The bills are the Kogi State Internal Revenue Service (Establishment) Law, 2025, and the Kogi State Taxes and Levies (Approved List for Collection) Law, 2025.
A government statement explained that the move is expected to boost state revenue, enhance transparency, and promote economic growth.
“Key benefits include:
Exemptions for low-income earners: Individuals earning below N800,000 annually are exempt from tax.

“Technology-driven efficiency: Digitalised tax administration will reduce human interference and promote accountabili
“The New Tax Laws aim to support structural reset, drive harmonisation, and protect dignity rather than raise tax obligations.”
