What is TaxPro Max?
TaxProMax is an online portal by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) that seeks to ease tax compliance procedures in Nigeria. The electronic platform allows taxpayers to register for tax, and apply for and check the validity of tax clearance certificate (TCC). Other features include filing monthly and annual tax returns, file transfer pricing returns, tax payment, track receipts, and withholding tax (WHT) credit notes. However, newly registered taxpayers and foreign companies may not have full access to all the features of TaxProMax due to the system settings. In such instances, the taxpayer can contact the relevant tax office for guidance. The relevant FIRS office is the tax office where a taxpayer should be registered for taxes. Discussing with the company’s tax consultant in Nigeria can be helpful as well.
