In Nigeria, social security deductions, such as contributions to the National Pension Scheme, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), and the National Housing Fund (NHF), are generally deductible when calculating taxable income. This means that the amounts contributed towards these schemes by employees can be subtracted from their gross income before applying the income tax rates. This provision helps reduce the taxable income of employees, potentially lowering their overall income tax liability and encouraging participation in these social security programs.
