LIRS Seals Filling Stations
The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) on Friday sealed seven filling stations in Lagos over tax evasion.
Mrs Afolashade Afolayan, Assistant Legal Adviser of LIRS, said that the closure was due to alleged refusal of the filling stations to pay their taxes to the state government.
A reporter who accompanied the enforcement team, reports that operators of the stations were accused of failing to pay outstanding N6.8 million tax liabilities for 2008.
Afolayan said the state government would continue to clamp down on tax defaulters.
According to her, several notices have been sent to defaulting companies to pay their outstanding taxes within the stipulated period.
Afolayan advised defaulting corporate organisations and individuals to pay all their outstanding taxes by June to avoid sealing off their companies.
Mr David Alatise, a dealer in one of the affected stations, told newsmen that the state and Federal Governments were imposing too many taxes on them.
Alatise urged the LIRS to meet with stakeholders to build a conducive tax environment in the state.
