Abdul Muhammed Law Practice
Abdul Muhammed Law Practice provides you with a structured presentation guide for registering technical services agreements with NOTAP.
Introduction
Technical services agreements are designed for short-term engagements, typically lasting a maximum of 6 months, during which an expatriate provides specific services within a project contract.
- Agreement duration
Technical services agreements are suitable for short-term services, not exceeding 6 months.
- Payment structure
Payment for technical services is typically based on a per diem basis. Technical service fees are determined based on man-hours per diem or monthly rates for experts providing short-term services in Nigeria.
These rates adhere to international standards.
- Duration limitation
For technical services agreements with a duration longer than six months, payment based on a per diem monthly rate is not allowed.
- Payment remittance
Technical service fees and salaries of expatriates must be remitted through Personal Home Remittance (PHR) to ensure transparency and compliance.
- Immigration stamping
A key requirement for NOTAP is that the entry and exit documents of the expatriate must be appropriately stamped by Nigeria Immigration, demonstrating their legal status within the country.
- Service provision
All services outlined in the technical services agreement must be provided as specified. The per diem rate will be used to compute the technology fee.
- Renewal consideration
NOTAP generally does not favor the renewal of technical service agreements. Extensions to the duration of work may be allowed but must be supported by justifiable documentation.
Conclusion
These guidelines provide a clear and concise framework for registering technical services agreements with NOTAP, ensuring compliance with regulations, transparent payment structures, and clear expectations regarding the duration and scope of short-term services.
