Organization
The CITN was formed in February 1982 and chartered by the Federal Government of Nigeria by the enabling Act No. 76 of 1992.[1] Members of the institute may be Accounting, Legal or other professionals who have obtained the relevant tax expertise. The institute provides training and conducts examinations to determine eligibility.[2] The CITN offers an Advanced Diploma in International Taxation to CITN members who work in international tax.[3] The CITN has been criticized for not providing enough training to members at subsidized rates.[4]
