Here are the key things every Nigerian should know:
- Small Businesses Pay 0% Company Tax
If a business is classified as a small company, it does not pay company income tax.
This policy helps small businesses grow and survive.
- Most Companies Pay 30% Tax
Companies that are not classified as small businesses will pay 30% tax on their profits.
This is the standard company tax rate in Nigeria.
- Big Companies Must Pay At Least 15% Tax
Some very large companies sometimes reduce their tax using different deductions.
To ensure fairness, the law says:
If a company’s tax becomes less than 15% of its profit, it must pay additional tax to make it reach 15%.
- Minimum Wage Earners Pay No Personal Income Tax
Workers earning the national minimum wage are exempt from personal income tax.
This helps protect low-income earners.
What This Means For Nigeria
- Small businesses get relief
- Big companies pay their fair share
- Low-income workers are protected
