Frequently Asked Questions
What is TaxC?
TaxC is a Nigerian tax platform covering both personal and business tax. For individuals, there's a Personal Income Tax calculator, a Tax Tracker, and Ada Pro for AI-powered guidance. For business owners, TaxC for Teams adds a Company Income Tax calculator, payroll & PAYE tracking, and Ada — your AI business advisor.
What taxes does TaxC calculate?
For individuals, TaxC calculates Personal Income Tax (PIT) based on Nigeria's 2025/2026 Nigeria Tax Act (NTA) rules — salary, self-employment, rental, and investment income, factoring in deductions like pension contributions and rent relief (up to ₦500,000).
For businesses, TaxC for Teams calculates Company Income Tax (CIT), the 4% Development Levy, and employee PAYE across your whole payroll.
Who needs to pay personal income tax in Nigeria?
According to the Nigeria Tax Act (NTA) 2025, personal income tax is paid by any individual who is deemed a resident of Nigeria (typically determined by physical presence for 183 days or more within a 12-month period) and whose annual income exceeds the ₦800,000 exemption threshold.
What's included in TaxC for Teams?
TaxC for Teams (₦12,000/month) is our business tax suite: a Company Income Tax calculator, payroll & PAYE tracking with CSV import for your employee list, Business Insights with "what if" scenarios, calculation history, and a downloadable PDF summary or payroll CSV export. It also includes personal Ada Pro access at no extra cost.
What's the difference between Ada, Ada Pro, and Ada for Teams?
Ada is the free assistant available across the site for quick personal tax questions.
Ada Pro (₦3,500/month) is a dedicated chat assistant for deeper personal tax guidance — it can search the web for current information and read images or PDFs you upload (payslips, assessments, portal screenshots).
Ada for Teams is built into TaxC for Teams — she reads your live calculator and payroll figures directly, gives specific observations about your business's tax position, can search the web, and can also read attached images or PDFs like invoices or asset registers.
Can I import my payroll instead of typing each employee?
Yes — on TaxC for Teams, the payroll tab has an "Import CSV" button. Upload a CSV with employee names and salaries and TaxC will map the columns automatically and show you a preview before adding anyone, so you can check it looks right first.
Are my calculations saved? Can I export a report?
On TaxC for Teams, your company figures and payroll are saved automatically once you're logged in, and every calculation is kept in your history so you can look back at past runs. You can also download a PDF summary of your business tax position or export your payroll as a CSV, both included free with your subscription.
How does TaxC handle deductions?
For individuals, TaxC lets you input deductions like pension contributions and annual rent paid. Rent relief is calculated as 20% of your rent, capped at ₦500,000. These reduce your taxable income, lowering your tax liability. Other deductions may include life insurance, NHF, etc.
What is Withholding Tax (WHT), and how is it applied?
Withholding Tax (WHT) is a tax deducted at source on certain incomes, like rental income (10%) or investment income (10%). TaxC lets you input WHT paid, which is credited against your final tax liability to avoid double taxation.
Can Ada search the web or read files I send it?
Yes. Ada, Ada Pro, and Ada for Teams can all search the web for anything time-sensitive, like recent NRS announcements or portal changes. Ada Pro and Ada for Teams can also read images and PDFs you attach — payslips, invoices, portal screenshots, and similar documents.
Is my data safe with TaxC?
Yes, TaxC prioritizes your privacy. We don't store sensitive payment information — payments are securely handled by Paystack. Your data (including saved calculations on TaxC for Teams) is private to your account, used only for personalization, calculations, and report generation, and we adhere to strict data protection standards.
What's included in the free personal PDF report?
For individuals, the PDF report is completely free and includes a step-by-step breakdown of your tax calculation, deduction summary (pension, rent relief, etc), tax band details, and filing guidance tailored to your state's IRS. It's perfect for keeping records or sharing with a tax professional.
Calculate now to get your report! (Business owners on TaxC for Teams get their PDF summary free too — see above.)
How do I file my taxes after using TaxC?
TaxC provides an estimate to guide you. Individuals file with their State IRS, online or in person — our free PDF report includes filing guidance for your state. Businesses file Company Income Tax through the NRS's Rev360 portal. You can also ask Ada Pro or Ada for Teams for step-by-step help.
Can TaxC help with company or corporate taxes?
Yes — TaxC for Teams is our business tax suite, covering Company Income Tax, the Development Levy, and payroll PAYE, with an AI business advisor built in. Our blogs also offer resources for company owners.
