How to Register as a Taxpayer
Registration of a Taxpayer is one essential procedure that needs to be done by an FIRS Tax office given the necessary details that must be provided by the taxpayer on demand. This registration is important because the conclusion of it enables the tax office to generate a TIN (Tax Identification Number) for the potential taxpayer.
Documentation Required.
It is required that during registration with any FIRS tax office, the taxpayer must provide the following documents;
- A Certificate of Incorporation issued by CAC and bearing an RC No.,
- Necessary documents showing the correct Business address,
- He should be able to furnish the office (ITO) with the correct Commencement date.
There is always a registration officer in every Tax Office (ITO) to attend to Taxpayer’s registration matters. Hence, it is the prerogative of this officer to do the registration for an Individual, Enterprise or a Company under the different registration modes.
However, note must be taken that Individuals and Enterprises are registered under (Individual Registration), while Companies register under (Corporate Registration) shown on the first screen of the Web portal, e.g. see below. After all this is completed, a Tax Identification Number (TIN) will be issued to the taxpayer to enable him pay his tax Liabilities at the Bank.
