The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) has extended the deadline for filing individual annual income tax returns to 21 April 2026, following increased activity on its electronic filing platform.
The agency expressed appreciation to taxpayers for their continued compliance and commitment to fulfilling their obligations.
In a statement issued by Monsurat Amasa-Oyelude, Head of Corporate Communications at LIRS, she said, "following the earlier extension granted to April 14, 2026, the agency has observed a significant increase in traffic on its eTax platform as more taxpayers endeavour to meet the filing deadline.”
She added that, “In view of this development, and to ensure that all taxpayers are provided with adequate opportunity to successfully complete their filings, LIRS hereby announces a further extension of the deadline, now set for April 21, 2026.”
According to the agency, the additional extension is intended to accommodate the high volume of submissions while ensuring accuracy and ease of filing for taxpayers.
LIRS reminded residents that filing annual income tax returns remains a statutory obligation and urged them to take advantage of the final extension to meet their civic responsibilities.
The Executive Chairman of LIRS, Dr. Ayodele Subair, reiterated that all filings must be completed electronically via the LIRS eTax platform, which remains the only approved channel for submission.
Taxpayers requiring assistance are advised to visit any LIRS office or contact the agency through its official communication channels.
