Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS), has called on Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), and other employers of labour in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, to file their 2023 returns before Jan. 31st.<\/p>\n

The FCT-IRS Head of Corporate Communications, Mr Mustapha Sumaila, made the call in a statement released in Abuja on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Sumaila emphasized that failure to file the returns within the stipulated period would attract sanctions in accordance with the provisions of the law.<\/p>\n

According to him, the directive was in line with Section 41 of the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA), 2011 (as amended).<\/p>\n

The Act, he said, mandates all employers of labour in the FCT to file annual returns before Jan. 31st of every year, using the prescribed forms \u2013 Form G and Form H1, respectively.<\/p>\n

He also said that sections 94, 95 and 96 of the Act equally stipulate penalties for non-filing, false declaration, and late submission.<\/p>\n

He added that the Service would not hesitate to enforce the laws on defaulters.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganisations that wish to file their returns online should visit www.fctirs.gov.ng and click on create account or click on login for those who already have accounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe organisations should then proceed to any of the FCT-IRS offices to submit electronic copies of their returns,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
