The Chairman, Anambra State Board of Internal Revenue Service, AIRS, Mr. Richard Madiebo has restated the present administration’s policy in paying all levies, revenue and taxes through digital process.
Mr. Madiebo who stated this during a joint press briefing of the Board, Transport Ministry, and Heads of enforcement units in the state, stated that when payment is made, it will give the payer digital and quick response that will help to verify if it is genuine or not.
He revealed the position of the present administration on how revenue should be paid and warned those who try to make cash payment to desist , adding that it is against the policy of state government.
Mr. Madiebo noted with dismay the sudden resurgence of touts in the state with claims that are not from the government, harassing Ndi Anambra stating their readiness to rid the state of these elements as earlier instructed by Governor Soludo and disclosed that the only government approved enforcement team were, Ocha Brigade, Anambra State Enforcement Team ANJET, VIO and ATMA and urged members of the public to report any extortions from any other group, promising to get to the root of the matter.
On the parts of revenue from public transports, the AIRS Boss maintained that the stipulated amounts are still the same for tricycle, shuttles, mini buses and others advising operators to report anyone who ask them to pay more than that.
Speaking, the Managing Director of Ocha Brigade, Comrade Celestine Anene recalled that the present administration inherited these sets of touts and decided to sanitize the state of bad elements noting that soon, revenue Court will be set up and anybody caught extorting money from the public will be sent to jail.
