 <\/p>\n

The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), has fixed January 31 as deadline for filing of annual tax returns by employers of Labour in the state.<\/p>\n

The agency said section 81 (2) of the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA) Cap P8 LFN 2004 (as amended), stipulates January 31st as the deadline for filing of annual income tax returns, failing which penalty accrues.<\/p>\n

According to a statement made available to nationalwire, Tuesday, the Executive Chairman of Lagos State Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Ayodele Subair urges all businesses and employers of labour resident within Lagos State, to file their annual income tax returns on or before January 31, 2022, to avoid payment of penalties as well as other statutory sanctions.<\/p>\n

He said, the only available platform for filing of annual income tax returns in Lagos State is the LIRS e-Tax portal: https:\/\/etax.lirs.net. “The e-Tax portal is built for convenience of taxpayers, is easy, convenient and safe. All businesses and employers of labor are advised to use the e-Tax portal to file their returns.<\/p>

“Taxpayer ID of all employees is compulsory for the annual income tax returns to be successful filed on the e-Tax portal. Therefore, all employees and taxable persons within the State are advised to generate a taxpayer ID (where applicable) and file their individual annual income tax returns on the e-Tax portal.<\/p>\n

“As part of the Agency\u2019s quest to ease compliance obligations for taxpayers, it has designated some staff at its various offices to assist taxpayers with using the e-Tax portal and other filing related issues”, he added.<\/p>\n
