If you're earning salary (PAYE already deducted) and also running a business in Rivers State, you still need to file Personal Income Tax (PIT) — but you won’t pay tax twice.

If you’re earning salary (PAYE already deducted) and also running a business in Rivers State, you still need to file Personal Income Tax (PIT) — but you won’t pay tax twice. Instead, you declare all your income together, and any tax already deducted from salary is credited to you.
Here is the clear explanation:
🧾 Your Situation
You have two sources of income:
Salary (PAYE deducted by employer)
Business income (your own business)
Under Nigeria’s Personal Income Tax Act, all sources of income must be declared together annually. Your employer deducts tax using PAYE, but you still file annual returns showing:
Salary income
Business income
Other income (if any)
✅ What You Should Do (Step-by-Step — Rivers State)
Step 1: Get Rivers State Tax ID (RIVTIN)
You must have RIVTIN to file tax in Rivers State.
You can register through Rivers State tax portal (RIVTaMIS).
Step 2: Prepare Your Income Details
You’ll need:
Salary (Annual total)
PAYE deducted (from payslip)
Business profit (not revenue)
Business expenses
Step 3: Combine Your Income
Example:
Salary per year = ₦3,000,000
PAYE deducted = ₦250,000
Business profit = ₦1,000,000
Total income = ₦4,000,000
Tax is calculated on ₦4,000,000, then ₦250,000 already deducted is subtracted.
You only pay balance (if any).
📅 When to File
Annual PIT filing deadline: March 31 every year
You must file even if PAYE already deducted
⚠️ Very Important (Many People Don’t Know This)
If you only rely on PAYE and don’t declare business income, you may:
Get penalty later
Be denied Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC)
Have issues with contracts / loans / investments
🧠 Simple Rule
Salary only → Employer handles PAYE
Business only → You file yourself
Salary + Business → You must file annual PIT
Where to File (Rivers State)
You can file:
Online (RIVTaMIS portal)
Or visit Rivers State Internal Revenue Service office

Here’s a clear, beginner‑friendly explanation of how personal income tax works for different kinds of people in Nigeria — including Abuja (Federal Capital Territory) and Lagos — and how to file it
1) How Personal Income Tax Works in Nigeria
Personal Income Tax (PIT) is imposed on the income of individuals who earn money from work, business, rentals, investments, etc
This tax is mostly administered by the State Internal Revenue Service (SIRS) where you live — e.g., Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) for Lagos, and FCT Internal Revenue Service for Abuja.
The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) only handles some specific categories (e.g., military personnel, police, foreign service officers, and certain Abuja residents
There are two main ways PIT is collected:
• PAYE (Pay‑As‑You‑Earn) — for employees through salary deductions; the employer deducts it monthly. �
• Direct Assessment / Self‑Assessment — for self‑employed persons or individuals with non‑employment income; you declare your income and pay yourself.
LIRS – Lagos Internal Revenue Service
2) Housewife or Individual with No Work and No Income
Do you have to file tax?
If you earn no income at all, you do not owe income tax. Tax is on income received.
However, modern tax laws (like the 2026 changes) encourage even people with no income to file a “nil” return — especially if you own a Tax Identification Number (TIN) — so that authorities have records and don’t mistakenly assume gifts or allowances are taxable income.
How to file if you want to be compliant anyway
Get a TIN (if you don’t already have one) with your State IRS (LIRS if Lagos).
Go to the State’s tax portal (e.g., eTax for LIRS).
Choose “Personal Income Tax Return” and submit a nil or zero‑income declaration.
Submit by the deadlines (often March 31 each year).
3) Students (18+ and Not Working / Under Parents’ Care)
When do you file?
If you have no taxable income, you don’t owe tax.
However, like the housewife situation above, you can file a nil return to have an official tax record — especially important if you later start earning (salary, freelance work, online income, etc.).
How to file if you earn some income
If you start earning (even part‑time or online income), you must:
Register for a TIN.
File a personal income tax return (Direct Assessment) to declare income earned and pay any tax due.
Do this annually by the state’s filing deadline.
4) People Living in Abuja — Filing Personal & Company Income Tax
Personal Income Tax (Abuja Residents)
Abuja residents (FCT) are generally taxed by the FCT Internal Revenue Service.
If you earn income (salary, business income, rent, investment income):
Register with FCT IRS and get a TIN.
Choose the filing type:
PAYE (your employer deducts and remits for you).
Direct Assessment (for non‑employment income).
Submit your annual personal tax return digitally or at an IRS office.
Pay any tax due.
Company Income Tax (for Businesses in Abuja or Anywhere in Nigeria)
Company income tax is separate from personal income tax and is administered by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), not state revenue services.
Companies (limited liability companies) must:
Register for a Corporate TIN with FIRS.
File Company Income Tax Returns annually (usually within 6 months of the end of their financial year).
Pay tax on profits after allowable deductions.
5) Practical Steps to File Tax in Lagos or Abuja
Personal Income Tax (General Steps)
Get a Tax Identification Number (TIN) with the appropriate IRS.
Log into your State’s tax portal (e.g., LIRS eTax for Lagos).
Complete the annual income tax return form — even if zero income.
Upload required documents (if any).
Submit and pay any tax due by the deadline (often March 31)
Key Notes
If you earn below the taxable threshold or have no income, you won’t pay tax but can still file a nil return for compliance
Employers deduct and remit tax for employees under PAYE, but employees must still file annual returns in many states.

