Editor's Insight

The 67% year-on-year surge in CIT reflects both the naira depreciation effect — foreign CIT at ₦1.75 trillion now outweighs domestic at ₦1.21 trillion — and an improving corporate tax compliance environment. Manufacturing and Mining together account for 42% of collections, signalling that the extractive and industrial sectors remain the backbone of Nigerian corporate taxable income. The sharp decline in Financial & Insurance sector CIT (-79.72% QoQ) warrants attention, likely reflecting one-off prior-year adjustments.
