The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) has announced a new deadline of April 14 for the submission of individual annual income tax returns.
The extension comes after the agency initially directed taxpayers in the state to file their 2026 year of assessment returns by March 31.
According to a statement issued by the Head of Corporate Communications, Monsurat Amasa-Oyelude, the Executive Chairman of LIRS, Ayodele Subair, said the additional time is intended to allow taxpayers complete their filings accurately and reduce errors.
He emphasized the importance of meeting tax obligations, urging individuals to make compliance a regular civic duty.
Subair also reiterated that all tax returns must now be submitted electronically via the LIRS eTax platform, noting that manual submissions are no longer accepted.
He described the platform as secure, easy to use, and accessible круглclock, encouraging taxpayers to ensure their Tax Identification Number (TaxID) is correctly entered during the process.
For those needing support, the agency advised visiting any LIRS office or reaching out through its official communication channels.