If you’re a driver using a hire-purchase vehicle, your Personal Income Tax (PIT) is based only on your own income, not the vehicle owner’s money.
Here’s how it works clearly:
🚗 Hire-Purchase Driver — Do You Pay Tax on Owner’s Money?
No.
You only pay tax on your profit, not the total money you generate.
Example
Let’s say in a month:
You make from driving = ₦400,000
You pay vehicle owner (hire purchase) = ₦250,000
Fuel + maintenance = ₦80,000
Your taxable income = ₦400,000 − ₦250,000 − ₦80,000 = ₦70,000
You pay tax on ₦70,000 only, not ₦400,000.
This is allowed under the Personal Income Tax Act Nigeria — you are taxed on net income, not gross income.
📋 How To File Your Tax as a Driver (Step-by-Step)
Since you’re self-employed, follow this:
Step 1: Get Your Tax ID (TIN)
Register with your State Internal Revenue Service
Example:
Rivers State → Rivers State Internal Revenue Service

Yes — you should still file your tax return for 2025, even if you only worked 4 months and earned less than ₦300,000.
Here’s why:
1. Filing Tax Is Different From Paying Tax
Under Nigeria’s Personal Income Tax Act (Nigeria), every taxable adult is expected to file an annual tax return, even if:
Your income is very small
You worked for only part of the year
You ended up owing zero tax
So in your case:
Income ≈ ₦300,000
After reliefs, your tax payable will likely be ₦0
But you still need to file (called Nil Return or Zero Tax Filing)

