Kaduna Govt Threatens To Seal Off Banks For Refusing To Pay Mast, Signage Fees by Nobody: 10:08pm On May 18, 2017 |
The Kaduna State Internal
Revenue Service (KDIRS)
has threatened to seal all
banks operating in the
state which failed to pay
its communication mast and Signage fees as required
by law. Legal Adviser to KDIRS Francis
Kozah told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna on
Thursday that the defaulting
banks were given two weeks to
pay or be sealed. Kozah explained that the
Kaduna State Tax Codification
and Consolidation Law 2016
provided that all bank branches
operating in the state with
communication mast and synergy were to pay certain
fees. He, however, said that with the
exception of UBA, most of the
banks have failed to pay,
particularly for 2016 and 2017. “We have served them demand
notices, Kaduna State Urban
Planning and Development
Agency equally served them,
asking them to come and settle
their liabilities but they have failed to do so. “At the moment, we have
finished preparing our
documents and we will take
them to court in the next two
weeks. “We will seek for an order of
the court to seal off all
defaulting banks in the state,
“he said. Kozah advised the banks, to in
their own interest, settle the
liabilities to avoid
embarrassment. He also said that 32 other
people would soon be charged
to court for tax evasion. He advised taxpayers to pay
their taxes, stressing that the
board would prosecute any
company or individual that failed
to do so. NAN recalls that KADIRS had on
Tuesday dragged 23 people to
a Kaduna Magistrates’ Court
for alleged failure to pay their
Personal Income Tax from 2013
to 2015. (NAN) |
