Some companies have been shut by th
Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS
as it resumed its tax enforcement
exercise in Lagos, Abuja, Asaba and
Onitsha yesterday.
In Abuja, the FIRS team, led by
Chinazo Edeh, sealed off Urban
Shelter Limited, a property
development firm, located in the Wus
Zone 5 Area for allegedly owing N63
million in arrears of taxes
accumulated from 2008 to 2016.
Mohammed Sanni, Tax Liason Officer o
Urban Shelter, said the company has
submitted a payment plan which was
yet to be approved to FIRS. Edeh,
however, said the company must pay
at least 50 per cent of its tax
liabilities to avoid its premises
being sealed. The company was
subsequently sealed as the managers
could not make the payment.
In Lagos, the FIRS team, led by
Anita Erinne, shut the premises of
Venro Energy Limited, over a tax
debt of N29million as well as the
office of Enegas. Both firms are in
Ikoyi.
A woman, who attended to the team,
caused a mild drama, when she said
the company did not have money to
pay the N15million debt it owes.
Erinne told her to instruct staff
members to vacate their offices
within 10 minutes. The woman,
however, refused to vacate her own
office, telling FIRS officials that
they were being unfair. She
eventually agreed to leave her offic
and the company was shut.
In Asaba, FIRS sealed the premises
of Davnotch Nigeria Limited for
failure to meet its tax obligations
over four years. The team, led by
Ruth Mandeun, wielding a warrant of
distraint, ordered the staff members
to vacate the premises.
Between 2011 and 2015 Davnotch
allegedly owed N34.5million tax
arrears.
The few workers in the office made
unsuccessful attempts to contact the
managing director and top management
staff, who were absent during the
operation.

Op why include Onitsha?

Are you blind? Even the story and your source link didn't have anything to do with Onitsha.

Mods you people should correct this anomaly.
