FIRS shuts more tax-defaulting companies

The Federal Inland Revenue Service on Thursday continued its crackdown on tax-defaulting companies, sealing off their premises in Lagos and Abuja.

In Lagos, the team led by Umar Bukar Gana sealed off Mayssa International Limited, situated at 202, Etim Inyang Crescent, Victoria Island, Lagos, over a tax debt of N133.8 million.

The Managing Director, who simply identified himself as Robert, told the team that while the company owes, the debt is not on the scale the FIRS claimed.

Robert added that the organisation was making efforts to pay what it owes, an assurance that did not impress the team, which shut down its premises.

The team also shut Modesty Properties Limited, situated at 255, Muri Okunola Street, Victoria Island for a tax liability of N30.7 million.

The exercise also affected Joza Global Logistics Limited, situated at 8, Ribadu Road Ikoyi, which was shut for owing N62.4 million.

In Abuja, the FIRS team leader, Ruth Mandeun, ordered the sealing of the premises of Hakimco Automobiles Limited at the city’s Central Business District.

The company is indebted to the tune of N335,902.

The manager claimed to have paid the debt, but when given 30 minutes to produce evidence of payment, he disappeared and the company was shut.