Here’s a clear, practical guide to filing your personal income tax in Oyo State Internal Revenue Service (Oyo State, Nigeria) — including deadlines, responsibilities, and step‑by‑step instructions so that you can do it correctly and avoid mistakes.
📅 1. Tax Filing Deadlines You Must Know
🧾 A. Employer Filing (PAYE Returns)
If you are an employer, the annual return showing all salaries and tax deducted **must be filed by **🗓 January 31 each year for the preceding year’s income. This is backed by the Personal Income Tax Act and current Oyo revenue practical
📑 B. Individual Self‑Employed or Direct Assessment
For self‑employed individuals (Direct Assessment) or individuals responsible for their own filing, many states — including Oyo — follow the federal filing window, which is generally within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year (December 31) — i.e., by March 31. This aligns with national practice and similar state guidance
👉 For most people in Oyo State, the practical deadline for filing personal income tax returns is March 31 each year. (This is confirmed across states with similar rules, and Oyo State has enforced the same pattern in previous years. )
🧠 2. Who Must File Personal Income Tax?
You must file if you are:
An employee earning a salary/wage and resident in Oyo State. Your employer usually handles tax deduction and remittance but you still must ensure the declaration process is done.
Self‑employed (e.g., trader, consultant, freelancer, small business owner).
A casual worker, temporary contract worker, or anyone earning taxable income.
IMPORTANT: Tax applies to all income — salary, business profits, allowances — after allowable reliefs and exemptions.
🧾 3. How to File (Step‑by‑Step)
✔️ A. If You Are Employed (PAYE)
At the start of the year, file your Annual Income Declaration with OYIRS (your nearest tax office).
After assessment, you will get an Annual Tax Estimate showing your taxable income and deductions.
Give the estimate to your employer. Your employer then deducts PAYE each month and remits it to the Internal Revenue Service by the 10th of the following month — e.g., January tax by February 10.
Your employer should file the Annual Return by January 31.
Tip: Confirm with your employer that they have filed the annual returns and remitted the tax on your behalf.
✔️ B. If You Are Self‑Employed (Direct Assessment)
Register with OYIRS and obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) if you haven’t already.
Complete your Annual Tax Return form with details of your income and allowable deductions.
Submit the return at your nearest OYIRS office or via the OYIRS Self‑Service portal.
You will receive an Assessment Notice stating how much you owe.
Pay the assessed tax through approved banks or online channels, then collect your Revenue Receipt
Keep all supporting documents (bank statements, receipts, invoices) in case of review.
👉 Use the OYIRS Self‑Service portal to generate payment codes, check payment status, and even access your tax profile online.
❌ 4. Common Filing Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake
How to Avoid
Missing the deadline
Note the deadlines (Jan 31 for employers; March 31 for Direct Assessment)
Incorrect income figures
Add all income sources: salary, side gigs, business profits
Forgetting deductions
Include lawful reliefs like pension, NPF, NHF
No TIN or incomplete registration
Register early with OYIRS
💡 5. Additional Tips
‑ Keep Records: Maintain clear proof of income, expenses, and payments.
‑ Confirm Remittances: If employed, check that your employer actually remits monthly PAYE.
‑ Get Help: If this is your first time, consider going directly to your nearest OYIRS office for guided assistance.
📌 Summary:
🗓 Employers file by January 31 (annual return).
🗓 Individuals (Direct Assessment) usually file by March 31 for the previous year with OYIRS.
Online options exist through OYIRS self‑service, but office support can help reduce errors.
Accurate income logs and correct TIN registration are essential.
If you want, I can provide specific forms and downloadable links for the Oyo State tax filing process or walk you through completing each section of the return step‑by‑step.

If you’re earning salary (PAYE already deducted) and also running a business in Rivers State, you still need to file Personal Income Tax (PIT) — but you won’t pay tax twice. Instead, you declare all your income together, and any tax already deducted from salary is credited to you.
Here is the clear explanation:
🧾 Your Situation
You have two sources of income:
Salary (PAYE deducted by employer)
Business income (your own business)
Under Nigeria’s Personal Income Tax Act, all sources of income must be declared together annually. Your employer deducts tax using PAYE, but you still file annual returns showing:
Salary income
Business income
Other income (if any)
✅ What You Should Do (Step-by-Step — Rivers State)
Step 1: Get Rivers State Tax ID (RIVTIN)

Salary per year = ₦3,000,000
PAYE deducted = ₦250,000
Business profit = ₦1,000,000
Total income = ₦4,000,000
Tax is calculated on ₦4,000,000, then ₦250,000 already deducted is subtracted.
You only pay balance (if any).

Here’s a clear, beginner‑friendly explanation of how personal income tax works for different kinds of people in Nigeria — including Abuja (Federal Capital Territory) and Lagos — and how to file it
1) How Personal Income Tax Works in Nigeria
Personal Income Tax (PIT) is imposed on the income of individuals who earn money from work, business, rentals, investments, etc
This tax is mostly administered by the State Internal Revenue Service (SIRS) where you live — e.g., Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) for Lagos, and FCT Internal Revenue Service for Abuja.

