US EditionNigeria: Lirs Demands 31 January Deadline for Employers' Annual Tax Returns Filing
Employers must file detailed annual returns electronically by Jan 31 to comply with the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025 and avoid statutory penalties, LIRS said.
- In a Thursday statement, LIRS Executive Chairman Dr Ayodele Subair said employers must file annual tax returns for the 2025 financial year electronically via the LIRS eTax portal.
- Citing the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025, LIRS noted Section 14 requires detailed returns of emoluments and taxes deducted, urging early, accurate filing and use of official support channels.
- Employers must disclose all employee emoluments, report payments to service providers, vendors and consultants, and remit all applicable taxes to relevant tax authorities.
- Non-Compliance will attract statutory sanctions and administrative penalties under the new tax law, and employers risk filing disruptions if employees lack a Tax Identification Number, so LIRS advised verification and prompt TaxID generation through official LIRS support channels.
- To simplify administration, LIRS described the eTax portal as secure, user-friendly, accessible 24/7, and the only approved filing method to support Lagos State fiscal planning.
