The statement added that to make it more convenient for the taxpayers, the Self-Service Stations have designated officers readily available to assist taxpayers with any technical difficulty or concerns that may arise.

The Service enjoins taxpayers to take advantage of the Self-Service Stations in fulfilling their tax obligations.

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) hereby notifies the taxpaying public of the introduction of “Self-Service Stations” in all the FIRS Tax Offices nationwide to support taxpayers in utilizing the TaxPro Max solution.