• Direct Assessment / Self‑Assessment — for self‑employed persons or individuals with non‑employment income; you declare your income and pay yourself.
LIRS – Lagos Internal Revenue Service
2) Housewife or Individual with No Work and No Income
Do you have to file tax?
If you earn no income at all, you do not owe income tax. Tax is on income received.
However, modern tax laws (like the 2026 changes) encourage even people with no income to file a “nil” return — especially if you own a Tax Identification Number (TIN) — so that authorities have records and don’t mistakenly assume gifts or allowances are taxable income.
How to file if you want to be compliant anyway
Get a TIN (if you don’t already have one) with your State IRS (LIRS if Lagos).
Go to the State’s tax portal (e.g., eTax for LIRS).
Choose “Personal Income Tax Return” and submit a nil or zero‑income declaration.
Submit by the deadlines (often March 31 each year).
3) Students (18+ and Not Working / Under Parents’ Care)
When do you file?
If you have no taxable income, you don’t owe tax.
However, like the housewife situation above, you can file a nil return to have an official tax record — especially important if you later start earning (salary, freelance work, online income, etc.).
How to file if you earn some income
If you start earning (even part‑time or online income), you must:
Register for a TIN.
File a personal income tax return (Direct Assessment) to declare income earned and pay any tax due.
Do this annually by the state’s filing deadline.
4) People Living in Abuja — Filing Personal & Company Income Tax
Personal Income Tax (Abuja Residents)
Abuja residents (FCT) are generally taxed by the FCT Internal Revenue Service.
If you earn income (salary, business income, rent, investment income):
Register with FCT IRS and get a TIN.
Choose the filing type:
PAYE (your employer deducts and remits for you).
Direct Assessment (for non‑employment income).
Submit your annual personal tax return digitally or at an IRS office.
Pay any tax due.
Company Income Tax (for Businesses in Abuja or Anywhere in Nigeria)
Company income tax is separate from personal income tax and is administered by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), not state revenue services.
Companies (limited liability companies) must:
Register for a Corporate TIN with FIRS.
File Company Income Tax Returns annually (usually within 6 months of the end of their financial year).
Pay tax on profits after allowable deductions.
5) Practical Steps to File Tax in Lagos or Abuja
Personal Income Tax (General Steps)
Get a Tax Identification Number (TIN) with the appropriate IRS.
Log into your State’s tax portal (e.g., LIRS eTax for Lagos).
Complete the annual income tax return form — even if zero income.
Upload required documents (if any).
Submit and pay any tax due by the deadline (often March 31)
Key Notes
If you earn below the taxable threshold or have no income, you won’t pay tax but can still file a nil return for compliance
Employers deduct and remit tax for employees under PAYE, but employees must still file annual returns in many states.

Self‑Service Portal (e‑Service / TaxSmart) — for registration, filing returns, payment, etc.
You can usually access this from the main revenue site or directly (for example via links like selfservice.deltairs.com or similar DSIRS URLs).
✅ 2. Register on the Delta Self‑Service Platform
Before you can file returns, you need to register and get a taxpayer account (S‑TIN / Payer ID):

Enter accurate details such as:
• Your full name
• Phone number
• Email address
• Date of birth
• Occupation
• Gender, marital status and other personal info
• Home address (LGA and state)

✅ 4. Filing Your Tax Returns
The exact steps will depend on the type of tax you’re filing:
📌 For Personal Income Tax (e.g., PAYE / Self‑Assessment)
From your dashboard, choose File Return or Annual Return.
Select the tax year you are reporting (e.g., previous calendar year).
Enter your income/salary figures and other required financial details.
Confirm or upload any supporting documents (e.g., payslips, income summaries).
Review the auto‑computed tax according to Delta State rules.
Submit your return.

