EKEDC Requires Tax Details from Corporate Customers
The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has issued a directive to its corporate customers, urging them to provide their tax identification details to comply with the Nigeria Tax Act. This requirement will take effect on January 1, 2026, and mandates that all invoices, including electricity bills issued to corporate 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).
Customers are instructed to submit their information, including name, email, and phone number, via the form available at customertaxid@ekedc.com by February 28, 2026. EKEDC has warned that invoices issued without the required information will be considered invalid under the new tax act, which could lead to the suspension of electricity services.
The company has advised customers to register for a new TIN and to confirm its accuracy through the Joint Tax Board's website.
