This was disclosed by the FIRS, through its official Twitter handle.

What you should know

The tax palliative will come in form of the provision of an additional window of penalty, and interest waivers for businesses that pay up in full, the principal portion of their outstanding liabilities between now and 31st December, 2020. Such outstanding arrears could have resulted from:

  • Self assessments, or
  • Government assessments arising from desk audit, field audit or investigation.

This recent announcement is in addition to earlier measures instituted by FIRS such as:

  • Extension of monthly WHT and VAT Returns filing to end of month.
  • The option of paying in Naira at the prevailing Investors & Exporters (I & E) FOREX window rate on the day of payment. This is for taxpayers who earn their revenue in Naira and are facing challenges in sourcing for FOREX to offset their tax liabilities.

This gesture should help to resuscitate economy.
