Nigeria | Why is National Housing Fund not included in gross income calculation for my employees over the age 60?

The Finance Act 2020 that has been signed into law on 31st December 2020, included changes to Personal Income tax and redefined gross income.

This influences the gross income on which the consolidated relief was based. For employees age 60 years and older, NHF (which is an allowable) will not be included in the gross income calculation, as they no longer qualify for this calculation.
