In compliance with the stipulations outlined in the Personal Income Tax Amendment Act (PITA) Cap P8 2011, the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), has issued a formal notification to all individual taxpayers, including self-employed individuals and employees under the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) scheme, to file their yearly tax returns on or before March 31, 2024.
Executive Chairman, LIRS, Ayodele Subair, announced this in a statement signed by Head, Corporate Communications, Monsurat Amasa-Oyelude, at the weekend.
Subair, while underscoring the importance of adhering to the deadline and urged all individual taxpayers in Lagos State to fulfill their obligation by the stipulated date to avoid penalties and other statutory consequences, said that the tax returns should be submitted exclusively through the LIRS eTax portal, which can be accessed at https://etax.lirs.net.
The LIRS boss said all taxable entities within Lagos State must register on the eTax portal, which has been designed to provide ease, convenience and security to taxpayers.
“In furtherance of our commitment to facilitating compliance for taxpayers, dedicated tax officers are available at various tax stations to assist individuals in completing online registration and tax return submissions via the eTax portal,” Subair concluded.
