You can now easily get tax clearance certificate—FIRS
By Muhammadu Sabiu
The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has announced that by using its flagship taxpro max solution, taxpayers may now easily receive their Tax Clearance Certificate.
The solution, which consists of a tax administration module unveiled by the top tax authority in June 2021, provides a quick way for activities including taxpayer registration, tax return filing, tax payment, and getting a tax clearance certificate.
According to a statement released yesterday and signed by Mr. Johannes Wojuola, Special Assistant to the Executive Chairman, FIRS (Media & Communication), the taxpayer can now generate a Tax Clearance Certificate with just one click, as opposed to the two weeks it previously took to do so.
This technical advancement follows extensive technological improvements that the Service undertook in an effort to fully automate its tax administration activities.
Commenting on the development, Muhammad Namu, the Executive Chairman of the FIRS, said, “One of our objectives as a service is to build a Customer-Centric institution.
“That means an institution that has the customer at the heart of its innovations and solutions. It is for this reason that we have tuned the operations of our TaxPro Max solution to be able to deliver Tax Clearance Certificates in the shortest possible time to taxpayers.
“At the click of a button, a taxpayer will get their Tax Clearance Certificates, as long as they have no outstanding liabilities.
“This would impact in no small measure on the ease of doing business in Nigeria.”
