Buying & costs

Capital gains tax

Also called CGT

Tax that may be due on the profit when you sell a property.

If you sell a property for more than you paid, the gain may be taxable. Nigeria’s tax laws were overhauled in 2025, and how gains are taxed now depends on whether the seller is an individual or a company and on any reliefs that apply.

Get advice from a tax professional before you sell so the cost is in your numbers.

General information about property in the FCT, not legal or tax advice. Rules, fees and processes change, so confirm the current position with AGIS, a lawyer or our team before you act.
