Introduction
Tax compliance in Nigeria has evolved rapidly—and TaxPro Max, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) e-filing platform, is at the center of it all.
But for many small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), it’s still a maze. From login problems to VAT and CIT filing confusion, Nigerian business owners have questions. Lots of them.
Here’s a clear, no-fluff guide to the top 10 questions SMEs ask about TaxPro Max, with answers you can trust.
❓ 1. What is TaxPro Max?
TaxPro Max is FIRS’s online platform for filing, paying, and managing taxes—like VAT, CIT, PAYE, and WHT. It aims to simplify tax compliance and reduce manual paperwork.
❓ 2. Is TaxPro Max mandatory for all businesses?
Yes. As long as your business is registered and has a Tax Identification Number (TIN), you’re expected to use TaxPro Max to file returns and pay taxes.
❓ 3. I’m a small business—do I still need to use it?
Yes. Even micro and small businesses must file annual returns—even if they make little to no income. FIRS expects every registered business to stay compliant.
❓ 4. What do I need to register on TaxPro Max?
You’ll need:
Your TIN
A valid email (linked to the business)
Company RC number
Your FIRS-issued login credentials or activation via the online portal
❓ 5. Can I file VAT and CIT on the platform?
Yes. TaxPro Max supports filing of:
Value Added Tax (VAT)
Company Income Tax (CIT)
Withholding Tax (WHT)
PAYE remittances
And more!
❓ 6. How do I file zero returns if I didn’t make income?
You can log in, select your return period, and file NIL returns. This is crucial to avoid penalties for non-filing—even if your business made no sales.
❓ 7. Why am I getting error messages or portal access issues?
Common issues include:
Incorrect TIN or RC number
Expired passwords
Browser compatibility problems
Delay in backend activation from FIRS
MARB can help resolve these technical issues for you.
❓ 8. What happens if I don’t use TaxPro Max?
You risk:
Penalties for late or non-filing
Business non-compliance
Trouble renewing your business license
Losing eligibility for government contracts
❓ 9. Can I correct a mistake after submitting a return?
Yes—but you’ll need to submit an amended return request. This process can be technical, so working with a tax professional (like MARB) is recommended.
❓ 10. Can someone manage my TaxPro Max profile for me?
Absolutely. Many SMEs don’t have the time or expertise to handle filing and updates. That’s where MARB Corporate steps in—with full TaxPro Max support, return filing, and compliance advisory.
Conclusion
TaxPro Max is here to stay, and as a business owner in Nigeria, understanding it is key to staying compliant, avoiding penalties, and accessing funding opportunities.
