MTN Nigeria Drags FIRS To Tribunal Over Taxation Of N330bn Fine by Ravon: 9:05am On Aug 05, 2019
MTN Nigeria Communications Plc has said its tax dispute with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is before the Tax Tribunal set up by FIRS Chairman, Tunde Fowler and Minister of Finance, and are awaiting a decision.

In a statement, the telco said: “Our attention has been drawn to media reports regarding the status of taxes relating to the 2015 fine imposed on MTN Nigeria Communications Plc (MTN). We acknowledge that there is a technical disagreement between MTN and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) as to how the fine should be treated for tax purposes. However, while the monies have been paid to FIRS, we have taken the disagreement to the Tax Tribunal set up by FIRS Chairman and Minister of Finance, and are awaiting a decision.”

“MTN remains fully compliant with Nigerian tax laws and will abide by the findings of the tribunal. The company is committed to meeting its fiscal responsibilities and contributing to the social and economic development of Nigeria.”


Since incorporation in 2001, MTN has invested more than N2 trillion into the economy and has paid more than N1.7 trillion in taxes, levies and other regulatory fees.

Hello

Maybe if they give us Biafra and quit being Nigerians, just maybe Igbos won't be massacred in S/A.

As it is, Nigeria is associated with doom. I see doom on the national flag. The clouds over the nation spells doom.

Ask me a country that is not working, i'll tell you it is one with a nitwitted herdsmanic Fulani tyrant under its tutelage.

See my signature.

Let the South unite against the numerically advantaged North.

No, the stupid egocentric west wants to play power sharing game with the fvcking North.

I'm watching, 2023 is just around the corner.

Stupid network
Rather than paying up and apologising to Nigerians for all your crooked acts instead you have the guts to talk nonsense. Nigeria is a stupid country that's why they take our system and institutions for granted because our leaders have eaten our pride for few dollars and conspire with outsiders to steal and humiliate our country . Someday #REVOLUTION the fear most will and shall happen then we'll pay south Africans living here for their xenophobic action on our people.
