Earlier this month — 47 more days

17 October 2026

  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's VAT calculator e-invoicing tier notice treating an already-overdue, penalty-bearing large-taxpayer deadline the same as a calm, years-away one — it now shows a clear danger or caution warning that matches how urgent your tier's deadline actually is.
  • NEWTaxLane's Company Income Tax calculator now tells you which NRS e-invoicing tier and go-live date applies to the turnover you entered, in all five supported languages.
  • NEWAdded a VAT calculator FAQ entry on what happens if your business doesn't comply with NRS e-invoicing requirements — a ₦200,000 penalty, 100% of the tax due on that transaction, plus interest at the CBN Monetary Policy Rate.
  • FIXEDFixed the "Learn about TIN registration" link on the Company Income Tax and Withholding Tax results staying in English for Hausa, Yorùbá, Igbo, and Pidgin speakers.
  • FIXEDTaxLane's /compare page no longer links to Taxngr or BizEdge, both currently unreachable (a persistent server error and a missing page) — their names still appear in the comparison, just not as clickable links until they're back.

16 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's tax professional directory now shows what it's like to be listed when a search turns up no results, and lets you ask to be notified by email, phone, or WhatsApp once a matching professional joins for your state and specialty.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's PAYE calculator now explains that claiming rent relief requires being able to show a tenancy agreement or rent receipts if asked — both next to the "Annual rent paid" field and in a new FAQ entry.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's Employer Cost calculator now explains the same rent-relief documentation requirement next to its own "Annual rent paid" field, in all five supported languages.
  • NEWTaxLane's VAT calculator eligibility checker now tells you which NRS e-invoicing tier and go-live date applies to the turnover you entered, in all five supported languages.

15 October 2026

  • FIXEDFixed the Naira sign (₦) overlapping the digit next to it in the preview image shown when a TaxLane link is shared on WhatsApp, X, or other apps.
  • NEWAdded AfroTools to TaxLane's /compare alternatives list, bringing the total to 42.
  • NEWAdded a "Will I pay tax twice?" section to TaxLane's Japa relocation guide, covering double-taxation relief between Nigeria and the UK, Canada, and the US.

14 October 2026

  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's Pension (RSA) Contribution and NHF Contribution tiles on the main calculator picker showing their title and hint in English even when browsing in Nigerian Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, or Igbo.

13 October 2026

  • FIXEDThis homepage's live PAYE calculator preview had an awkward empty margin on tablet-width screens — it now fills the same width as the rest of the page's content there, matching phone and desktop.

12 October 2026

  • IMPROVEDThis homepage's live PAYE calculator preview is now a real link straight into the full calculator, instead of a non-interactive image — click or tap it anywhere to open TaxLane with your own number.
  • NEWThis homepage's "Explore TaxLane further" list now links to TaxLane's new Nigeria Tax Glossary, so you can jump straight to it from here.
  • NEWTaxLane added an Abia Land Use Charge calculator — its fourteenth state-level (not federal) tax tool, and its fourth for Nigeria's South-East region after Enugu, Anambra, and Imo — estimating your annual charge as a flat percentage of your own assessed property value across four property categories, covering all eight published exemptions, translated into Igbo alongside English from launch.

11 October 2026

  • FIXEDThis homepage showed two near-identical "Open the calculator" buttons stacked close together on mobile — the second one is now a plain text link so it doesn't look like a duplicate.

10 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's embeddable calculator widget and free WordPress plugin can now show any of its 25 calculators in Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, or Igbo, not just English.
  • NEWThis homepage's live PAYE calculator preview now has a language picker (English, Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, Igbo) so you can see it in the language TaxLane supports, not just English.
  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's "Year in Review" shareable card showing a lot of empty space for a year with only one or two stats — it now shows that figure as a large, centered highlight instead.
  • FIXEDFixed a bug where previewing TaxLane's embed widget in a language other than English could leave the rest of the site showing that language on your next visit instead of switching back to English.
  • NEWTaxLane added Housing Loan Interest as a sixth optional PAYE relief — covers interest paid on a loan to build or improve your own owner-occupied home, with no cap.

