The legislation, recently signed into law by President Bola Tinubu, seeks to modernize Nigeria’s tax administration, expand the tax net, and strengthen government revenue.
According to Part II, Section 4 of the Act, “Every taxable person shall register with the relevant tax authority and obtain a Taxpayer Identification Card (Tax ID) for the purpose of compliance with tax obligations.” This requirement also applies to all ministries, departments, and agencies at federal, state, and local levels.
Non-resident individuals or companies supplying taxable goods and services in Nigeria are equally mandated to register for a Tax ID, as stipulated in Section 6 (1), making them subject to Nigerian tax obligations.
