Why Land Banking Is the Smartest Way to Beat the 2026 Tax Wave in Nigeria
As Nigeria prepares to roll out new tax policies starting in 2026, more citizens will begin to feel the pressure of additional levies on income, assets, and even everyday items. While the government aims to grow revenue, smart investors are already thinking ahead — looking for tax-efficient ways to protect and grow their wealth. One of the best strategies? Land banking. At Great Marcy Realty, we believe in helping Nigerians secure their financial future through wise and stable investments — and land remains one of the most reliable options out there. ⸻ What Is Land Banking? Land banking simply means buying land now and holding it for future appreciation. You don’t need to develop it immediately — the value naturally increases as development expands toward that area. It’s a patient but powerful investment model that quietly builds wealth. ⸻ Why Land Banking Beats Tax-Heavy Assets With the 2026 tax reforms, many assets like vehicles, businesses, and luxury items will attract more taxes and compliance costs. For instance: • Owning a car means you’ll pay registration renewal, maintenance, and possibly new levies. • Owning property in the city may also come with higher property tax or land use charges. But undeveloped land, especially in growing areas, remains lightly taxed or even tax-free in many parts of Nigeria. That means your money keeps growing without unnecessary deductions or government levies eating into your returns. 2026 and Beyond — Think Smart, Think Ahead The government’s 2026 tax plan shouldn’t scare you — it should motivate you to plan smarter. While others worry about paying more, you can be growing more by investing in something solid, safe, and sustainable: land. At Great Marcy Realty, we help investors secure genuine, verified lands with strong future value — especially in developing areas like Olooru, Ilorin, and other growth corridors. Land banking today means financial peace tomorrow.
