Good Morning my people.

I give God all the glory for receiving my MR this morning.

Please I am also asked to provide additional documents below;

- Updated proof of funds (a letter from the bank with your balance indicated is not sufficient)

- Payslips and tax clearance form

1. Please note I submitted a bank letter with over 3m naira for family of 3 last year. my family composition has not changed so I wonder why they said I have insufficient balance.
2. What is tax clearance form. I need your opinion on what this is and how to go about it.

I'M JUMPING UP IN THE OFFICE HERE.....

I just love updating this SS!
1.Since you submitted a bank letter...its almost sure they will ask you for an update in POF.They did not mean that you did not have insufficient balance...they want you to present a well documented statement of in your name/spouse to shouw your family saize POF.
2.I'm sure this is related to the bank letter you submitted as they need to be sure your tax payment is okay.Your company should be in better position for the tax clearance form/certificate.Better still,FIRS can help out.You just need an official documented list of your tax in recent year.

Thanks guys.. Please I need answers/opinions on how to handle the required documents. Are they saying I should provide statements of accounts? it seems they are saying bank letter isn't sufficient? Also I need help on the tax clearance form thing

Seems to me also that you did not include your pay slips as a supporting document to your letter of reference...that is why they are asking for it now.I'm sure your Payslip will also document your Tax on monthly basis.
Cheers.

Thanks Kollins.. So I should send bank statement for 6months? And is the Tax clearance form the same thing with Tax clearance certificate?

Since they did not specify the number of months....standard practice is 6 months till date....let the closing amount be equal to your family size POF...higher like 10%.
Tax clearance certificate is more of a company than an individual.Tax clearance form is for individuals so I believe that is what you should provide.Approach your company and ask for it...they should have more information for you.
Also,read through this link below to understand more...

Do they ask you to submit PCC or update any forms?
RPRF?
Cheers.

Congrats! In Nigeria taxes are collected at source. That is employers deduct ur tax and and pay directly to the government and it is reflected on ur payslip. So they should be able to see ur tax deductions as u submit ur payslip. If u want to be doubly sure just stroll into any tax office and they will explain more.

@ Abeke,

1. I want to believe they want to see your bank statement of like 6 months - 12 months and not a letter from the bank stating only your balance. To be on the safe side, get a 1 year statement for them.

2. Did you attach your payslips when you sent in your application to CIC? if no, maybe that's why they're asking. As for tax, I'm confused about that. Maybe other people can help. I think your payslip should show your tax deducted from source.

Exactly...I'm sure it will be stated on the payslip issued by the company.
Also,the company will have document showing his monthly tax details...a photocopy should also be fine.
Cheers.

Good...SS Updated.
As advised...make your bank statement extend to one year till date.
See your company's accountant that you want an evidence apart from details on payslip as evidence of your monthly tax payment.
Cheers.

Okay. Thanks... My pay slip reflects how much is being deducted from my salary as tax monthly. Are you saying the Tax clearance form means the form that is supposed to show how much is being deducted as tax monthly from my salary to correspond with my payslip?

I did not attach payslips to my initial application
