According to PUNCH, President Bola Tinubu said the new tax laws will begin on January 1, 2026, insisting the government is moving ahead despite lingering debate around implementation and potential pushback from some quarters.
The presidency’s line is that the reforms are designed to modernise the tax system, widen the base, and improve collection efficiency—while reducing leakages and uncertainty that have long weakened fiscal planning.
Officials also framed the rollout as part of a broader reform bundle meant to stabilise the economy and strengthen public finances, with the administration urging stakeholders to focus on execution rather than delay.
Premium Times also reported Tinubu calling the reforms a “once-in-a-generation opportunity,” while Reuters quoted him saying “No substantial issue should cause us to renege on a programme that will benefit our economy.”
Validation: Premium Times said “once-in-a-generation opportunity” and Reuters reported “No substantial issue should cause us to renege on a programme that will benefit our economy.”
Echotitbits take: This is the kind of policy moment where the headline is easy, but the real story is implementation. Watch for the early guidance notes, compliance timelines, and how disputes (if any) are resolved without undermining confidence.
