13th month is a bonus, theres is no tax on that. In my place of work, the 13th month is just ur basic salary without the allowances and so no tax is placed on it, we see it like Christmas bonus. Just like ur leave allowance is not taxable so also is the 13th month, that's per my organization sha and I strongly believe that 13th month shouldn't be taxable. |

ednut1:Well the 13th month should be like a bonus e.g. holiday allowance. I see no reason why it should be taxed. Its an appreciation to encourage the employee. Like I said earlier, mine don't deduct. |

FatokiFemi48: For the record, 13month salary is not statutory in Nigeria. It is not obligatory that such payment is made. Some organizations in Nigeria pay 13th month based on management approval as Christmas bonus to employees, collective bargaining or by a contract of employment between employers and their employees. I would say, it is borne out of magnanimity and motivation to employees. It's one of the measures that could improve workers' well-being. The overall value of the 13th month is to enhance better staff performance and support them during the festive periods. 13th month salary is not taxable.. If at all there is any tax, WHT would be appropriate. 1 Like |

joeyswift: Seems you're mixing up something here. Leave allowance differs from 13th month salary. You're being cheated in style if your leave allowance is termed as your 13th month salary by your employer. I work with a multinational coy here in Nigeria where it abides with Nigeria labour law working conditions. I observe my annual leave each calendar year while earning both my leave allowance and 13th month salary annually. |

First thing is to understand what is 13th month bonus? This is a compensation given to an employee that has worked in a company after a 1 year as a member of staff. This compensation is not a must but an appreciation to an employees to encourage them for an efficient service in the coming year most especially when the company made profit and more clientele in the given year. This 13th month bonus is not statutory according to our laws hence tax is evaded and no deductions what so ever should be done on it by any company paying such, b ut the employees should be made to understand the company places high values in the employees of the company. This is my 12 years in Aviation industry and over the years 13th months bonus has been paid with no tax or deductions on it so if any company deduct tax or any other deductions is basically wrong hence employees core values are not appreciated.

What is 13th month salary? The amount of money you earn from your employer at the end of the 12th calender year equivalent to your monthly salary. Isn't it? This is not taxable bro. Maybe it is for the civil servants I can't say but for the private organisations, It is not and is called "end of the year bonus." To the best of my knowledge though. |

Bigsteveg:. 13th month salary is taxed. Your 13th month salary is higher than your normal salary not because it is not taxed but because 8% pencom is not deducted from 13th month salary. Get further clarification from your accountant 1 Like |
