The Board of Internal Revenue, BIR, Abia State, Thursday, sealed several business premises in Umuahia the state capital over tax default.

Some of the affected businesses include fast-food joints, Bars, and Supermarkets among others located in different parts of the state capital.

Emeruwa who explained that the indebtedness was from 2022 backwards, expressed displeasure at the nonchalance of business operators to pay tax, an attitude he said, does not support good governance. ” Some of them have been owing since 2018, some since 2019. We invited them but they refused to come. We followed due process. We went to court and obtained a court order after they ignored several invitations.”

Emeruwa said that the BIR Management led by Professor Udochukwu Ogbonna was committed to improving the Internally Generated Revenue of the state and to judiciously accounting for every revenue generated.
