FIRS Introduces TaxPro-Max for Filing Tax Returns from June 7

By Hillary Asemota

The Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mr. Muhammad Nami, on Thursday said effective from next week Monday, June 7, TaxPro-Max becomes the new channel for filing Naira denominated tax returns.

The introduction of the new solution to tax filing encumbrances, the Chairman assured will also help eliminate the bottlenecks and drawbacks associated with tax administration in the country.

Nami, who underscores that this is part of the Service’s efforts at modernising tax administration, said TaxPro-Max enables seamless registration, filing, payment of taxes and automatic credit of withholding tax as well as other credits to the taxpayers’ accounts among other of its features.

He added that the new solution also provides a single-view to taxpayers for all transactions with the Service.

All taxpayers, he said are therefore put on notice, explaining 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), taxpayers will not be able to pay without DIN, as such, taxpayers wanting to submit their tax returns manually must visit the relevant tax offices where FIRS personnel will be on hand to assist them to upload the returns and generate DIN.

“In view of the time it might take to upload manual returns and generate the DIN, taxpayers are encouraged to bring manual returns for upload, at least, two weeks before due date.”

He assured that qualified personnel of the Service are on hand to assist taxpayers experiencing challenges in filing return on TaxPro-Max.