9 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added a "Scan receipt" option to its Self-Employed Direct Assessment expense log — snap a photo of a receipt and its total pre-fills a new expense line instead of typing it. Processed entirely on your device; no photo is ever stored or sent anywhere.
  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's Direct Assessment expense log "Total deductible expenses" readout being invisible — it rendered in the exact same colour as its own background.
  • NEWTaxLane added an "Add purchases" option to its VAT Net Payable calculator's input-VAT field — scan a photo of each purchase receipt (or enter amounts by hand) instead of typing one input-VAT total.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's receipt-scan results on Direct Assessment, VAT Net Payable, and the PAYE payslip check now show a clear checkmark or alert icon depending on whether a total was found, instead of plain text.
  • NEWTaxLane added a "Year in Review" shareable recap card to Records — pick a year and get a highlight card you can download as an image or share.

8 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added Pension (RSA) Contribution and NHF Contribution to its free Developer API, bringing it to 13 calculator endpoints.
  • NEWTaxLane added a "Where this comes from" sources section to Pension (RSA) Contribution and NHF Contribution, linking back to the specific Act sections behind each calculation — the last two calculators that were missing it.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's NHF Contribution calculator now shows a quick answer and a short FAQ before you enter any numbers, instead of a near-empty screen.
  • NEWTaxLane added an itemized business-expense log to its Self-Employed Direct Assessment calculator — list each expense with a date, description, and category (TaxLane tells you which categories NTA 2025 actually allows) instead of typing one lump total, with a running deductible/non-deductible split and a CSV download. Available in English, Hausa, Igbo, Nigerian Pidgin, and Yorùbá.
  • NEWTaxLane added voice input to every amount field — tap the microphone icon and speak a number instead of typing it, on browsers that support it (Chrome, Edge, and Android).
  • FIXEDFixed low-contrast text on 3 more TaxLane warning/caution chips and pills so they meet accessibility contrast guidelines.
  • FIXEDThis homepage's Developer API badge said "11 endpoints" — it now correctly shows 13, matching TaxLane's Pension and NHF additions.

7 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added a "Listen" button to every calculator result — hear your result read aloud instead of reading it yourself. Works in English always, and in Hausa, Igbo, or Yorùbá when your device has a voice for that language installed.
  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's Pension (RSA) Contribution and NHF Contribution calculators' Share, Copy, Download image, Download PDF, and Save-to-Records output always appearing in English even when Hausa, Igbo, Nigerian Pidgin, or Yorùbá was selected — it now matches whichever language you're using on screen.
  • FIXEDFixed a result line rendering with no styling at all (plain black text, no spacing) on TaxLane's NHF Contribution calculator and seven state Land Use Charge calculators (Kano, Edo, Imo, Kogi, Kwara, Kaduna, and Borno) — it now displays correctly like the rest of each result panel.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's row of result action buttons (Listen, Save, Copy, Copy link, Share, Download image, Download PDF) no longer wraps into an uneven, stranded row on narrower phone screens — it now always shows a clean first row with a "More" button that reveals the rest.

6 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added a Pension (RSA) Contribution & Growth Projection calculator — its twelfth federal (not state-level) tax tool — showing the employee (8%) and employer (10%) RSA contribution split from your monthly salary, plus an illustrative year-by-year chart of your retirement fund's growth with a collapsible full table underneath; translated into Hausa, Igbo, and Yorùbá alongside English from launch.
  • NEWTaxLane added an NHF (National Housing Fund) Contribution calculator — its thirteenth federal tax tool — showing your annual and monthly National Housing Fund contribution at the standard 2.5% employee rate from your basic salary, plus plain-language notes on who the deduction is mandatory for and the FMBN mortgage-loan eligibility it builds towards; also available in Hausa, Igbo, Nigerian Pidgin, and Yorùbá.
  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's "Embed this calculator" feature on 14 calculators — the new Pension (RSA) Contribution calculator and all thirteen state Land Use Charge calculators — which were generating a broken, full-chrome embed snippet instead of the compact, chrome-free one.
  • FIXEDThis homepage's /embed gallery was missing a card for TaxLane's new Pension (RSA) Contribution calculator — added it alongside the others.

