The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) has extended the deadline for filing individual annual income tax returns to 14 April 2026, offering taxpayers an additional two weeks beyond the original 1 April cut-off.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Executive Chairman of LIRS, Dr Ayodele Subair, explained that the statutory deadline for filing individual annual tax returns is 31 March each year. He noted that the extension is intended to give individuals more time to complete and submit accurate 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.
Describing the platform as secure, user-friendly and accessible around the clock, Dr Subair advised individuals to ensure that their Tax Identification Number (TaxID) is correctly captured in their submissions.
