As part of efforts to ensure tax compliance by residents and business owners in Kwara State, Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS), today Friday, 1st March, 2024 conducted a mobile court within some business premises in Ilorin to prosecute three recalcitrant high net worth business owners who hide under associations to pay lesser taxes than what is due.
Having exhausted all necessary measures to ensure that taxpayers remit the appropriate taxes due to the State Government without any positive results, KWIRS resorted to enforcement on the recalcitrant taxpayers in the early hours of Friday as provided under the relevant State Law.
Speaking during the legal action at their respective business premises, the magistrate pronounced that the business facilities be sealed following the evidence before the mobile court that the accused taxpayers defaulted in exercising their civic obligations.
Taxpayers are enjoined to pay their tax liabilities as and when due to avoid being caught on the wrong side of the law.
