FIRS Sues Hotel La Don Ltd Over N6.8 Million Tax

The Federal Inland
Revenue Service (FIRS) has sued Hotel La Don Limited for failing to pay Company Income Tax (CIT), Education Tax (ET) and Value Added Tax (VAT) of N6,757,733.24 million.
The FIRS filed a notice against the respondent in default to pay N1,514,531 million for CIT, N302,906 for ET and N4,940,296 million for VAT.
The total of N6,757,733.24 million owed by the respondent was for 2010 to 2013 year of assessment.
The Acting Chairman of the Tax Appeal Tribunal (TAT), Mr Nnamdi Ibegbu, in Abuja, recently however, adjourned the case until January 15, 2015 for continuation of hearing.
Counsel to the respondent was not in court.
Earlier, Counsel to the Appellant, Mrs Najaatu Bashir,  had complained about the respondent, saying, “this company has been giving us problems’’, and demanded to file a motion for judgment.
Ibegbu then ordered that fresh hearing notice be issued and served to the respondent first.
