Customs Generates N26.3bn At Tin-can Port by Anasko(m): 2:29pm On Dec 21, 2015 |
The Tin-Can Island Port (TCIP) Command of the
Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on Monday said it
generated N26.3 billion in November, up from
N24.7 billion generated in October.
The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the
Command, Mr Chris Osunkwo, told the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Osunkwo in his breakdown said that the
command generated N15.15 billion from import
duty and fees, and N5.4 billion from five per cent
Value Added Tax (VAT).
He said the Federation Account levies consisting
of charges on wheat flour, rice, cigar and wheat
grain fetched the command the sum of N2.1
billion.
Osunkwo said N3.5 billion paid into the Non-
Federation Account by the command was
collected from levies on sugar, Iron,
Comprehensive Import Supervision Scheme (CISS)
and ECOWAS Trade Liberalisation Scheme (ETLS).
“In October, we made approximately N24.7 billion,
while we made N26.3 billion in November.
“A lot of factors are responsible for the increase,
particularly the warning by the Area controller of
the command, Comptroller Zakari Jibrin, that we
must collect every kobo for government.
“The level of compliance is gradually improving
because we have just celebrated the second
anniversary of PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment
Report)
“PAAR just clocked two on Dec. 1 and among the
things PAAR is here to achieve is to make the
trading public become more compliant,’’ Osunkwo
said.
He said that honest declaration reduced the time
in doing business, adding that the level of
compliance by importers and exporters had
increased.
Osunkwo commended the Comptroller-General of
Customs, Retired. Col. Hameed Ali, for “taking the
service to the next level’’.
He said the comptroller-general was working
tirelessly in making sure that the service would be
the pride of the nation. (NAN) http://leadership.ng/news/485252/customs-generates-n26-3bn-tin-can-port 1 Like |