5 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added a tax professional directory — browse self-submitted tax consultants, chartered accountants, and advisory firms by state and specialty, or apply to be listed yourself. Every listing is reviewed before it goes live, so the directory starts out empty while the first applications come in.
  • NEWThis homepage's "Explore TaxLane further" list now links straight to TaxLane's new tax professional directory.
  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's Records page Combined income tax and WHT-credit summary cards leaving out Self-Employed (Direct Assessment) income when combining it with PAYE and/or Presumptive Tax — all three income types now add up correctly.
  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's footer overflowing horizontally on tablet-sized screens (768-899px wide) after the new directory link was added — it now wraps cleanly onto a second line.

4 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's VAT calculator can now share a "Copy link" that reopens the calculator with your amount, VAT mode, and zero-rated setting already filled in and the same result computed, instead of just a screenshot.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's Borno Ground Rent (Land Use Charge) calculator now also translates into Yorùbá, Nigerian Pidgin, and Igbo, completing full language coverage to match all twelve other states.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's VAT calculator's "Copy link" also now works in Net Payable mode (output VAT / input VAT), reopening the calculator with both amounts prefilled and the same result computed.
  • NEWAdded ToolBase, a free, no-signup Nigeria finance/business tools site with 11 tax calculators, to TaxLane's /compare alternatives list, bringing the total to 39.

3 October 2026

  • IMPROVEDTaxLane added a "Claiming input VAT" section to its VAT guide explaining which business purchases you can deduct from the VAT you collect from customers — goods, services, and fixed assets all qualify since 1 January 2026, as long as you're VAT-registered, hold a valid VAT invoice, and claim within five years — with a worked example and an updated field hint and FAQ item.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's Borno Ground Rent (Land Use Charge) calculator now translates into Hausa too, matching its North-East region.
  • NEWInstalling TaxLane now adds quick-action shortcuts to its home-screen icon — long-press (mobile) or right-click (desktop) to jump straight into PAYE, VAT, or Records without opening the app first.

2 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added a Borno Ground Rent (Land Use Charge) calculator — its thirteenth state-level (not federal) tax tool, and its first for Nigeria's North-East region — estimating your annual charge from your property category and area across seven categories, including two flat-fee categories and published exemptions.
  • FIXEDFixed low-contrast accent-colored text on its own tinted background in light mode on TaxLane — the homepage's "How it works" step numbers, the Records comparison screen's favorable/credit badges, the PAYE result panel's "Updated" tag, and the Company Income Tax bridge-tip's percent marker were all hard to read against their background; all four now meet accessibility contrast standards.
  • NEWTaxLane added a Feedback page — report a bug, suggest a new calculator or state, or send general feedback, with an optional email if you'd like a reply, no account needed.

1 October 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added a Kaduna Land Use Charge calculator — its twelfth state-level (not federal) tax tool, and its second for Nigeria's North-West region after Kano — estimating your annual charge as a flat percentage of your own assessed property value across five property categories, covering all seven exemption categories under the state's own law.
  • NEWTaxLane's PAYE calculator can now share a "Copy link" that reopens the calculator with your inputs already filled in and the same result computed, instead of just a screenshot.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's PAYE calculator result panel is now organized into three labeled groups instead of one long run of toggles, so related options are easier to find.
  • FIXEDFixed the Kwara Land Charge calculator's Petroleum property rate, which could render as "0.35000000000000003%" instead of "0.35%" due to floating-point rounding.

30 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added a Kogi Land Use Charge calculator — its tenth state-level (not federal) tax tool, and its first for Nigeria's North-Central region — estimating your annual charge from land and building value across eight published property-category rates, a tiered early-payment discount, and a ten-band building depreciation table, translated into Yorùbá alongside English from launch.
  • NEWTaxLane added a Kwara Land Charge calculator — its eleventh state-level (not federal) tax tool, and North-Central's second after Kogi — estimating your annual charge across four property categories, including a five-sub-zone Petroleum rate and a capped agricultural per-hectare schedule, using zone-selected land values, translated into Yorùbá alongside English from launch.
  • FIXEDThe new Kogi and Kwara Land Use/Land Charge calculators' Yorùbá pages were briefly falling back to the generic calculator picker instead of showing the calculator itself — both now fixed.
  • FIXEDFixed low-contrast text in this homepage's hero — the take-home-pay badge and language chip now meet accessibility contrast standards in light mode.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's State Property Tax (Land Use Charge) hub now shows a "Full estimate" or "Checker" badge on each state tile, so you know at a glance which states have a complete naira calculator and which only check exemptions and late-payment penalties.

