Nigeria Tightens Crypto Taxes With Identity Tracking

Published by
Sohrab Khawas

Nigeria has implemented sweeping tax reforms that require crypto activity to be linked to Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) and National Identity Numbers (NINs), allowing authorities to trace digital asset transactions for taxation and enforcement purposes without compromising blockchain security. Under the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025, virtual asset service providers are required to collect detailed customer information, including names, addresses, TINs, and NINs, and submit monthly reports to the tax authorities. Firms must also flag large or suspicious transactions, bringing previously opaque crypto markets into formal oversight.
