STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT

NEW TAX LAWS WILL COMMENCE ON JANUARY 1, 2026 AS PLANNED

The new tax laws, including those that took effect on June 26, 2025, and the remaining acts scheduled to commence on January 1, 2026, will continue as planned.

These reforms are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a fair, competitive, and robust fiscal foundation for our country.

The tax laws are not designed to raise taxes, but rather to support a structural reset, drive harmonisation, and protect dignity while strengthening the social contract.

I urge all stakeholders to support the implementation phase, which is now firmly in the delivery stage.

Our administration is aware of the public discourse surrounding alleged changes to some provisions of the recently enacted tax laws.

No substantial issue has been established that warrants a disruption of the reform process. Absolute trust is built over time through making the right decisions, not through premature, reactive measures.

I emphasise our administration's unwavering commitment to due process and the integrity of enacted laws. The Presidency pledges to work with the National Assembly to ensure the swift resolution of any issue identified.

I assure all Nigerians that the Federal Government will continue to act in the overriding public interest to ensure a tax system that supports prosperity and shared responsibility.

He wants to operate like subsidy is over and expects us to swallow it.

We've been paying tax, direct tax and indirect tax, transfer tax of 50 naira once you transfer 10000

The criminal only came to kill, loot like never seen before.

Let's all brace up for 2026

He is saying this after dashing the NNPC over 5 trillion naira.

He never promised us anything he only said it's his turn

Criminal drug baron

We shall resist this move by any means possible!!

Won't have issues with it if fairness is applied, including ensuring that politicians don't go free should they be found wanting.

Carry on baba Seyi. Nigerians can only bark, they can't bite. In October bring another that would inflict more pains on the people especially those on nairaland.

The face they make when they taste what they support

Lies. Thesame thing the Liar said about the Dangote refinery that it will bring foreign exchange, improve the value of the Naira, reduce price of fuel.

All lies

So much emphasis on collection, collection and collection, No emphasis on how it won't be looted but judiciously used.
