Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zacch Adedeji, has directed the extension of tax office operations to weekends for the month of June.
The directive, according to a statement by Dare Adekanmbi, Special Adviser on Media to the FIRS chairman, is part of Adedeji’s commitment to matching the agency’s customer-centric policy with tangible action.
With the directive, tax offices are expected to open for business from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday and 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Sunday throughout the month of June.
The statement said the weekend service, which started on 14 June, will end on Sunday, 29 June “and it is aimed at helping companies who are mandated by law to file their tax returns by the end of the month meet up with the deadline.”
