The enforcement teams of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, sealed the business premises of 10 companies that defaulted in remitting their taxes to the Federal Government.

The Coordinator of FIRS in Rivers, Edo and Delta states, Mr. Joel-Onowakpo Thomas, who is leading the enforcement drive, told reporters that “the campaign is in line with the directive of the FIRS management with clear instructions to seal up all companies that have refused to file returns and have not paid their tax liabilities.

“We want to stop the lukewarm attitude to tax. Time has changed and the attitude towards payment of taxes must change.”
