The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) has extended the deadline for filing individual annual tax returns by two weeks, from April 1 to April 14, 2026.
Brand News Day Nigeria reports that in a statement issued and signed on Monday, through Monsurat Amasa-Oyelude, Head, Corporate Communications, LIRS, noted that the Executive Chairman of LIRS, Dr Ayodele Subair, explained that the statutory deadline for filing individual annual tax returns is March 31 every year.
He noted that the extension is intended to provide individuals with additional time to complete and submit accurate tax returns.
Dr. Subair stated that individuals must give priority to the timely filing of their annual income tax returns, noting that compliance should be embedded as a routine personal practice.
He also reiterated that electronic filing through the LIRS eTax platform remains the only approved method for submitting annual returns, 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.
Describing the platform as secure, user-friendly, and accessible 24/7, Dr Subair advised individuals to ensure that their TaxID (Tax Identification Number) is correctly captured in their submissions.
For further enquiries or assistance, individual taxpayers may visit any LIRS office or contact the Service through the
