LET’S TALK ABOUT TIN - TAX ID
Recently, there have been updates circulating about TIN (Tax Identification Number) and the enforcement expected by 2026. I’ve received a lot of questions about this, so I decided to make this post to give more clarification, especially since many people are still confused about the information, whether it's true or not. While some don't know if they're part of the Information or not. You just need to calm down and read this post carefully so you'll understand better.
Below are some important things you should know before going for TIN registration;
1. It is true that the government plans to enforce TIN more strictly from January 1st, 2026.
2. Only people who earn income or run a business will need a TIN, especially for bank and business transactions.
3. Not every Nigerian needs a TIN just because they have a bank account.
4. Students, dependants, and people who use their accounts strictly for personal purposes are not forced to get a TIN.
5. In many cases, your NIN already works as your Tax ID, so you may not need to apply again.
❌ It is not true that every Nigerian must get a TIN immediately or their bank account will be blocked.
Finally,
If you earn money, run a business, or use your account for business, Pls, TIN is important!
If not, there’s no need to panic.
