𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗧𝗔𝗫 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: 𝗝𝗔𝗡𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲! ~ 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹, 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 According to The Nation, a new tax regime, anchored on the Tax Reform Bills, is set to roll out in January 2026, pending the President’s signature. 🇳🇬 In a country where over 133 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty, the government is about to place more financial weight on already burdened citizens and businesses. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀: 🔸 New levies and adjustments across sectors 🔸 Potential increase in VAT, business taxes, and compliance rules 🔸 Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), artisans, and informal sector players may face stricter monitoring 🔸 Economic activities could shrink further if palliatives and exemptions are not clearly defined 📊 While reforms are necessary for national revenue, the timing, transparency, and implementation strategy must be questioned. ❓ Is this tax regime designed to grow the economy or choke it? ❓ Are Nigerians being taxed to prosperity or poverty? ❓ What protections are in place for the poor, unemployed, and struggling business owners? Before January 2026: ✅ Let there be public hearings ✅ Let civil society and business leaders review the bills ✅ Let there be clear, people-first communication not ambush policies Nigeria needs reform, yes. But not at the expense of the people who are barely surviving. If you want more taxes, give more electricity, security, jobs, and justice. ✊🏽 Nigerians must be informed, not just governed. Policies must not be dropped like bombs. #taxreform #newtaxregime #economicjustice #grownaija #nigeria2026 #accountability #wedeservebetter #citizensfirst
