The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service has announced a two-week extension for the filing of individual annual tax returns, moving the deadline from April 1 to April 14, 2026.
The announcement was contained in a statement released on Monday and signed by the Head of Corporate Communications, Monsurat Amasa-Oyelude.
In the statement, the Executive Chairman of LIRS, Dr. Ayodele Subair, explained that although the statutory deadline for filing personal tax returns remains March 31 each year, the extension was granted to give taxpayers more time to submit accurate returns.
He also emphasized the importance of timely compliance, noting that individuals should make tax filing a regular responsibility.
Dr. Subair further stressed that electronic filing remains the only approved method for submitting annual returns, as manual submissions have been discontinued.
He stated that taxpayers must file exclusively through the LIRS eTax platform at https://etax.lirs.net, describing it as secure, user-friendly, and available around the clock.
