US EditionNigeria: Govt Never Introduced Fresh Tax On Vehicles, NRS Debunks False Infographic
The agency said the graphic did not come from government and urged Nigerians to rely only on verified official channels.
- The Nigeria Revenue Service debunked a viral infographic claiming the Federal Government introduced a new vehicle tax effective July 1, 2026, confirming no such tax exists.
- Adorned with the Federal Government logo to appear authentic, the deceptive material directed vehicle owners to pay levies "online or at approved banks and agencies" without an identifiable author.
- Special Adviser to the NRS Chairman Dare Adekanmbi stated the agency was compelled to respond after the fake notice, which was allegedly designed to deceive the public, saying, "The NRS wishes to state categorically that the information did not emanate from the Service."
- The Service advised Nigerians to trust only information disseminated through verified official channels, as Adekanmbi urged citizens to follow the NRS's official social media handles and website for accurate tax information.
- While the infographic remains unauthored, the NRS emphasizes that all tax-related directives from the Federal Government are communicated exclusively through established, verifiable platforms as the agency monitors for ongoing misinformation.
