What Changed in the NTA 2025
Wider Tax-Free Band
The first ₦800,000 of chargeable income is now completely exempt. Under the old rules, the tax-free threshold was effectively ₦300,000 after CRA.
Six Progressive Bands
Income is taxed across six bands (0%, 15%, 18%, 21%, 23%, 25%) instead of the old six bands (7%, 11%, 15%, 19%, 21%, 24%). Lower earners benefit most.
CRA Abolished
The Consolidated Relief Allowance (20% of gross + ₦200,000) is gone. Replaced by the ₦800K tax-free band and rent relief capped at ₦500,000 per annum.
Minimum Tax Scrapped
The 1% minimum tax that applied when chargeable income was below a threshold has been completely abolished. If you fall within the tax-free band, your liability is zero.
