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 was March 31 every year.
He noted that the extension was intended to provide individuals with additional time to complete and submit accurate tax returns.
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 remained the only approved method for submitting annual returns, as manual filings had 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, Subair advised individuals to ensure that their TaxID (Tax Identification Number) was correctly captured in their submissions.
