By Chioma Obinagwam

Nigeria’s apex tax regulator, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), has asked taxpayers to pay their taxes at the tax offices closest to them.

Confiance News gathered from a recent tweet by the FIRS on its official Twitter handle.

“The FIRS wishes to call the attention of the general public and in particular its esteemed taxpayers to its subsisting policy on taxpayer segmentation and industry specific arrangements for carrying out taxing activities, including filing of tax returns.

“The FIRS, by this notice, further reiterates and directs the taxpayers to file their tax returns at the tax office nearest to their business locations or operational bases in line with its taxpayer segmentation policy,” FIRS tweeted.
