President Bola Tinubu on Friday encouraged Nigerians to use a newly launched Personal Income Tax calculator designed to show how much they would pay under the tax reforms recently signed into law.
In a post on his official X account, Tinubu explained that the tool enables citizens to compare their estimated tax obligations under the new reforms with current rates, offering clarity on how individual incomes will be affected.
The reforms, which take effect in January 2026, aim to create a fairer tax system that does not penalise poverty or burden the most vulnerable.
“A fair tax system must never punish poverty or weigh down the most vulnerable,” Tinubu 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.”
He added that the calculator highlights how the reforms safeguard low-income earners, strengthen progressivity, and simplify compliance, ultimately delivering a transparent system for all.
“Together, we are renewing hope in the Nigeria of our dreams. Take a bet on our country. Bet on Nigeria to work for you, your family, and your community,” he stated.
