The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) on Tuesday urged all corporate and Maximum Demand (MD) electricity customers to provide their tax identification details in compliance with the Nigeria Tax Act.
In a statement shared on its official account, the company said the Nigeria Tax Act, which came into effect on January 1, 2026, mandates that all invoices issued to corporate and MD customers must contain at least one valid identification detail.
According to EKEDC, the required information includes a Tax Identification Number (TIN), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registration number, or National Identification Number (NIN).
“The Nigeria Tax Act (2025), which came into effect on January 1, 2026, requires that all invoices including electricity bills issued to corporate/MD customers must contain at least one of the following identification details: Tax Identification Number (TIN), Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registration number, [or] National Identification Number (NIN),” the statement read.
The company directed customers to submit the required details, along with their name, email address, and phone number, through a designated online form on or before February 28, 2026.
EKEDC warned that invoices issued without the required identification information would be considered invalid under the Act.
“Invoices issued without this information are deemed invalid under the Tax Act. Failure to comply may prevent us from generating your electricity bills and could result in the suspension of our services after the stated deadline,” the company stated.
For customers yet to obtain a TIN, EKEDC advised them to register through the Joint Tax Board portal and verify the status of their tax identification number.
The company concluded by expressing appreciation for the “prompt cooperation” of its customers in ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.
