The Chief Executive Officer of MTN Group, Rob Shuter, has said the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, is “playing games” over the federal government’s demand of $2 billion tax arrears from MTN Nigeria.

In September 2018, Malami had written to MTN Nigeria, demanding $2 billion in tax arrears.

The amount was said to cover a 10-year period for import duties, value added tax (VAT) and withholding taxes on foreign imports/payments.

MTN Nigeria had denied any wrongdoing, saying it had fully settled all outstanding taxes

According to TheCable News, Shuter spoke at a conference call where MTN 2018 annual results were presented to executives and stakeholders of the company.

Reiterating the company’s stance, Shuter described the legal process as “odd,” adding that the justice minister had no right to collect tax on behalf of government.

He said MTN is a responsible company whose tax assessments are in line with the requirements of the relevant authorities.

“I think if you look at our history for complicated tax disputes they can take years, because you end up going through this tribunal, that tribunal,” Shuter said.