29 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's Import Duty calculator now has a "General goods" / "Vehicle" mode: switch to Vehicle mode for a flat Used (20% duty + 15% levy) or CKD/semi-knocked-down (5% duty + 5% levy) rate instead of the general 5-band goods schedule, matching how Nigeria actually rates vehicle imports.
  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's State Property Tax (Land Use Charge) hub page, where on narrow mobile screens the subtitle could overlap the heading's wrapped second line instead of sitting cleanly below it.
  • IMPROVEDThis homepage's TaxLane section now leads with a one-line summary — "Twenty free calculators — Nigeria's federal taxes plus Land Use Charge for nine states, calculated in seconds" — instead of a 20-item run-on sentence naming every calculator already listed in the links below it.

28 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's Import Duty calculator can now take your invoice's FOB, freight, and insurance amounts in the original foreign currency (US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, and more) with your own exchange rate, instead of requiring you to convert to Naira yourself first — translated into Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo from day one, and carried through to Records, CSV/PDF export, and shared results.
  • IMPROVEDSwitching between TaxLane's state Land Use Charge calculators now takes one tap: each state's page has a "Switch state" dropdown, so moving from one state's calculator to another no longer means going back to the calculator picker first.
  • FIXEDFixed this homepage's mobile view, where the full calculator-link directory used to be carried along with the interactive demo, pushing the company's own pitch and FAQ almost to the bottom of the page — that pitch now appears right after the demo, with the rest of the links following it.
  • IMPROVEDThis homepage's hero now states TaxLane's breadth up front — "20 calculators · 9 states · 5 languages" — instead of leaving visitors to count.

27 September 2026

  • IMPROVEDTidied TaxLane's calculator picker: the 8 state Land Use Charge tiles that had been crowding the main grid are now one "State Property Tax (Land Use Charge)" tile, which opens a new page listing all 8 states with a search box to jump straight to yours.

26 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added an Anambra Land Use Charge checker — its eighth state-level (not federal) tax tool, and its second for Nigeria's South-East region — checking whether a commonly-reported exemption category applies to your property and calculating the late-payment penalty on a charge amount you already have, translated into Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo from day one.
  • FIXEDThe Anambra Land Use Charge picker tile was sharing its icon with Lagos's tile and briefly showing raw placeholder text instead of its title and hint — both now fixed.

25 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added an Edo Land Use Charge calculator — its seventh state-level (not federal) tax tool, and its first for Nigeria's South-South region — to estimate your annual Land Use Charge from your land and building values, covering all seven published property-category rates and an age- or condition-based building depreciation table, in English, Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo from day one.
  • FIXEDThe Enugu Land Use Charge checker's Pidgin, Hausa, and Yorùbá pages now show the checker instead of the generic calculator picker, and its Igbo page is now indexable — all four were missing since launch.
  • FIXEDTaxLane's state-level Land Use Charge picker tiles (Ogun, Oyo, Kano, Ondo, Enugu) now each show their own icon instead of five of the six sharing one identical icon.
  • FIXEDThis homepage's product description and structured data were still listing five state Land Use Charge calculators instead of Enugu's six.

24 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added an Enugu Land Use Charge checker — its sixth state-level (not federal) tax tool — checking exemption eligibility against six statutory categories and calculating the late-payment penalty on a charge amount you already have, translated into Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo from day one.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's Records "On pace for ≈₦X by December" annual run-rate projection now shows as a tinted, icon-badged callout instead of plain text.
  • FIXEDThe Ondo Land Use Charge checker's Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo pages were briefly showing the generic calculator picker instead of the checker itself.
  • FIXEDThis homepage's "Compare N alternatives" link was still showing a stale count from before Careergo joined the /compare list.

