New Nigeria Tax Reforms: A Guide to the 2026 Fiscal Transition

Nigeria is embarking on a historic transformation of its fiscal landscape.

New Angola Tax Rates – Effective 1st January 2026

Effective 1 January 2026, Angola revised its Personal Income Tax (Imposto sobre o Rendimento do Trabalho – IRT) framework, primarily to ease the tax burden on low-income earners while maintaining a progressive structure for higher income levels. The most significant change is the increase of the monthly tax-exempt threshold to AOA 150,000, meaning employment income up to this amount is fully exempt from IRT.
