Abeg my people, make we yarn about better news wey just drop from Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Mr Taiwo Oyedele. E don talk say the new tax law wey dem just introduce don start to dey sweet Naija workers pocket as dem dey receive higher take-home pay! E get as e be, no be lie!
For him post wey he drop for X (formerly known as Twitter), Oyedele yan say the feedback wey dem don gather from workers wey collect their January 2026 salary don show say this new PAYE wahala don reduce small-small. Workers wey dey chop from the tax deductions wey dem dey take for salary don feel am, and na good news be that!
According to the man wey sabi, the lower PAYE deductions no be just normal gists, but na serious impact of the Federal Government tax reforms wey dem dey run to help workers catch small-better money. Dis one suppose make money dey flow better for the economy, and if all work well, we go fit chop sweet things for our pocket. Una sabi say dem dey plan to simplify tax administration too. Na good move, abi?
Oyedele no stop there. E talk say the new tax framework go help formal sector employees wey dey pay tax directly from dem salary. Na dem wey dey form the bulk of the workforce, and e make sense say dem go fit enjoy these new changes.
But abeg, e no mean say everything don solve. The Committee still dey work with Joint Revenue Board to organize one special session wey go gather HR Directors, Payroll Managers, and all those people wey get hand for tax matter. Dem go fit gist about the new law and make sure say e go dey work for everybody.
As we dey talk, the government dey monitor how this new tax law dey enter everywhere. Dem want ensure say e no be just paper work, but say e go dey really help workers, na im be the goal. Dem don make it clear say this tax reform go help about 98% of Naija workers to either pay no tax or pay lesser than before, no be small relief at all!
We fit shout hallelujah for the small businesses too because about 97% of them go dey exempt from plenty taxes. E really dey fresh for the economy, we go just dey watch as the thing dey unfold. But, make we dey hope say dem go take am serious, because we need this kind good news to continue for Naija.
