The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has debunked a viral flyer circulating on social media, claiming that the Federal Government is implementing a new vehicle tax from July 1. The image advises Nigerians to pay their vehicle tax promptly to avoid penalties.
The NRS released a statement on Monday through its official platform, dismissing the claim and instructing the public to ignore the false messages. They clarified that they did not issue the notice and encouraged anyone who shared it to correct the information.
“A fraudulent flyer claiming a new vehicle tax takes effect on July 1, 2026, is spreading online. The NRS did NOT issue this notice. If you receive it, delete it. If you’ve shared it, correct the record. Stay informed, stay safe,” the NRS stated.
