From 1, January 2026, Nigerians and non-residents will not be able to open or operate a bank account without a Tax Identification (Tax ID).

The new rule, contained in the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025, was signed into law by President Bola Tinubu on 26, June 2025.

The Act also makes a Tax ID compulsory for insurance, stock market transactions, and contracts with federal and state governments.

According to the new rule, every taxable person must register with the relevant authority to obtain a Tax ID card.

Ministries, departments, and agencies at federal, state, and local levels are equally expected to secure Tax IDs.

Non-residents who supply taxable goods and services to persons in Nigeria will also be required to register and pay tax in the country.

The Act empowers tax authorities to issue a Tax ID to people who fail to apply, or to refuse an application if available information warrants it, with feedback to be given within five working days.

Business owners who suspend or permanently close their operations must notify the tax authority within 30 days, after which their Tax ID will be marked dormant or deregistered.
