President Bola Tinubu has unveiled a personal income tax calculator designed to help Nigerians estimate their tax liabilities.
In a post on his X handle on Thursday, Tinubu said the tool would simplify compliance under the new tax regime.
He explained that the reforms, which take effect from January 2026, were created to ensure fairness and equity in taxation.
The president said: “With the new tax laws I recently signed, taking effect from January 2026, we have lifted this burden and created a path of equity, fairness, and true redistribution in our economy.”
Tinubu added that the calculator allows individuals to compare their current tax payments with estimates under the new laws.
