"@NoldLawal @hanny365 @Big_Mck There is a blanket exemption for minimum wage earners. This means that if you are computing tax for a minimum wage earner you simply make it zero irrespective of the N800k base allowance. The reason everyone keeps referencing N800k is that it is the base allowance threshold"
