Anambra State Internal Revenue Service says it is committed to
fighting illegal taxation in the State.

The Chairman of the Agency, Dr. David Nzekwu, gave the assurance in
his office while speaking to newsmen.

According to him the revenue service has been having challenges of
managing people who set up revenue collection as a private business in
the State.

On the issue of tax payment, Dr. Nzekwu, said that the revenue service
under his watch has adopted the use of digital demand notice and
digital receipts system in order to help in the digitization of
payment into government coffers.

He added that the issuance of digital receipt which has QR code is to
enable people verify the authenticity of the receipt.

The revenue Chairman said the adoption is paramount to preventing the
issuance of unauthorized demand notices to people who pay to the wrong
accounts instead of government account.

Dr Nzekwu encouraged tax payers to always pay as at when due, to avoid
penalties.
