    Edo IRS Extends PAYE Filing Deadline to February 14

    Clan Reporters Posted on

    The Edo State Internal Revenue Service (EIRS) has announced a two-week extension for the filing of Annual Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) tax returns.

    Originally due by the statutory deadline of January 31, employers now have until February 14, 2026, to complete their submissions.

    In a statement released on Friday, Courage Eboigbe, Head of Corporate Communications for the EIRS, explained that the grace period is intended to assist employers in navigating the complexities of recent tax reforms. Specifically, the extension aims to ensure all organizations have sufficient time to align their filings with the new provisions of the Nigerian Tax Administration Act (NTAA) 2025.

    The EIRS directed all employers to utilize the official digital portal https://paye.eirs.gov.ng to file returns on behalf of their employees. To be considered valid, all submissions must:

    • Be duly signed and stamped by the employer or an accredited tax agent.
    • And be dully compliant with Section 33 of the NTAA 2025.

    Despite the window of extension, the revenue service emphasized that the law remains firm regarding non-compliance. The agency warned that sanctions will be strictly enforced against defaulting employers in line with Sections 127 and 101 of the NTAA.

    The EIRS encouraged employers to take advantage of the additional days to avoid these penalties.

    For those requiring technical assistance or clarification, the agency has provided dedicated helplines at 0816 809 1243 and 0813 097 0146.
