The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is gearing up to host its highly anticipated 2025 Tax Clinic, a flagship initiative dedicated to enhancing tax awareness and compliance among small businesses, startups, and operators in Nigeria’s informal sector.
Organized by the Emerging Taxpayers’ Group (ETG), this two-day event will take place on Tuesday, July 15, and Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at Marcellina’s Place, located beside the Radisson Blu Hotel in Ikeja GRA, Lagos. The clinic will run daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Under the theme “Tax Clinic for Tax Clarity,” the event aims to simplify complex tax processes and provide practical, hands-on support to new and prospective taxpayers. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in expert presentations, panel discussions, interactive service desks, and live Q&A sessions covering essential topics such as tax filing, business registration, and dispute resolution.
Dr. Zacch Adedeji, Executive Chairman of FIRS, emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating:
“This Tax Clinic demonstrates our dedication to fostering voluntary compliance by bringing tax education directly to the people. It plays a vital role in building trust, transparency, and inclusiveness within Nigeria’s tax system.”
Participants will also gain access to representatives from key institutions including the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), Joint Tax Board (JTB), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Tax Appeal Tribunal (TAT), National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), and professional bodies such as CITN, ICAN, ANAN, NBA, and NMA.
In addition to tax services, the Nigerian Medical Association will provide free basic medical screenings on-site. The first 300 in-person registrants will receive complimentary branded gifts.
This event is open to all, especially business owners, self-employed individuals, trade groups, and professionals. For those unable to attend physically, a live stream will be available to join virtually.
