VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

January 1st, 2026, you won't be able to operate your account again if you don’t have your Tax Identification Number.

‎millions of Nigerians will be stranded in 2026 if they don’t wake up now.

‎Now, let me tell you the 2026 Trap Nobody is Talking About

‎From January 1, 2026:

‎No bank account without TIN (Tax Identification Number).

‎No business operation without TIN.

‎No access to financial services without TIN.

‎Even your stock brokers will start requesting for TIN.

‎Whether you are a market woman, a student, a civil servant, a yahoo boy, a small business hustler, or even a foreigner living in Nigeria, if you don’t have a Tax ID, your financial life is locked.

‎This is not a rumor. It’s law. You may be wondering...

‎Why Is Government Doing This?

‎Here are the secrets behind the new Tax Law:

‎1. To Catch Ghost Money: Too much untracked money is flowing in Nigeria. Government wants to know who is earning it.

‎2. To Expand Tax Net

‎3. To Track Transactions: Every account, every transfer, every business transaction will now be linked to your Tax ID. No hiding.

‎

‎TIN will be Your New Identity

‎Forget BVN or NIN, the government is shifting power to TIN. That’s the master key.

‎Banks Will Block You Silently. One day in January 2026, you’ll just open your app and see: Service Unavailable - Provide TIN.

‎It’s Not Only for Companies, but  Every single individual that operates a bank account must have it.

‎ It’s not only about collecting tax. It’s about building a database of Nigerians’ financial lives. 

‎Government will now see your income, your spending, your transfers.

‎How to Get Your Tax Identification Number (TIN)

‎‎For Online Registration: you can register this via Joint Tax Board(JTB) TIN registration Portal.
