The Lagos State Government has shut down thirty-four companies that were allegedly not paying their employees’ personal income taxes and other taxes totaling N356.12 million.
During a state-wide tax law enforcement exercise on Monday, Seyi Alade, the Director of Legal Services at the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), confirmed this.
He said that some of the state’s hospitality sector operators were among the offices that were shutdown.
“These companies deduct personal income taxes from their employees’ salaries at the end of each month and charge consumption taxes on goods and services purchased by customers.
“Unfortunately, some unpatriotic firms withhold these payments, illegally converting the funds for their own use,” he said.
