That the FIRS in exercise of its powers under Section 85 (3) of the Companies Income Tax Act CAP C21 LFN 2007 (as amended) (and replicated in Section 32(3) of the Federal Inland Revenue Service Establishment Act (FIRSEA 2007) hereby invites all principal officers, especially Chairmen, Managing Directors, Chief Executive Officers, Executive and Non-Executive Directors, Chief Financial Officers and all company owners or their representatives to take advantage of a Special Window to avoid payment of penalty and interest on tax between 2013-2015. 2. That FIRS, by this Public Notice, will grant a pardon stretching back to three years (2013-2015) to ALL TAXPAYERS in default provided that such defaulting taxpayers: (a) Come forward to declare their indebtedness within the 45-day window (b) Present a payment plan on the outstanding Principal Tax Liability acceptable to the Federal Board of Inland Revenue; 3. That this Special Window will be opened for 45 days ONLY, commencing from 5th October 2016 terminating 24th November 2016; 4.
