FIRS Introduces Platform For Filing Naira-Denominated Tax Returns

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has introduced a new
channel for filing naira-denominated tax returns which will take
effect from June 7.

In a statement, Muhammad Nami, executive chairman of FIRS, said
the tax administration solution (TaxPro-Max) is aimed at easing tax
compliance and modernisation of tax administration in the
country.

“TaxPro-Max enables seamless registration, filing, payment of
taxes and automatic credit of withholding tax as well as other
credits to the taxpayer’s accounts among other features, TaxPro-Max
also provides a single-view to taxpayers for all transactions with
the service,” Nami said.

The FIRS chief said all taxpayers have been notified that
naira-denominated tax returns are to be filed via the TaxPro-Max in
order to generate the obligatory document identity number
(DIN).

”Taxpayers will not be able to pay without the DIN; as such,
taxpayers wanting to submit their tax returns manually must visit
the relevant tax office where FIRS personnel will be on hand to
assist them to upload the returns and generate the DIN,” he
said.

“In view of the time it might take to upload manual returns and
generate the DIN, taxpayers are encouraged to bring manual returns
for upload at least, two weeks before the due date.”

“Qualified personnel of the service are on hand to assist
taxpayers experiencing challenges in filing returns on the
TaxPro-Max. They may be reached via email
(taxpromax@firs.gov.ng).”
