The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) has extended the deadline for filing of annual returns for individual taxpayers, including self-employed persons, to May 31, 2020.
LIRS chairman, Ayodele Subair, who disclosed this, said the extension is due to the coronavirus pandemic spreading fast in Nigeria and in this regard, the deadline for filing annual returns is March 31 of every fiscal year.
Subair said; "The extension of the deadline of the annual returns is in response to appeals made by taxpayers as well as a policy shift by the agency to assuage the effect of COVID-19 on the taxpayers and residents of Lagos state," Subair said in a statement.
"We implore the taxpayers to access our eTax platform for all tax operations and administration matters, including the filing of annual returns from the comfort of their homes and offices.
”They can do this, by simply logging on to the eTax platform via https://etax.lirs.net or calling our customer care center on 0700 CALL LIRS (070022555477).”
Subair appealed to the residents of Lagos state to adhere strictly to the COVID-19 safety guidelines as issued by relevant health authorities to prevent the further spread of the virus in Lagos state as it records the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country.
I'm a simple, talented teammate and a unique blend in any platform.
