Tax education that actually makes sense.
The Tax Cup started from a simple conversation: Nigerian tax shouldn’t be an obstacle course of heavy legal jargon, hidden traps, and sleepless nights for business owners. We sit down with you and explain it simply, like a good friend over a cup of tea.
Empowering Nigerian Traders, Founders, and Finance Teams
Whether you are selling goods in a bustling market, scaling an ambitious tech startup in Yaba, running a neighbourhood pharmacy, or balancing books for an enterprise, understanding your taxes shouldn't require a law degree.
At The Tax Cup, we believe knowing your tax rights and duties is a superpower. When you understand your exact numbers under the new Nigeria Tax Act 2025/2026 rules, you can protect your cash flow, claim legitimate reliefs, avoid panic, and sleep soundly.
A Personal Approach to Nigerian Tax
Real industry experience paired with entrepreneurial empathy.
Mubarak Aminu
Hi, I'm Mubarak Aminu, the founder of The Tax Cup. I started it from a simple belief: Nigerian tax shouldn't be an obstacle course of jargon and sleepless nights for business owners.
I have over three years of hands-on experience in tax compliance, advisory and audit support, covering PAYE, VAT and withholding tax. I'm also an ICAN finalist and recently completed the CITN Oil and Gas Taxation certificate. As the founder of MLAZ Limited, a handmade footwear company, I understand first-hand the pressures of running a business in Nigeria.
Pull up a chair. I'll explain it simply, like a good friend over a cup of tea.
