The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) has extended the deadline for filing of Individual annual tax returns by two weeks, from April 1 to April 14, 2026.
In
a statement issued on Monday, the Executive Chairman of LIRS, Dr. Ayodele
Subair, explained that the statutory deadline for filing of 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.
