The Interswitch Group has reaffirmed its preexisting partnership with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to enable taxpayers file all naira denominated tax returns through its robust and government-approved payment gateway.
The Interswitch payment gateway was deployed on FIRS’s new Tax Administration Solution (TaxPro-Max) e-filling platform recently and registration on TaxProMax is mandatory.
A statement from the organisation explained that taxpayers yet to get their user credentials had been advised to register online at https://taxpromax.firs.gov.ng/ or visit the nearest FIRS tax office to be onboarded immediately.
Commenting on the consolidation of the partnership with the FIRS, Interswitch Group’s Divisional CEO for Industry Ecosystem Platforms, Chinyere Don-Okhuofu, said the company was committed to supporting the FIRS to deepen effective tax collection, which is critical to national economic prosperity through its robust digital payment platform.
She said, “In furtherance of our commitment to support the federal government in driving efficient and accountable revenue collection across all touch points, we are delighted to consolidate our existing partnership with the Federal Inland Revenue Service in delivering seamless payment collections and reporting to complement the improved TaxProMax platform.
“The continued partnership between Interswitch and the FIRS, which dates back as far as 2005 when Interswitch pioneered electronic tax collections for the federal government is an attestation of our commitment to delivering robust and efficient payment solutions and a confirmation of the agency’s trust in our solutions.”
She added: “FIRS has modernised its tax administration and collection processes. We believe that the ease accompanied by the new platform will enhance tax compliance.
“In addition, leveraging proven payment solutions such as Interswitch’s makes the platform consistent with global standards. We therefore encouraged taxpayers to pay all their naira-dominated tax returns through the Interswitch portal.”
Don-Okhuofu stressed the need to strengthen the digital payment landscape through innovative payment solutions such as TaxPro-Max to drive the much-needed transformation in the Nigerian economy.