⭐ Tips & Reminders
📌 Keep records: Always save screenshots or PDF copies of your submitted return and payment receipts.
📌 Observe deadlines: Nigeria’s tax year and filing deadlines may be set by law (e.g., within 90 days of year end, depending on type of taxpayer and reforms).

If you're a driver using a hire-purchase vehicle, your Personal Income Tax (PIT) is based only on your own income, not the vehicle owner's money.

If you’re a driver using a hire-purchase vehicle, your Personal Income Tax (PIT) is based only on your own income, not the vehicle owner’s money.
Here’s how it works clearly:
🚗 Hire-Purchase Driver — Do You Pay Tax on Owner’s Money?
No.
You only pay tax on your profit, not the total money you generate.
Example
Let’s say in a month:
You make from driving = ₦400,000
You pay vehicle owner (hire purchase) = ₦250,000
Fuel + maintenance = ₦80,000
Your taxable income = ₦400,000 − ₦250,000 − ₦80,000 = ₦70,000
You pay tax on ₦70,000 only, not ₦400,000.
This is allowed under the Personal Income Tax Act Nigeria — you are taxed on net income, not gross income.
📋 How To File Your Tax as a Driver (Step-by-Step)
Since you’re self-employed, follow this:
Step 1: Get Your Tax ID (TIN)
Register with your State Internal Revenue Service
Example:
Rivers State → Rivers State Internal Revenue Service
Or national portal → Joint Tax Board Nigeria
You will need:
Name
Phone number
Address
Occupation (Driver)
Step 2: Estimate Your Annual Income
Calculate:
Total earnings (year)
Minus hire purchase payments
Minus expenses (fuel, repairs, union dues)
This gives your taxable income
Step 3: Fill Personal Income Tax Return
You’ll submit:
Income estimate
Occupation (Commercial driver)
Expenses
Net income
Step 4: Pay Small Tax (If Income Is Low)
Nigeria gives relief called: Consolidated Relief Allowance (CRA)
So if your income is small, your tax may be:
Very small
Or sometimes ₦0
👍 Good News for Drivers
Government usually:
Uses presumptive tax for drivers
Charges small fixed yearly tax (sometimes ₦5k–₦20k depending on state)
This makes it easier for drivers.
⚠️ Important Tip
Keep simple records:
Daily income
Fuel
Owner payment
Repairs
Even writing in a small notebook is enough.
Since you’re working as a security personnel (from your profile) and also doing driving as side hustle, you may need to:
File salary tax (PAYE) from security job
File self-employed tax for driving
But don’t worry — this is normal.
See lessDo I Need to File Personal Income Tax in Nigeria If I Earned Less Than ₦300,000 in a Year?
Yes — you should still file your tax return for 2025, even if you only worked 4 months and earned less than ₦300,000. Here’s why: 1.

Yes — you should still file your tax return for 2025, even if you only worked 4 months and earned less than ₦300,000.
Here’s why:
1. Filing Tax Is Different From Paying Tax
Under Nigeria’s Personal Income Tax Act (Nigeria), every taxable adult is expected to file an annual tax return, even if:
Your income is very small
You worked for only part of the year
You ended up owing zero tax
So in your case:
Income ≈ ₦300,000
After reliefs, your tax payable will likely be ₦0
But you still need to file (called Nil Return or Zero Tax Filing)
2. Why You Should Still File
Filing protects you from:
Penalties for non-filing
Problems when applying for loans
Issues when switching jobs
Problems with tax clearance certificate (TCC)
This is important especially if you plan to:
Work in government
Do business contracts
Apply for visas
Get financial services
3. Why You Likely Won’t Pay Any Tax
Nigeria gives a Consolidated Relief Allowance:
₦200,000 OR 1% of income (whichever is higher)
PLUS 20% of your gross income
For ₦300,000 income:
Relief will wipe out your taxable income
Meaning Tax = ₦0
4. Deadline (Important)
Annual tax filing deadline in Nigeria is usually:
March 31, 2026 (for 2025 income)
So it’s good you’re asking now.
Simple Summary
Worked 4 months? → Still file
Earned less than ₦300,000? → Still file
Will you pay tax? → Probably No
Should you ignore it? → No

