LIRS has further extended the deadline for filing of individual annual income tax returns.
Glamtush reports that the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) wishes to express its sincere appreciation to esteemed taxpayers for their continued compliance and commitment to the filing of their individual annual income tax returns.
This is contained in a signed statement by Monsurat Amasa-Oyelude, Head, Corporate Communications, LIRS.
Following the earlier extension granted to April 14, the Agency has observed a significant increase in traffic on its eTax platform as more taxpayers endeavour to meet the filing deadline.
In view of this development, and to ensure that all taxpayers are provided with adequate opportunity to successfully complete their filings, LIRS hereby announces a further extension of the deadline, now set for April 21, 2026.
This additional extension is granted in consideration of the overwhelming response and to enhance taxpayer convenience, while maintaining the integrity and accuracy of submissions.
Taxpayers are reminded that the filing of annual income tax returns remains a statutory obligation and are encouraged to take advantage of this final extension to fulfil their civic responsibility.
The Executive Chairman of LIRS, Dr. Ayodele Subair, on Friday reiterated that all filings must be completed electronically via the LIRS eTax platform: https://etax.lirs.net, which remains the only approved channel for submission.
For further enquiries or assistance, taxpayers may visit any LIRS office or contact the Agency through its official communication channels.
