What changed on 1 January 2026

Nigeria reset its personal tax system under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025. If you are working from guidance written before that date, some of it now describes a system that no longer exists.

₦800,000

Taxed at 0%

The expanded zero band that replaced consolidated relief.

₦500,000

Rent relief cap

Or 20% of annual rent you pay, whichever is lower.

₦200,000

Consolidated relief

Abolished. Guidance still quoting it is out of date.

Your state

Where you file

State Internal Revenue Service, not the federal one.

The consolidated relief allowance is gone

For years the calculation began by deducting ₦200,000 plus a percentage of gross. That deduction has been removed entirely, and any guide still starting there is describing the old system.

An expanded 0% band replaced it

The first ₦800,000 of annual income is now taxed at nothing, with bands rising above that. For a lot of part-time platform earners this is more generous than what it replaced, which is the part most coverage misses.

Rent relief is not tax on rental income

They run in opposite directions. Rent relief is a deduction for rent you pay as a tenant, the lower of ₦500,000 or 20% of your annual rent. Rent you receive as a landlord or host is income, taxable in the same personal return.

You file with your state, not the federal service

Personal Income Tax for individuals goes to the State Internal Revenue Service where you reside, the LIRS in Lagos, rather than to the federal Nigeria Revenue Service. Getting this wrong wastes a filing season.

Residents are taxed on worldwide income

USD from Upwork, GBP from a British client and naira from Bolt all count. The official conversion basis is the CBN rate, and the rate your processor gave you is frequently a different figure.

Record the rate, not just the amount

What protects you is the rate, the date and the source for every conversion, so the naira figure you declare is one you can explain. A figure you cannot evidence is the problem, whichever rate produced it.

The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 position, checked September 2026. For the current position see the Federal Inland Revenue Service and your State Internal Revenue Service. General information, not advice on your own return.

One place for every platform you earn from

Naira from Bolt, dollars from Upwork, and a processor rate that matches neither the CBN figure nor what hit your account. The Income Tracker holds each amount in the currency it arrived in, with the rate and date used to convert it, so your naira total is evidenced rather than estimated at year end.
