What is the current VAT rate in Nigeria?

Nigeria's standard VAT rate is 7.5%, as set by the Finance Act 2019 which raised it from 5%. Certain goods and services are zero-rated or exempt under the VAT Act. Always confirm the current rate with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for compliance.

How do I back-calculate the pre-VAT price from a VAT-inclusive total?

Divide the inclusive amount by (1 + VAT rate/100). For example, ₦53,750 ÷ 1.075 = ₦50,000 pre-VAT. Enter the inclusive amount in the Amount field and adjust the rate — the tool shows all three values so you can verify the split.
