One of the recently amended bills is the Finance Act bill. Its states that: Foreign companies with a significant economic presence in Nigeria are now to pay tax. It is now known that companies do not have to be physically present in Nigeria for them to pay tax. As far as the country is concerned, Presence in the digital and tech space and access to the Nigerian market now qualifies a company to pay income tax to the government.

However, the points in the constitution states that:
The company gets paid for services rendered in Nigeria and to Nigerians.

The company derives a gross turnover or income of more than 25 million Naira or its equivalent in other currencies, in any fiscal year from its services.

The company streams or downloads services of digital content, including but not limited to movies, videos, music, applications, games and e-books to any person in Nigeria.

The company transmits data collected about Nigerian users, where such data has been generated from such users activities on the digital interface including website or mobile applications.
