The Edo State Internal Revenue Service on Sunday urged individuals, professionals, and business owners in the state to file their annual tax returns before the March 31 deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement by the Executive Chairman of the EIRS, John Odior, the notice was issued to help taxpayers avoid administrative penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the statement, Odior emphasised that filing is a \u201cnon-optional, statutory, legal, and civic obligation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added, \u201cThe mandate applies to a broad spectrum of the Edo State workforce, including employees and professionals, entrepreneurs and business owners, online traders and content creators, tradesmen and women in the informal sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe requirement, according to the public notice, is rooted in Section 24 (f) of the 1999 Constitution and Section 13 of the Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA) 2025.\u201dRelated News<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Odior said that to streamline the process, the EIRS has shifted to an electronic system, allowing taxpayers to fulfil their obligations from the comfort of their homes or offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To complete the filing process, he urged taxpayers to visit www.eirs.gov.ng to download Tax Form A with attachments, which must include a duly completed self-assessment form, total income from all sources for the preceding year, details of personal reliefs and tax computations, audited financial statements (for business or trade income), a valid taxpayer ID, and evidence of payment of the tax due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EIRS said completed forms should be emailed directly to\u00a0e-filing@eirs.gov.ng, warning that failure to comply, refusal to file, or submission of incomplete or inaccurate information would result in administrative penalties as prescribed under the Nigeria Tax Administration Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTax filing is not just a legal requirement; it is a vital contribution to the growth and development of Edo State,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
