The Federal Government has commenced a fresh review of the implementation of Nigeria’s 2025 tax reform laws, with the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, directing a technical subcommittee to identify areas that may require clarification, adjustment or further reform.
Oyedele inaugurated the Technical Subcommittee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms in Abuja on Thursday, September 17, 2026.
The committee has been given six weeks to complete its assignment and submit its recommendations.
The review comes months after the new tax laws became operational on January 1, 2026.
The four major laws that took effect at the beginning of the year are the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025, Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act 2025 and Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Act 2025.
Oyedele said the government was not seeking to discard the reforms but wanted to learn from the experience of their implementation.
He said, “The real test begins when the law meets the economy, as businesses interpret it, administrators implement it, investors respond to it, and citizens experience it. Implementation inevitably reveals areas requiring clarification, refinement or further reform.”
