With just a few hours to the March 31 deadline, many taxpayers in Nigeria are still uncertain about how to file their personal income tax returns and comply with legal requirements.
Under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, every individual earning income in Nigeria is required to file an annual tax return, covering earnings from the preceding year.
he Minister of State for Finance, formerly Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, had urged Nigerians to file their annual tax returns before March 31.
He stressed that both employers and individuals must comply under the law, adding that individual taxpayers must also file their self-assessment, noting that compliance in this area remains very low.
