The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) has extended the deadline for filing individual annual income tax returns to April 14.
On February 25, LIRS asked individual taxpayers in Lagos to
file their annual tax returns for the 2026 year of assessment on or before
March 31.
However, in a statement signed by Monsurat Amasa-Oyelude,
head of corporate communications, on Monday, Ayodele Subair, executive chairman
of LIRS, said the extension, from the March 31 deadline, gives taxpayers more
time to complete their filings.
Subair said individuals must prioritise timely submission of
their returns, noting that tax compliance should be treated as a routine
obligation.
He added that the extension is intended to enable taxpayers
submit accurate returns without errors.
The chairman also said that electronic filing through the
LIRS eTax platform remains the only approved method for submitting annual
retums, as manual filings have been completely phased out.
“Individuals are therefore required to file their returns
exclusively through the LIRS eTax portal: https://etax.lirs.net,” he added.
The chairman described the platform as “secure,
user-friendly, and accessible 24/7”.
“Individuals to ensure that their TaxID (Tax Identification
Number) is correctly captured in their submissions,” the LIRS chairman added.
Subair advised individuals requiring assistance to visit any
of its offices or reach out through its official communication channels.
