Tax Law: Ikeja Electric threatens customers with service disruption over TIN, NIN
Electricity distribution company, Ikeja Electric, has threatened to suspend power supply to customers whose invoices do not contain the Tax Identification Number, CAC Registration Number or National Identification Number.
“In line with the provisions of the Act, any invoice issued without this information is considered invalid,” said Ikeja Electric. “Consequently, failure to provide the required details may prevent us from generating your electricity bill and could lead to the suspension of service after the stated deadline.”
The energy firm stated this in a public notice on Wednesday and gave customers until February 20 to comply with the directive.
“The Nigeria Tax Act (2025), which came into effect on January 1, 2026, mandates that all invoices must contain at least one of the following identification details: Tax Identification Number (TIN), CAC Registration Number, National Identification Number (NIN).
“To enable us to comply with this statutory requirement and reflect the information on your January 2026 and subsequent bills, we kindly request that you provide any one of the above details by completing the form below. Please note that the deadline for submission is 20th February, 2026,” the company explained.
