The Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS) on Thursday sealed the erstwhile famous but now moribund Kaduna United Nigerian Textiles Limited (UNTL) over alleged N1.2 billion tax liabilities.
This was disclosed to newsmen after the operations by Ms Aysha Ahmad, Board Secretary and legal Adviser of KADIRS.
She said that the tax liabilities were accrued for ground rent, fire service and Kaduna State Environmental Protection Agency (KEPA) among other taxes.
Ahmad said that the last time the textile communicated with KADIRS was in 2022, where a tax audit was done but there was no any positive response from the company.
Ahmad, however, said the taxes were accrued for six years.
She alleged that KADIRS had an intelligence reports that UNTL was planning to leave the state.
“We just have to collect what is ours,”she said.
Ahmad urged the residents of the state to prioritise voluntary tax compliance, describing it as a fundamental civic duty.(NAN)
