The Federal Government has once again upheld it’s policy that every Nigerian taxpayer must file annual tax returns by March 31, 2026. This inclu5, if Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax has already been deducted from salaries.
This was disclosed by Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele,. He made this public a webinar organised in collaboration with the Joint Revenue Board that was later shared publicly on YouTube
Oyedele added advised employers are legally required to file annual returns for their staff, including projections of salaries and tax liabilities, and noted that many organisations had yet to meet the January 31 employer filing deadline.
The renewed push for compliance comes after round tax reforms aimed inorder to strengthen revenue collection and formalising Nigeria’s tax system.
