No, we aren’t really here to talk about that other three-letter word that ends with x, and had an infamous song (a lot of older folks will understand 😉)… Instead, we are going to talk about… TAX! As unpleasant as the subject of taxation is to all of us, we can’t avoid it… Well, at least not legally! Hehe
The Gist – Recent Changes to Tax Remittance Requirements in Lagos, Nigeria
Up until very recently, all that was needed for an employer in Lagos State to process taxes at the end of each month was just the company tax ID. This is no longer the case, as the Lagos State Internal Revenue Services (LIRS) recently announced that you will now need at the minimum, either an employee Tax ID or BVN or NIN to remit your E-taxes.
