Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current VAT rate in Nigeria?
Nigeria's standard VAT rate is 7.5%, set by the Finance Act. It applies to most goods and services sold by VAT-registered businesses, with some categories (like basic food items and medical products) exempted.
How do I add VAT to a price?
Multiply the price by 0.075 to get the VAT amount, then add it to the original price. For example, ₦10,000 + (₦10,000 × 0.075) = ₦10,750.
How do I remove VAT from a price that already includes it?
Divide the VAT-inclusive price by 1.075 to get the net price, then subtract that from the original amount to find the VAT portion. For example, ₦10,750 ÷ 1.075 = ₦10,000 net, so VAT was ₦750.
Do small businesses need to charge VAT?
Under Nigerian tax law, businesses with turnover below a set threshold may qualify for VAT exemption. Always confirm your obligations with FIRS or a tax professional, since thresholds and rules can change.
