On Friday, President Bola Tinubu urged Nigerians to use a newly launched Personal Income Tax calculator to estimate their tax liabilities under his administration’s recent tax reforms.
Gatekeepers News reports that in a message posted on his official X account, the President explained that this calculator enables citizens to compare their projected tax obligations under the new reforms with current rates, helping them gain a clearer understanding of the reforms’ impacts on their individual incomes.
The President emphasises that these reforms, set to take effect in January 2026, aim to create a more equitable tax system that does not penalise poverty or burden the most vulnerable members of society.
He said, “A fair tax system must never punish poverty or weigh down the most vulnerable.
“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.
“A Personal Income Tax Calculator has been developed. It allows you to check your estimated tax under the new laws against what you currently pay.
“It shows clearly how these reforms protect low-income earners, ensure progressivity, and simplify compliance in order to deliver a transparent system that works for all.”
Tinubu stated further, “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.”
