Naija Tax Law No Go Burden Low-Income Earning Pipo

My people, as we dey hear am, some people dey yan say Naija new tax law go make life hard for low-income earners. But make we no forget say wetin dem dey talk no gree with wetin the law really say!

From January 1, 2026, dem don set new tax framework wey dey flex for low-income earners, e no go make dem suffer. Jobs wey dem dey earn around the national minimum wage go enjoy tax exemption, meaning say plenty workers no go pay tax at all. Na so the new law wan help those wey dey hustle at bottom.

Data show say any taxable income wey dey below ₦800,000 go dey fall within 0% tax bracket, meaning anybody wey dey earn below that money go dey clear. Only if you dey earn above that level, na im your tax every year go come dey increase gradually. No be say dem dey pile heavy load for ground for low earners o, na to help dem make dem no go dey struggle!

And no forget about small businesses too! The new tax law don increase the Company Income Tax exemption level. Now, if your business dey make below ₦100 million, you go qualify as small company and you no go pay Company Income Tax. This one na big upgrade from wetin e suppose dey before!

You see, the essence of all these changes be say make we protect the ones wey dey vulnerable, and also make higher earners contribute more to the system, without making dem wey dey strugle to dey pay tax. Na better plan dis be!

Some pipo carry am say these reforms go increase tax for low-income earners, but wetin dem dey talk no match wetin the law dey actually provide. Na so some people dey mislead! The real talk be say dem don remove many low-income earners from tax completely. Nigeria dey face wetin we sabi as fiscal wahala, and wetin we need na serious engagement, not all these fire-raising news wey no dey help anybody.

So, as we dey observe how dem go implement this policy, make we dey look out for transparency and accountability wey go show say dem dey serious. Na through meaningful debates we fit take shine light on wetin we go fit do better.

We fit talk wetin we want, but make sure say na correct gist we dey yarn! This law dey aimed to create balance for everybody, make we no carry our matters enter ground, abeg!
