He lamented that their actions have caused the government loss of revenue.According to Alade, the LIRS previously stepped down on enforcement to promote voluntary compliance. ‘However, certain companies and hotels chose tax evasion. Therefore, the renewed enforcement is targeted at such companies, restaurants, hotels, and event centres’.
