Tax agency moves to ease filing pressure ahead of June deadline while helping businesses transition to its new digital tax platform….
The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has announced that its offices nationwide will now operate on Saturdays as the agency intensifies efforts to support taxpayers transitioning to its newly launched digital tax platform, Rev360.
The move comes ahead of the high-volume June tax filing season, a period traditionally marked by increased compliance activities from companies and business operators across the country.
In a statement signed by the Executive Chairman of the NRS, Zacch Adedeji, and published on the agency’s official X account on Thursday, the tax authority said the extended service window is designed to provide additional support to taxpayers navigating the new platform while also reducing filing pressure during the peak compliance period.
Under the new arrangement, all Emerging, Medium, Large, and Government Business Offices nationwide will remain open on Saturdays from May 8 through June 27, 2026.
The offices will operate between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
According to the NRS, the decision forms part of a broader customer support strategy tied to the implementation of Rev360 Phase I, the agency’s next-generation tax administration system currently being rolled out for Medium and Emerging taxpayer segments.
“The Nigeria Revenue Service hereby informs the general public, particularly taxpayers, that all Emerging, Medium, Large, and Government Business Offices nationwide will be open on Saturdays from 8 May to 27 June, 2026,” the statement read.
The agency explained that the additional operational hours are intended to help taxpayers complete filings, resolve pending tax issues, receive technical guidance, and better understand the compliance procedures associated with the new digital system.
Officials say the initiative is expected to improve accessibility to tax services while ensuring smoother compliance during the Companies Income Tax filing cycle in June.
The announcement follows the official launch of Rev360 on April 30, marking a major milestone in the NRS’s transition toward what it describes as “Tax Administration 3.0.”
Rev360 is designed to modernize Nigeria’s tax administration architecture through a more integrated, automated, and transparent system capable of simplifying tax processes for both businesses and individual taxpayers.
According to the agency, the platform builds on earlier digital reforms introduced in recent years and is expected to significantly improve efficiency, data management, compliance monitoring, and taxpayer experience.
The NRS said Rev360 reflects its broader commitment to innovation-driven tax administration and improved public service delivery.
Tax officials are now encouraging taxpayers to take advantage of the extended Saturday operations to address unresolved compliance issues, seek clarification on filing procedures, and familiarize themselves with the new system before the peak filing deadline.
Industry observers say the additional service window could help reduce congestion at tax offices and minimize last-minute filing challenges often experienced during the annual tax season.
The latest move also aligns with the Federal Government’s aggressive revenue mobilization agenda as authorities intensify efforts to grow non-oil revenue sources and strengthen fiscal sustainability.
For 2026, the NRS has set an ambitious revenue target of N40.7 trillion, representing a 44 percent increase from the N28.29 trillion generated in 2025.
The target also marks a dramatic rise compared to the N6.4 trillion collected in 2021, highlighting the government’s increasing reliance on tax reforms, compliance expansion, and digital administration to drive revenue growth.
Analysts believe the successful implementation of Rev360, combined with improved taxpayer engagement and extended support services, could play a significant role in helping the agency meet its record revenue target.
As the June filing season approaches, attention is now turning to how effectively businesses and taxpayers adapt to the new system and whether Rev360 can deliver the efficiency gains and transparency the government is counting on.
