The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is the agency responsible for assessing, collecting, and accounting for tax and other revenues accruing to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Established in 1943, FIRS has undergone various reforms and restructuring to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness as a revenue-generating agency. The agency operates under the FIRS (Establishment) Act of 2007, which grants it autonomy and outlines its functions and powers.

FIRS is headquartered in Abuja and is currently led by Zaccheus Adedeji, who was appointed as the Executive Chairman in September 2023. The agency's responsibilities include formulating tax policies, ensuring compliance with tax laws, and providing taxpayer services to facilitate tax payments and improve revenue collection.

FIRS also plays a crucial role in promoting transparency and accountability in Nigeria's tax system.

These include the TaxPro Max system for online tax registration, filing, and payment, and the Integrated Stamp Duties & Levies Services for managing transfer pricing policies. The agency continues to innovate and adapt to meet the evolving needs of taxpayers and stakeholders.
