For your information, to all those referring to FIRS.


We now have FCT IRS. It deals with all this matters FIRS have handed over such matters to them.

On point.

Just wanted to know, have you had any successful dealings with the FCT IRS? And do you think for taxes paid to FIRS, FCT IRS can process requests relating to such?

So why did they sack you?

How that one take concern u?

erico2k2:

Since U r in the know let me ask, Do you have one tax rate in 9ja? is there a specified wage range or a tax code for different people of family size?I have never worked in 9ja so I truly don't know.

Unfortunately it is not so in practice, we have the PITA and the CITA which stipulates how personal income tax and company income tax should be deducted. but some states are very poor in driving compliance only Lagos and maybe Abuja and Porthacourt can boast of little compliance. Other states just go to Abuja for sharing money.
There are allowances in the law for family size and dependent relations, capital allowances, allowable expenses etc. please use a consultant the tax man is not your friend ooooo!!!!!

TO all those quoting me and saying their opinions i wish to refer you to Okezie ikpeazu case the current abia state governor accused of tax fraud. it was shown that his taxes were deducted at source but not remitted as at when due, ikpeazu was absolved of liability by the court of appeal. though the case is at the supreme court now ikpeazu will likely walk.

Many people come here to air funny opinions this is naija after reporting and the man pays up the tax what will happen to you? aby u think u will be protected here?
Brother i know its painful but they dont hold your destiny, face the future cus its brighter

Hi guys...can you throw more light on the Tax Identification Number (TIN)? I have the TIN card with my Tax ID number on it. The card has a micro-chip on it. Can this TIN card be substituted for the Tax Clearance Certificate? Thanks All.

Yes the card is same as your tax clearance certificate in Lagos/Ogun State. Not sure of other states. You can use the information on the card {tax number} to spool out your tax information from the RTAs, but this is usually updated annually.

dnawah:
how do i get the e card?

The e-tax card is usually done for companies in batches by the State Internal Revenue office. Request it from your employer's Personnel/HR department.

Why should he move on? He needs to ensure that he gets credit for the taxes he paid. This might come back to hunt him in the nearest future. We should endeavor to do what is right . @ OP, if you need me to help you take up the issue at no cost, you can get across.

LOL.

LOL.

OP, I'm not sure if you referring to only tax or other employee related deductions such as pension and NHF.

For TAX, it depends on the state you are tax resident. If you are in Lagos {or Ogun, portharcourt, abuja} you should have a tax clearance card/certificate {TCC}. If you are in Lagos its a card that displays a unique tax ID which you can use to verify {online} taxes remitted to the Lagos State tax authority.

I understand this TCC is usually difficult to get by most companies, however all companies are required to file employee tax return every year. Ask your company to produce the cover letter used in filing while they also show you the Form H1 with your name on it. Because the firm H1 is a schedule of all employee earnings and taxes it may be difficult to show you... But other employee information can be shaded.

In the event where any of the above is unavailable... You can whistle blow to the relevant authority. However look at the cost-benefit before doing this.

Any idea the link where TCC can be verified??
