Tax Evasion: Enugu To Distrain Over 3000 Establishments by OEPHIUS(m): 7:00pm On Dec 06, 2019
..Seals banks, hotels, others


The Enugu State Internal Revenue Service, in compliance with Court Orders, on Friday, carried out distrainment of some commercial banks, hotels, schools and other properties in the state for refusal of their owners to pay withholding taxes, PAYE tax, Land Use Charge and other development levy to the state government.

Briefing newsmen shortly after the exercise, the Chairman of the agency, Mr. Emeka Odo, disclosed that over 3000 properties across the state owe the state government various degrees of taxes despite repeated reminders for them to pay.

Odo who added that the total debt to be recovered was over N2.5 billion, regretted that “the affected commercial establishments and some private institutions have refused to remit taxes they deducted, to the Enugu State Government.”

The chairman further disclosed that 37 institutions were affected in the year-end enforcement on recalcitrant tax defaulters which was carried out in the early hours of Friday.

He said that the debts included those of land use charges stressing that more of the defaulting institutions would be sealed in the coming days.

“This exercise, which is ongoing, involves the distrainment of a number of commercial establishments, banks and some private institutions.

“They have refused to remit to the state government taxes they deducted from clients, staffers and others.

“We have also appointed receiver managers over some commercial properties whose owners have refused to pay Land Use Charge to Enugu State government, despite repeated reminders.

“This exercise is pursuant to an ex-parte order from the High Court of Enugu State. It is expected that over 3000 properties will be affected by the work of the receiver managers,” Odo said.

Enugu State is in the hands of God! ##

Wicked govt

All they know is tax, tax and more tax impoverishing the already saturated populace yet no meaningful infrastructural development or human capacity building anywhere.

All roads are dilapidated, unemployment has been rising astronomically, no ease of doing business etc... I ask where do they channel all these monies to?

I am convinced and I believe that the Nigerian govt was solely created against the people and to frustrate the masses

No wahala. Increase taxation everywhere in the country. That's the faster way to get fellow Nigerians to truly demand good governance from our politicians.
You see all those developed countries where politicians can't mess up easily? It's because the citizens are sufficiently taxed and will not waste time to treat the politicians' bleep it once they see that their money is being mismanaged.

Chei, how in the first place they allowed over 3,000 establishments evading to pay their taxes?

Millions or Billions must have been collected as kick back from Tax office crews.

They refused to remit to the state government taxes deducted from their staff?

Just imagine!
Corruption has eaten so deep into the mind of over 50% of Nigerians.
They have been so used to corruption as a lifestyle.

And this is surely happening in almost every state in Nigeria.
This country has gone to the dogs a very long time ago.
May God save Nigeria.

There is no increase in taxation. These coys deduct taxes from staff but refuse to remit it to the state Government. You will understand if you want to do something that requires tax clearance and you are told that you have not been paying taxes whereas it's deducted from your salary monthly.
