The Lagos State Internal
Revenue Service (LIRS) is currently optimizing its payment procedures for
utmost efficiency and taxpayers' convenience.
The Executive Chairman of the
Lagos State Internal Revenue Service, Mr Ayodele Subair, in a statement
issued on Sunday, said the Agency, as part of its digitalization
process, is discontinuing all previously used bill references effective from August 1st, 2022.
Consequently, according to the
Chairman, only the Enterprise Tax Solutions
(eTax), generated bill references will be acceptable for tax
payments.
The eTax platform, (https://etax.lirs.net) which went live in October
2019, was launched by LIRS to engender seamless tax operations and reduce
compliance costs to taxpayers. Since its launch, eTax has improved the
effectiveness of tax administration in Lagos State.
Mr Subair added that the eTax
was built as a one-stop shop for all tax transactions, and it is in the same
spirit that the generation of bill references, required for all tax payments is
now exclusive to the eTax platform.
He reiterated that by the
cutoff date of August 1st, 2022, eTax would become the only authorized channel
to generate bill reference for tax payments and other tax-related transactions
in Lagos State.
To generate a bill reference
on e-Tax, taxpayers can use the 5 easy steps below:
1. Visit https://etax.lirs.net
2. Input your Payer ID and
password to log in
3. Select revenue type, and
upload schedule (For PAYE & Withholding Taxes)
4. Generate a bill reference
5. Make a payment on any of the multiple channels available, using the generated bill reference.
For further assistance on eTax or other related enquiries, taxpayers are enjoined to call LIRS customer service hotline on 0700 2255 5477 or send email to etaxinfo@lirs.net.
