FIRS Introduces Online Naira Tax-Filling Platform
By Dayo Badmus,
Nigeria’s Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has introduced a new. Tax Administration Solution (TaxPro-Max) to ease tax compliance and modernise tax administration in the country.
Dr. Abdullahi Ahmad, Director, Communications and Liaison Department of FIRS disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja last Saturday.
The initiative comes in a bid to raise Nigeria’s fiscal performance amidst declining revenue.
Ahmad quoted the Executive Chairman, FIRS, Mr Muhammad Nami, as saying that “TaxPro-Max enables seamless registration, filling, payment of taxes, automatic credit of withholding tax and other credits to the Taxpayer’s accounts, among other features.
“The TaxPro-Max also provides a single-view to Taxpayers for all transactions with the Service”. The TaxPro-Max platform is accessible at www.taxpromax.firs.gov.ng.
According to him, “From June 7, 2021, the TaxPro-Max becomes the channel for filing Naira-denominated tax returns in the country.”
He further said, all taxpayers have been notified that all naira-denominated tax returns are to be filed via the TaxPro-Max Solution in order to generate the obligatory Document Identity Number (DIN).
He added that henceforth, taxpayers would not be able to pay without DIN; as such taxpayers wanting to submit their tax returns manually must visit the relevant tax offices.
He said FIRS personnel would be on hand to assist them upload the returns and generate the DIN.
