TaxTech NG is currently in pre-launch development. This platform is not yet available for public tax filing. All features, designs, and content are subject to change before the official 2026 rollout.
Understand the key updates to Nigeria's personal income tax system under the 2026 National Revenue Service (NRS) reforms.
The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is being reorganized and renamed to the National Revenue Service (NRS) as part of comprehensive tax reform efforts.
The reform introduces new Personal Income Tax (PIT) bands designed to modernize Nigeria's tax system and make it more progressive and equitable.
For the first time, informal sector workers - including artisans, traders, and freelancers - are explicitly included through simplified presumptive tax rules.
The NRS now encourages digital-first filing, with identity validation using BVN/TIN to ensure accuracy and compliance.
TaxTech NG helps users navigate these new requirements with step-by-step workflows, automatic calculations, and NRS-compliant receipts.
