The Federal Government’s newly enacted Tax Laws officially came into effect today, January 1, 2026. The legislation, signed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, introduces significant changes aimed at strengthening revenue generation, improving compliance, and streamlining Nigeria’s tax framework.
Authorities have assured Nigerians that certified copies of the signed bills will be made available to address concerns over alleged discrepancies in the Acts. The reforms are expected to impact businesses, individuals, and government agencies, with emphasis on transparency and accountability in implementation.
Economic analysts note that the commencement of the new tax regime marks a critical step in Nigeria’s fiscal policy direction for 2026, as the government seeks to balance revenue mobilization with economic growth.
