The Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service on Friday, 2 August, 2024 sealed the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company over a N600m tax liability.
Speaking to newsmen after the exercise in the early hours of Friday, 2 August, 2024, the Executive Chairman of KADIRS, Jerry Adams, said the operation was an execution of a court order to restrain KAEDCO over the liability due to the state.
According to Adams, the N600m tax liability was from 2015 to 2022, when they did all the reconciliations with KAEDCO agreeing to pay a substantial amount of the liability.
The Chairman, however, lamented, “Till this moment, since last year that the liability was established, KAEDCO has not met what it committed to do.
“We are backed by the law to seal and take over their premises in order to ensure compliance, and that is what we executed this morning, “he said.
Adams called on other businesses, individuals, corporate organisations and the public to always ensure voluntary compliance in tax payments.
