New 13-Digit Tax ID in Nigeria: What It Means for Individuals, Businesses, and Corporate Bank Accounts

Nigeria’s tax identification system has entered a new phase with the introduction of the new 13-digit Tax ID. This new Tax ID now replaces the old 10-digit TIN and is designed to make tax identification easier, more secure, and more connected across Nigeria’s tax system. The Tax Identification Number, now commonly called Tax ID, is a unique number jointly issued by the Nigeria Revenue Service and the Joint Revenue Board for identifying individuals and businesses for tax administration, compliance, and enforcement. The official Nigerian Tax ID Portal describes it as a unique number issued in line with Nigerian tax laws for individuals and entities.  For individuals, the Tax ID is linked to the National Identification Number, NIN.

This means individuals can retrieve their Tax ID using NIN, while registered businesses can retrieve theirs using CAC details.  Wh...

NIN Registration in Nigeria: Meaning, Requirements, Benefits, and How to Get Your NIN

The National Identification Number, commonly called NIN, is now one of the most important identity records in Nigeria. It is not just a number printed on a slip. It is a unique identity number connected to a person’s official record in the National Identity Database. Once a person is enrolled, the number becomes part of that person’s identity for life. In simple terms, NIN helps the government and approved institutions confirm that a person is who they claim to be. This is why it is now requested for many important services across the country. Today, NIN is required in many areas of daily life. You may need it when registering or linking your SIM card, opening or updating a bank account, applying for an international passport, correcting official records, processing certain school or employment documents, and accessing some government-related services. Many organizations now use NIN as a way to reduce identity fraud, duplicate records, and false information. This is why every Nigerian ...

CAC Name Search Nigeria: How to Check Your Preferable Business Names and Company Name

Before you pay anyone to register a business name in Nigeria, the first thing you should do is a CAC name search. Many people lose money because they trust fake agents, duplicated business names, edited certificates, or people who claim a name is “available” without checking the official Corporate Affairs Commission portal. The CAC name search helps you confirm whether a business name, company name, incorporated trustee, or registered entity already exists in the CAC database. It also helps you avoid choosing a name that may later be rejected during registration. As of 2026, the official CAC search process is done through the Corporate Affairs Commission’s online platforms, especially the public search section and the Company Registration Portal, also called the CRP or iCRP portal. The CAC public search page allows users to search existing companies and business entities by categories such as All, RC Number, AV Code, and Approved Name. A CAC name search before registering or transact...
