IKEDC is reminding customers to submit their tax identification details by February 20, 2026, to avoid service suspension. Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IKEDC) is taking this step in compliance with the Nigeria Tax Act (2025), which requires all invoices, including electricity bills, to contain at least one approved identification detail.
The acceptable identification details include Tax Identification Number (TIN), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registration number, and National Identification Number (NIN). Customers who fail to provide the required details may be unable to receive electricity bills, and their service may be suspended after the deadline.
IKEDC has expressed appreciation for customers’ cooperation and prompt adherence to the directive. This move is part of efforts to enhance tax compliance and revenue collection in Nigeria. The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has been emphasizing the importance of TIN for all transactions, including utility bills.
IKEDC customers can submit their tax identification details through various channels, including the company’s website, mobile app, or customer service centers. The company has urged customers to take immediate action to avoid disruptions.
The Nigeria Tax Act (2025) aims to improve tax administration and compliance, with penalties for non-compliance. IKEDC is committed to supporting the government’s efforts to enhance revenue collection and tax compliance.
Customers who have already submitted their tax identification details are advised to verify that their records are up-to-date. IKEDC will not be responsible for any issues arising from incorrect or incomplete information.
This directive applies to all IKEDC customers, and it’s essential to comply to avoid any disruptions. The company is working closely with the FIRS to ensure a smooth process.
IKEDC appreciates customers’ understanding and cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to their customer service team.
