The Joint Revenue Board and the Nigerian Revenue Services have rolled out the Nigerian Tax Portal on Monday, letting individuals pull their 13-digit Tax ID with their NIN, last name, and birth date, while businesses use CAC registration.
The new process allows Nigerians to access their Tax Identification Number online, eliminating the need for a separate registration process.
Effective January 1, 2026, it’s required for all tax matters, unifying old systems without new sign-ups or bank penalties.
The JTB promise smoother services like banking, with reactions online praising the automation alongside some worries over taxes amid economic pressures.
According to a post obtained from the Joint Tax Board of Nigeria’s X handle on Monday, the board, formerly known as the Federal Inland Revenue Service, have announced the launch of the Nigerian Tax Identity Portal.
