FILING OF INDIVIDUAL ANNUAL TAX RETURNS

In compliance with Section 41 of the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA) 2011 (as amended), the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KW-IRS) notifies and reminds all taxable persons resident in Kwara State, that it is required of all income earners to file Individual Annual Tax Returns of all incomes, from ALL sources, for the preceding year.

The requirement as provided in Section 41(1) of the Personal Income Tax (PIT) Act, mandates all taxable persons to file tax returns of income for every tax year to the relevant tax authority, where the taxable person resides, without notice or demand and within 90 days from the commencement of every year of assessment.

Failure by any taxable person to file appropriately and comply with the provisions of this Act, on or before 31st March, 2022, is a contravention of the provisions of Sections 94, 95 and 96 of the Personal Income Tax Act (supra) and such defaulters shall be liable on conviction to all applicable penalties as provided in the law.

The Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KW-IRS) enjoins taxpayers to file their individual annual tax returns, using the prescribed form for Returns of Income and Claim for Allowances and Reliefs (‘Form A’), obtainable at any KW-IRS offices across the State or fill and submit online, through KW-IRS Self Service Portal via selfservice.kwirs.com.