23 September 2026

  • IMPROVEDThis homepage's "More calculators" list now separates TaxLane's five state-level Land Use Charge calculators (Lagos/Ogun/Oyo/Kano/Ondo) under their own "State: Land Use Charge" label, instead of mixing them into one flat list with the federal calculators.
  • FIXEDThe state Land Use Charge calculators in that list now share one consistent icon instead of unrelated ones.
  • IMPROVEDThe homepage footer now credits "© 2026 Quine Works" alongside the existing Privacy/Terms/Changelog/Status links.

22 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added a Kano Land Use Charge calculator — its fourth state-level (not federal) tax — covering Ground Rent, Tenement Rate, Property Tax, and Infrastructure Maintenance Charge across residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, institutional, and recreation property, plus ten exemption categories, in English and Hausa from day one.
  • IMPROVEDThe Oyo Land Use Charge calculator now translates into Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too — every TaxLane calculator now has full four-language coverage.
  • IMPROVEDThe Kano Land Use Charge calculator now translates into Pidgin, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, joining its existing Hausa coverage.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's homepage and /compare checklist now show which taxes it covers as a scannable list of chips instead of a sentence that kept drifting out of date, fully translated in all five languages.

21 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added an Oyo Land Use Charge calculator — its third state-level (not federal) tax — estimating your annual charge from land and building value across residential, industrial, commercial, health, vacant, and agricultural property, plus a statutory minimum and exemptions.
  • NEWTaxLane's Records screen now has a "Back up data" button that downloads all your household's records as a single file, and a "Restore from backup" flow to bring them back — merge with what's already there, or replace it — since Records only ever lived in your browser and a cleared cache or new device used to mean starting over.
  • FIXEDFixed this homepage's tablet-width (700-959px) hero section, where the "Try the calculator" button sat flush-left while the headline and FAQ text above and below it stayed centered — the whole tier now lines up left, matching the desktop layout.
  • IMPROVEDUpdated the social preview image (og:image) shown when quineworks.com links are shared — the tagline no longer names a fixed calculator count that goes stale every time TaxLane ships another one, and a new "Free API" badge joins the existing Free/On-device/No-account trust row.

20 September 2026

  • IMPROVEDThe Ogun Land Use & Amenities Charge checker now translates into Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too.
  • FIXEDFixed the trailing card on odd-numbered /guides and /compare lists on TaxLane rendering wider than every other card and off-center, instead of matching them.

19 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane added a Lagos Land Use Charge calculator — its first state-level (not federal) tax — covering owner-occupied, commercial, and vacant land, plus exemptions and pensioner relief, translated into Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo from day one.
  • NEWTaxLane added an Ogun Land Use & Amenities Charge checker — its second state-level (not federal) tax — checking your exemption eligibility and early-payment discount.
  • FIXEDFixed this homepage's keyboard tab order on mobile and tablet jumping past the FAQ section before reaching the calculator, out of step with the order things actually appear on screen.
  • FIXEDFixed this homepage's sticky nav bar wrapping lopsidedly on narrow phone screens (around 320-345px wide), leaving the theme toggle off-center from the links above it.

18 September 2026

  • NEWAdded "Quiz" to this homepage's "Explore TaxLane further" list, linking to TaxLane's Nigeria Tax Knowledge Quiz — live since August but never linked from here until now.
  • FIXEDFixed the Company Income Tax calculator's "Professional services business?" toggle, and its Share/export text, staying in English for Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo speakers — it now shows the same Yes/No translation already used elsewhere on the page.

17 September 2026

  • FIXEDFixed the homepage footer's link to this page reading "Changelog" while every other page's footer calls it "What's New" — both now use the same label.
  • FIXEDClosed a large empty gap below the TaxLane card's "Open the calculator" button on this homepage, left over from an earlier layout change.

16 September 2026

  • FIXEDFixed the Company Income Tax calculator's standard-rate and development-levy disclaimer always showing in English for Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo speakers, even though the rest of the result already followed your selected language.
  • FIXEDFixed the "Share on WhatsApp" button staying in English across every calculator and Records screen for Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo speakers — it now follows your selected language like the rest of the share/download actions next to it.

