FIRS Introduces USSD Code for Tax Payment in Nigeria

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has launched a USSD code, *829#, to enhance the ease of doing business and improve taxpayer satisfaction in Nigeria.

This initiative allows Nigerians to access various tax services directly from their mobile phones, without needing internet access .With this code, taxpayers can retrieve their Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), verify their Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC), access information on tax types and rates, locate the nearest FIRS office, and get answers to general tax-related queries.

Additionally, FIRS introduced the Customer Centricity Guide, a booklet outlining policies and procedures to ensure respectful, professional, and efficient service.

This move reinforces the agency’s commitment to treating taxpayers as partners in nation-building. Nigeria is now the sixth African country to adopt a USSD platform for tax payment simplification, positioning itself at the forefront of digital tax administration on the continent.
