Nigerian Religious Leaders Now Required to Pay Taxes on Salaries, Says Oyedele
Taiwo Oyedele emphasized that pastors, imams, and other religious workers are liable to pay tax on their salaries earned from religious institutions in Nigeria. He stated that religious bodies are not exempt from taxation, and the new tax reform aims to ensure that every citizen, including religious leaders, declares their income honestly and pays taxes accordingly.
This move is part of Nigeria's ongoing fiscal reform to broaden the tax base, improve compliance, and ensure a fair tax system for all citizens.
