zatem wzrost amortyzacji, kapitałów własnych, zobowiązań długoterminowych i aktywów trwałych zmniejszył wysokość podatku w analizowanych firmach produkcyjnych. Przyjęcie MSSF znacznie obniżyło zobowiązania podatkowe przedsiębiorstw produkcyjnych, gdyż podmioty te ostrożnie i zgodnie z prawem obchodziły lub zmniejszały podatek, wykorzystując odpisy amortyzacyjne oraz zobowiązania długoterminowe (stosując dźwignię finansową). Autorzy zalecają wprowadzenie przez rząd mechanizmów monitorujących, aby kontrolować zamówienia firm, utratę wartości aktywów i nabytych długów w sposób przejrzysty w celu powstrzymania sztucznego obniżania zobowiązań podatkowych.
