LIRS Begins Automated Collection Of Consumption Tax For Hotels And Event Centres by BrandSpurNG: 6:47am On Feb 14, 2018 |
In line with global best practice in the use of technology and automated solutions, the Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) has introduced recently an Electronic Revenue Assurance (ERA) System for Hotels, Restaurants, Night Clubs and Event Centres in Lagos State to elicit automatic compliance with the extant Hotel Occupancy and Restaurant Consumption Tax Law of Lagos State as amended. The law imposes a 5% Consumption Tax on all expenditures made on products and services at the hospitality outlets in line with section 2 of the Hotel Occupancy and Restaurant Consumption Law of June 2009. The ERA System ensures financial accountability and efficiency for collecting Agents, accurate deduction and automatic, transparent remittance of consumption tax as well as rewards for consumers. Speaking on how the newly adopted technology works, Chairman of the LIRS, Mr Ayodele Subair, stated that the Electronic Revenue Assurance System using the Electronic Fiscal Device (EFD) is a software application/device that issues invoices and receipts to consumers bearing a unique QR code, detailing the items and/or services ordered and an embedded automation of Consumption Tax remittance in real time. To protect consumers, payments and receipts generated will be tracked and monitored to verify the authenticity of receipts issued. We hereby implore owners of restaurants, hotels, nightclubs and event centres in Lagos State to embrace and comply with this new initiative not only because of the legal consequences of its violation but also for its mutual socio-economic benefits. LIRS is determined to give back to loyal Consumption Taxpayers who request for their receipts generated by collecting Agents with a reward scheme being put in place. Reacting to the introduction of the ERA Solution to the hospitality industry, Mr Rasheed, owner of Islanders Hotels & Suites in Lagos, agreed that the device would benefit consumers while providing an easier automated accounting solution for his business. The hotelier in his statement said “we have struggled with problems of accountability in our hotel in the past with some staff of questionable character pocketing money that should be coming to the hotel for themselves. Once the ERA is installed in our hotel and with consumers requesting for their receipts through the platform, we will be able to keep an accurate account of dealings in our hotels and restaurants. More so, we will have no need to stretch our capacity in keeping records for the LIRS in order to avoid being shut down by the government for avoiding taxes since the device helps us remit Consumption Taxes automatically to the government as at when due”.

Eko no go baje. Lai Lai. How a state thinks ahead of a country beats me. In compliance with tax payment, Nigeria ranks very low on the index, how then do we think we'll develop our infrastructure? In Benin, prior to Obaseki coming on board, Na Agberos de chop the tax, if you see their chairmen, you go know wetin tax money fit do; they live like politicians.

benben1000: The worst form of poverty is the inability to pay attention. Not only are you suffering from mental poverty, you're a bigot too. LIRS is for Lagos alone and not the entire country. You're unaware of that as you're an ill-bred bigot who has nothing to show for himself but the achievements of others. 12 Likes 1 Share |

This is very bad. You can only stress on tax when the government has done its quota. Are you taxing a firm that runs on diesel? all these hotels runs on diesel. no power and they still pay their tax. is the cost of diesel taking into consideration? can they sue the government for lack of power? In a sane society these hotels and firms can sue the government for lack of power to run their businesses. businesses that government cannot create, and they are hunting down individuals who do not embezzle public funds and syphon the to a foreign account. These are individuals who invested their hard-earned money in Nigeria to create jobs and sustain the economy. why do we make life miserable for ourselves? I am not saying that they should not pay their taxes but why does it have to be one-sided? who is checkmating PHCN? Who is checking the government? People still collect salaries and annual allowances in the Federal Ministry of Water Resources. There is a minister for water in this country and the populace buy and drink germs and bacteria everyday. People dig borehole and wells because they just believe that they owe themselves these facilities. The government owes you that. there is a minister paid to provide water for Nigerians and for these hotels. Many businesses have closed up due to the recession and many investors are frustrated already. there are no jobs for the youths and things are getting worse. instead of chasing these hotels and private investors why not create businesses for us? The tax is not useful to us because they do not achieve anything from it. all the awarded contracts and bail out fund do not come from taxes. we are still borrowing, we are getting aids from the US, stolen funds are being recovered, where do they all go? imagine educated and experienced Nigerians are happy that they are paid 150k per month. With families and rents to cater to. 6 Likes |

benben1000: I read your post and I regret not supporting abortion. They said LIRS, you're crying that SS and SE own 80% of the hotels in Nigeria. You're a mistake that could have been prevented by a N50 condom. See the nonsense you're spewing? No self-respecting animal would disgrace itself the way you have done. I just hope your family don't have the misfortune of having more than one of something like you at home. 12 Likes 1 Share |
