The recently proposed tax reform bills in Nigeria have stirred intense discussions among citizens and stakeholders. While some Nigerians commend the initiative as a step toward a fairer tax system, others express concerns about its potential economic impact. The bill, which introduces significant changes to the country’s tax structure, aims to implement a progressive tax regime that ensures individuals and businesses contribute to national revenue based on their earnings.

Under the proposed framework, individuals earning up to ₦800,000 annually will be exempt from paying taxes, providing relief to low-income earners. For those earning above this threshold, the tax rate gradually increases based on their income level. The next ₦2,200,000 of income will be taxed at 15%, followed by 18% for the subsequent ₦9,000,000. Higher earners will pay 21% on the next ₦13,000,000, while those with incomes exceeding ₦25,000,000 will face a 23% tax rate. For the wealthiest individuals with annual…

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has enforced a directive requiring financial institutions to impose a ₦50 Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) on transactions of ₦10,000 and above. The regulation, introduced in 2022, is gaining traction as financial institutions adjust to ensure compliance.
