“It is aimed at helping companies that are mandated by law to file their tax returns by the end of the month meet up with the deadline.”

Adedeji said the coordinating directors of Large Taxpayers Group, Government and Medium Taxpayers Group, as well as Emerging Taxpayers Group had conveyed the decision of the management to all staff in the tax offices.

Adedeji added: “The month of June marks the peak of the annual Companies Income Tax (CIT) filling season.

“Many taxpayers which financial year ends December 31, are expected to file their tax returns by June 30.”
