Nigerian Government to Make Tax Identification Number Mandatory for Bank Accounts From January 2026
The Federal Government has announced that all taxable Nigerians must have a Tax Identification Number (TIN) to operate a bank account starting January 1, 2026. The chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, confirmed the policy, noting that it applies only to individuals and businesses that earn income. Students and non-earners are exempt. Backed by the Nigerian Tax Administration Act taking effect next month, the requirement strengthens the tax reform laws President Tinubu signed in 2025 aimed at improving revenue collection, protecting low-income households, and expanding disposable income for workers.