15 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's Records screen and Records Compare are now fully translated into Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo — saved-record cards, page title, filters, empty states, and Copy/Share/Download PNG/Download PDF output all match the language you've selected, not just the calculators they were saved from.
  • IMPROVEDUpdated the social preview image (og:image) shown when quineworks.com links are shared to add an "Also in Pidgin, Hausa, Yoruba & Igbo" badge, matching the badge already live on the homepage hero — link previews now surface TaxLane's five-language coverage too.

14 September 2026

  • IMPROVEDThis homepage's hero now shows a static PAYE calculator snapshot beside the headline on desktop screens (960px and wider), matching the calculator-first layout already shipped for phone and tablet — first-time visitors now see the product before the pitch copy on every screen size.
  • FIXEDFixed a leftover gap between the headline and the new calculator snapshot on wide desktop screens (1280px and up), left over from the same-day layout change above — the two now sit aligned as one centered block.
  • NEWAdded a small "Also in Pidgin, Hausa, Yoruba & Igbo" badge beneath the hero tagline, so TaxLane's five-language coverage is visible on first glance instead of only being discoverable once you're inside the calculator.
  • NEWTaxLane's VAT calculator's "Net payable" mode now translates into Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, matching every other calculator mode.

13 September 2026

  • IMPROVEDRestored TaxLane's calculator to the top of this homepage's product card on phone and tablet screens, ahead of the pitch copy and FAQ — a July change we'd reverted after it briefly conflicted with a since-removed PouchBooks card.
  • FIXEDFixed the hero's "Try the calculator ↓" button on phone and tablet screens scrolling backward past content you'd already scrolled by, now that the calculator sits above the pitch copy — it opens TaxLane directly instead.
  • IMPROVEDRedesigned the social preview image (og:image) shown when quineworks.com links are shared — replaces the plain logo card with a live PAYE calculator proof: NGN 500,000 gross income turning into a NGN 427,500 take-home.

12 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's free developer API SDKs are now actually installable — npm install taxlane, pip install taxlane, and composer require quineworks/taxlane all work, instead of a "not yet available" placeholder.
  • NEWTaxLane's Payroll calculator now offers a formula-driven Excel template download alongside its existing CSV template — open it in Excel or Google Sheets and it calculates PAYE for up to 50 employees on its own, using the same tax bands as the live calculator.
  • NEWAdded KeepAm to TaxLane's /compare alternatives list, bringing the total to 29.

11 September 2026

  • NEWAdded a "Try the calculator ↓" button directly in this homepage's hero — previously the only link up top was a mailto: address, and the page's one real call-to-action sat about 1,200px further down, past the trust section and product card.
  • NEWTaxLane's Payroll calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too — every TaxLane calculator now has full three-language coverage, including the mode toggle, guided and paste panels, results table, and payslip export.
  • NEWTaxLane's PAYE calculator now accepts income in US Dollars, British Pounds, or Euros — enter your foreign-currency amount and exchange rate and it converts to Naira for you, with the result saved to Records the same way as a Naira entry.

10 September 2026

  • FIXEDFixed the embeddable-calculator gallery (/embed) leaving its 10th card alone with empty space beside it on desktop screens — cards now lay out in two wider columns instead of three.
  • FIXEDFixed this homepage's embedded PAYE calculator preview getting clipped into a hidden internal scroll area on phone and tablet screens — it now shows its full height, including the "Refine your result" options and calculator credit.
  • FIXEDFixed a half-width divider line above the "Each product built well" section sitting orphaned next to the trust list on tablet screens, with nothing under it — it now matches the clean, borderless transition already used on desktop.
  • NEWTaxLane's Stamp Duty calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, matching PAYE, VAT, Presumptive Tax, Direct Assessment, Employer Cost, Withholding Tax, and CIT.
  • NEWTaxLane's Capital Gains Tax (CGT) calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, including the digital-asset (crypto) category picker and its per-category disclaimers.
  • NEWTaxLane's Import Duty & Landed Cost calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too — every TaxLane calculator except Payroll now has full three-language coverage.

