The Chairman, Anambra State Internal Revenue Service, Dr. David Nzekwu has restated the commitment of the agency towards prosecuting state government’s impersonators in tax enforcement across the state.

 

Dr. Nzekwu stated this while speaking with the press recently in Awka on the activities of illegal revenue collectors in the state.

 

The state Internal Revenue Service Boss who frowned at illegal activities of some miscreants who pose as government officials in some strategic places in the state to defraud innocent citizens of their hard earned money, warned that anyone caught in the act henceforth, will not go unpunished.

 

He disclosed that the agency’s enforcement team will now be moving round the state to arrest persons indulging in such criminal act, saying that the obligation of the state Internal Revenue Service is to enforce Anambra state taxation laws.

 

Correspondent Emmanuel Okonkwo reports that Dr. Nzekwu reminded Ndi Anambra that it is only authorized officials of Internal Revenue Service that are allowed to enforce taxation in the state.

 

He stated that any payment should be made directly to the state’s purse, saying that people can verify the authenticity of their letter of authorization by scanning it with QR scanner.
