Freelancers in Nigeria, the Government is Coming for Your Money Next!!

Hey 👋

The government is coming for your money next.

Starting January 2026, if you earn over ₦800,000 a year, you’ll pay 20% tax on your income.

Yep, even if you work on Fiverr or Upwork.

Imagine this: Fiverr takes 20%, and then the government takes another 20%😂

Here’s what you can do:

✅ Track your earnings

✅ Set aside that 20% now

✅ Talk to a tax pro to reduce what you owe

Freelancing is freedom, but even freedom gets taxed now. So plan ahead and stay smart.

Catch you inside,