9 September 2026

  • IMPROVEDSlimmed this homepage's quicklink bar to two pills and added a Compare, Guides, and Filing Calendar tile group inside the TaxLane card, so all three were reachable from the homepage instead of only from deep links.
  • IMPROVEDRestyled the TaxLane card's secondary links (Compare, Guides, Filing Calendar, and more) from bordered icon tiles into a plain divided text list, so the PAYE and VAT featured buttons stand out instead of getting lost among ten equally-weighted tiles.
  • NEWTaxLane's Company Income Tax (CIT) calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, matching PAYE, VAT, Presumptive Tax, Direct Assessment, Employer Cost, and Withholding Tax.

8 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's developer API "Try it" console now supports the batch PAYE endpoint (POST /v1/payroll/batch) — build up to 5 employee rows in a form, or paste a JSON array directly, with either mode staying in sync as you switch between them.
  • NEWTaxLane's Employer Cost of Employment calculator now shows a "Total tax & contribution rate" figure and a 3-segment bar breaking down net take-home, employee PAYE, and employer contributions as a share of total employment cost.
  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's Employer Cost calculator's two breakdown bars using inconsistent colors for the same entity — employer contributions and employee PAYE now use one color each across both bars, with a small legend added for clarity.
  • NEWTaxLane's developer API now has an official Python SDK (pip install taxlane), covering all 11 endpoints alongside the existing JavaScript/TypeScript SDK.
  • NEWTaxLane's developer API now has an official PHP SDK (composer require quineworks/taxlane), covering all 11 endpoints alongside the existing JavaScript/TypeScript and Python SDKs.
  • NEWTaxLane's Filing Calendar can now remind you in this browser before a deadline, even if you haven't opened the app — turn on "Get reminders in this browser" and nothing is sent anywhere; it only works in the browser you turn it on in.

7 September 2026

  • FIXEDFixed the pay-period breakdown on TaxLane's PAYE calculator overflowing the screen on narrow phones — Annual, Monthly, Weekly, and Daily now stack as separate rows instead of squeezing into a table.
  • NEWTaxLane's Withholding Tax calculator now translates into Hausa, Yorùbá, and Igbo too, matching PAYE, VAT, Presumptive Tax, Direct Assessment, and Employer Cost.
  • NEWAdded Talent.com and nigeriataxcalculator.com to TaxLane's /compare alternatives page, bringing the list to twenty-seven Nigerian tax tools.
  • FIXEDCorrected TaxLane's developer API OpenAPI spec, which incorrectly said there were no rate limits — it now documents the real shared limit (50 requests/second, 100 burst) and a 429 response example for every endpoint.

6 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's Withholding Tax calculator now covers three more transaction types — dividends and interest (both 10%) and royalties (5% for individuals, 10% for companies) — alongside professional fees, technical services, rent, and general contracts.
  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's developer API field-table column headers still overlapping on the narrowest phone screens (320px wide), one breakpoint past last week's fix.
  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's developer docs code samples now have real syntax highlighting and a labeled header showing the language and status code.

5 September 2026

  • NEWTaxLane's PAYE payslip tax check panel now lets you snap a photo of your payslip instead of typing the tax figure — it reads the number straight off the image and pre-fills the field for you to confirm. No photo is ever stored or sent anywhere; it’s processed on your device and discarded right after.
  • IMPROVEDUpdated this homepage's on-device wording to state plainly that nothing leaves your browser, now that TaxLane is the only product here and it has no accounts or sync.

3 September 2026

  • FIXEDTaxLane's VAT calculator FAQ in Hausa, Yorùbá, Igbo, and Pidgin was missing two questions that the English version already had — whether small businesses have to charge VAT, and whether everything is really taxed at 7.5%. All four languages now show the full seven-question FAQ.

  • FIXEDFixed TaxLane's Import Duty calculator's entry-mode toggle stacking into one merged, broken-looking pill on mobile instead of two clean side-by-side options.

  • IMPROVEDTaxLane's Hausa and Yorùbá toggles now show an honest note instead of silently staying in English on calculators that aren't translated yet, matching Pidgin.

29 August 2026

25 August 2026

20 August 2026
