According to the Voice of Nigeria, in order to reduce transportation costs, the Federation of Nigeria has passed a resolution to reduce the import tax ratio of imported cars from 35 to 5. The previous policy required vehicles imported into Nigeria to pay import taxes and duties of up to 35%, up to 70% in total.

This reform measure has been included in the draft Finance Bill 2020 and is expected to be submitted to the National Assembly for consideration by ** in the coming days. In addition to the adjustment of the import tax on automobiles, the draft also proposes to significantly reduce the import tax on tractors used to transport goods from 35% to 10%. In addition, in order to incentivize private enterprises to donate to COVID-19 relief**, the draft proposes provisions for tax deductions.

Finance Minister Zainab Ahmed stressed that the reduction of import duties on automobiles is aimed at reducing transportation costs. It is worth mentioning that in January 2019, the then Director General of Customs, Hamid Ali, suggested that the federal** tax on imported vehicles be reduced to 10%. Speaking at the International Customs Day 2019 press conference in Abuja, he noted: "Due to the presence of 35 import duties and 35 customs duties, imported vehicles are subject to customs duties of up to 70 in Nigeria. This policy has forced most importers to move to nearby ports and increased the risk of smuggling vehicles between the two countries. ”