Here’s a clear, practical guide to filing your personal income tax in Oyo State Internal Revenue Service (Oyo State, Nigeria) — including deadlines, responsibilities, and step‑by‑step instructions so that you can do it correctly and avoid mistakes.
📅 1. Tax Filing Deadlines You Must Know
🧾 A. Employer Filing (PAYE Returns)
If you are an employer, the annual return showing all salaries and tax deducted **must be filed by **🗓 January 31 each year for the preceding year’s income. This is backed by the Personal Income Tax Act and current Oyo revenue practical
📑 B. Individual Self‑Employed or Direct Assessment
For self‑employed individuals (Direct Assessment) or individuals responsible for their own filing, many states — including Oyo — follow the federal filing window, which is generally within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year (December 31) — i.e., by March 31. This aligns with national practice and similar state guidance
👉 For most people in Oyo State, the practical deadline for filing personal income tax returns is March 31 each year. (This is confirmed across states with similar rules, and Oyo State has enforced the same pattern in previous years. )
🧠 2. Who Must File Personal Income Tax?
You must file if you are:
An employee earning a salary/wage and resident in Oyo State. Your employer usually handles tax deduction and remittance but you still must ensure the declaration process is done.
Self‑employed (e.g., trader, consultant, freelancer, small business owner).
A casual worker, temporary contract worker, or anyone earning taxable income.
IMPORTANT: Tax applies to all income — salary, business profits, allowances — after allowable reliefs and exemptions.
🧾 3. How to File (Step‑by‑Step)
✔️ A. If You Are Employed (PAYE)
At the start of the year, file your Annual Income Declaration with OYIRS (your nearest tax office).
After assessment, you will get an Annual Tax Estimate showing your taxable income and deductions.
Give the estimate to your employer. Your employer then deducts PAYE each month and remits it to the Internal Revenue Service by the 10th of the following month — e.g., January tax by February 10.
Your employer should file the Annual Return by January 31.
Tip: Confirm with your employer that they have filed the annual returns and remitted the tax on your behalf.
✔️ B. If You Are Self‑Employed (Direct Assessment)
Register with OYIRS and obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) if you haven’t already.
Complete your Annual Tax Return form with details of your income and allowable deductions.
Submit the return at your nearest OYIRS office or via the OYIRS Self‑Service portal.
You will receive an Assessment Notice stating how much you owe.
Pay the assessed tax through approved banks or online channels, then collect your Revenue Receipt
Keep all supporting documents (bank statements, receipts, invoices) in case of review.
👉 Use the OYIRS Self‑Service portal to generate payment codes, check payment status, and even access your tax profile online.
❌ 4. Common Filing Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake
How to Avoid
Missing the deadline
Note the deadlines (Jan 31 for employers; March 31 for Direct Assessment)
Incorrect income figures
Add all income sources: salary, side gigs, business profits
Forgetting deductions
Include lawful reliefs like pension, NPF, NHF
No TIN or incomplete registration
Register early with OYIRS
💡 5. Additional Tips
‑ Keep Records: Maintain clear proof of income, expenses, and payments.
‑ Confirm Remittances: If employed, check that your employer actually remits monthly PAYE.
‑ Get Help: If this is your first time, consider going directly to your nearest OYIRS office for guided assistance.
📌 Summary:
🗓 Employers file by January 31 (annual return).
🗓 Individuals (Direct Assessment) usually file by March 31 for the previous year with OYIRS.
Online options exist through OYIRS self‑service, but office support can help reduce errors.
Accurate income logs and correct TIN registration are essential.
If you want, I can provide specific forms and downloadable links for the Oyo State tax filing process or walk you through completing each section of the return step‑by‑step.
