Since you already have your CAC registered business name and TIN number, you’re actually in a good position to file. Here’s exactly what to do:
Step 1 — Go to TaxProMax
Visit taxpromax.gov.ng and create an account using your TIN number. This is FIRS’s official filing platform.
Step 2 — Prepare your figures
Before you log in, write down:
Total income your business earned this year
Total expenses you spent running the business
The difference = your profit (that’s what gets taxed)
Even if you made little or no profit, you still file. It’s called a nil return.
Step 3 — File your return
Once logged in, select “File Tax Return”, enter your income and expense figures, then submit.
Step 4 — Pay if required
If your annual profit is above ₦300,000, a small tax applies starting at 7%. You can pay directly through the platform via Remita or your bank.
Important deadline: Returns for 2025 must be filed before March 31, 2026 so now is the right time.
If you find the online process confusing, you can also walk into any nearby FIRS office with your CAC certificate, TIN, and income details. They’ll guide you through it physically.
