How VAT Works in Nigeria
Value Added Tax (VAT) in Nigeria is a consumption tax applied to goods and services. It is charged at a standard rate of 7.5% and is usually included in the final price paid by consumers.
Businesses are responsible for collecting VAT on behalf of the government and remitting it to the appropriate tax authority. VAT can either be added to a base price or already included in a total price.
VAT Rate in Nigeria
The current VAT rate in Nigeria is 7.5%. This means:
- If a product costs ₦100,000, VAT is ₦7,500

Example VAT Calculation
If you have a VAT-exclusive amount of ₦200,000:
