EKEDC urges corporate customers to provide tax details

The Eko Electricity Distribution Company on Tuesday urged all corporate and MD electricity customers to provide tax identification details to comply with the Nigeria Tax Act.

In a statement on the company’s official account, EKEDC said, “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 instructed customers that the information, along with their name, email, and phone number, should be submitted through the form at customertax-id.ekedp.com by February 28, 2026.

EKEDC warned, “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.”

For customers who do not yet have a TIN, the company advised: “To register for a new Tax Identification Number (TIN), visit tin.jtb.gov.ng. To confirm if your TIN is correct or active.”

EKEDC concluded by appreciating the “prompt cooperation” of its customers to ensure compliance with statutory requirements.
