In a bid to simplify the non-tax payment process by residents and corporate entities in Lagos State, the state Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, will formally inaugurate the innovative Lagos Revenue Portal on Thursday.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Taxation and Revenue, Mr Opeyemi Ogungbo, announced it in a statement issued on Monday.
Ogungbo said, “The innovative online platform is designed to simplify how Lagos residents and corporate entities perform their civic responsibilities in the form of non-tax payments, making the entire process more efficient, convenient and secure.
“The proposed launch of the LRP is in line with the governor’s T.H.E.M.E.S+ agenda and his continuous drive to improve the quality of life for Lagosians.”
According to Ogungbo, the innovative online platform is designed to simplify how Lagos residents and corporate entities perform their civic responsibilities in the form of non-tax payments, making the entire process more efficient, convenient and secure.
“As earlier established with the e-Tax platform for all tax payments managed by the LIRS. LRP is another milestone in the administration of our governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“The LRP scheduled to be launched by Mr Governor on Thursday, August 15, 2024, represents a significant leap towards modernizing our revenue collection system.”
Meanwhile, he maintained that the advanced technology would streamline the state’s collection processes into a more friendly and accessible self-service portal for everyone in Lagos.
According to Ogungbo, the LRP aggregates all Lagos State bills and payments across ministries, departments and agencies in the state, making it a one-stop-shop for all taxpayers.
He added that the portal allows Lagosians to manage and print their bills and make payments online through multiple available channels.
Ogungbo explained that this eliminates the need for physical visits to Lagos State service stations and bank branches, saving time and reducing hassle for their taxpayers.
According to the governor’s side, the portal ensures secure and seamless payment processing, guaranteeing that transactions are both safe and efficient.
