The first half of 2026 has been a defining period for the Nigerian capital market, with an unprecedented wave of regulatory and market reforms reshaping the landscape.

These initiatives are expected to culminate in a recapitalized market by June 30, 2027, with stronger, more resilient and globally competitive capital market operators, better positioned to support Nigeria’s economic growth.

Our latest publication, “Nigerian Capital Market Strategy 2026: H1 Reform Milestones and H2 Outlook”, examines the key reform milestones achieved during the first half of the year, their implications for market participants, and what to expect in the second half of 2026.

The new tax regime has empowered the Nigeria Revenue Service (and the sub-national tax authorities) to track incomes derived from taxable digital assets and offshore investments for tax purposes, by leveraging tax information exchange agreements signed with foreign tax authorities and bilateral investment treaties signed between Nigeria and other countries.

As tax authorities begin deployment of their income-tracking powers under the new tax system, there have been widespread concerns about the possible abuse of these powers in light of the privacy right guaranteed by the Constitution and data protection safeguards provided in the Nigeria Data Protection Act and relevant regulations.

How can tax authorities strike a balance between their statutory duty to track taxable incomes and assets (wherever located) and taxpayers' statutory right to protection against data breaches? Are there data privacy red lines that tax authorities must not cross? And what implications do these hold for businesses?
