The Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) has urged the Federal Government to suspend the Green Tax Policy on imported vehicles, which is set to begin on July 1, 2026. They argue that there has been insufficient engagement with key stakeholders, particularly by the Nigeria Customs Service, regarding the implementation of the policy.

Importers and clearing agents in Nigeria are expressing concerns over high demurrage costs at seaports, which they attribute to delays caused by the National Single Window (NSW) platform affecting cargo clearance. According to Lucky Amiwero, the National President of the National Council of Managing Directors of Licensed Customs Agents, importers are incurring daily demurrage fees of N100,000 due to these prolonged processes.

According to Vanguard Business, stakeholders in Nigeria's automobile and maritime sectors have identified delays and high clearing costs as significant factors driving car importers to use neighboring countries' ports and engage in smuggling. The Nigeria Customs Service reported the seizure of 870 smuggled vehicles valued at N3.88 billion over a 15-month period.

A dispute has arisen between the Organised Private Sector of Nigeria (OPSN) and the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) regarding the implementation of new tax laws. This controversy is linked to a directive from the NRS that mandates companies to file their Companies Income Tax (CIT) returns for the year 2026, according to Daily Trust.

The Africa Association of Professional Freight Forwarders and Logistics of Nigeria (APFFLON) has cautioned that Nigeria may not fully benefit from the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) despite the government's approval of a $1 billion credit facility to support exporters. The association emphasized that without necessary reforms, the potential advantages of the AfCFTA may not be realized, according to Vanguard Business.

The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has requested the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) to extend the June 30, 2026 deadline for filing Company Income Tax (CIT) returns by one month. This request is based on what LCCI describes as widespread technical failures on the newly deployed Rev360 tax platform, which impacted the filing process.
