KADIRS Warns Residents Against Fake Revenue Collectors, Introduces E-Demand Notice As Sole Payment Authorization
The Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS) has cautioned taxpayers and residents of Kaduna State against making revenue payments without first obtaining an official E-Demand Notice (Pay Advice), warning that fraudsters may exploit outdated payment processes to defraud the public.
In a public announcement issued on Thursday, KADIRS said the move forms part of its ongoing efforts to automate revenue collection and enhance transparency across the state.
The agency disclosed that manual demand notices previously used for Local Government revenue collection have been phased out and are no longer recognized.
According to KADIRS, the E-Demand Notice (Pay Advice) has officially replaced the former Local Government Harmonized Demand Notice and is now the only valid document for on-the-spot taxpayer assessment through the state's Central Billing System.
The Service urged residents to reject all manual demand notices and insist on receiving an E-Demand Notice before making any payment.
KADIRS explained that each E-Demand Notice contains unique security features that enable taxpayers to make payments directly into designated Local Government revenue accounts through approved channels. These include bank branches via PayDirect, Quickteller Pay Agents, Quickteller Online, and Point of Sale (POS) terminals operated by authorized KADIRS revenue agents.
The agency emphasized that taxpayers should ensure payments are made only through the approved channels to avoid falling victim to fraudulent revenue collectors.
KADIRS reaffirmed its commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and efficient revenue administration in Kaduna State and thanked residents for their continued cooperation and support.
For enquiries and further information, taxpayers can contact KADIRS through its official email addresses, website, WhatsApp platform, or customer service telephone lines.
The statement was signed by Zakari Jamilu Muhammad, Head of Corporate Communication, Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service.
