Tax evasion: FIRS appoints Sterling Bank as recovery agent

ByNews Editor

Feb 11, 2019

The Federal Inland Revenue Service has appointed Sterling Bank Plc as a collecting agent to recover taxes from 2,933 defaulting companies.

This was disclosed in a letter signed by the Chairman, FIRS, Mr Tunde Fowler, and addressed to the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Sterling Bank, Abubakar Suleiman.

The letter, which was obtained by our correspondent, was titled, ‘Letter of substitution appointing your bank as collecting agent and notice for release of bank statement and other financial records of the following attached companies.’

In the letter, the tax agency informed the bank of the failure of 2,933 listed companies to comply with provisions of the tax laws by not paying taxes due to the FIRS.

The letter read in part, “Pursuant to my powers under Section 49 of the Companies Income Tax Cap C12 LFN 2004 as amended and Section 31 of the FIRS (Establishment) Act No. 13 of 2007, I hereby appoint your bank as a collecting agent for the full recovery of the amount displayed on the attached schedule payable to the FIRS.

“In this regard, you are required to set aside the aforesaid sum and pay same to the credit of these attached companies in full or partial amortisation of its aforesaid tax debt. This should be done prior to the execution of all or any related transactions involving these companies or any of its subsidiaries.

“I further request that the FIRS be informed of any transactions prior to execution on the accounts, especially the transfer of funds to or from offshore or local accounts of these companies or any of its subsidiaries. Only on my authority should such transactions be exited.”

The FIRS also requested the bank to forward to it, within 72 hours, the receipt of the appointment letter, detailed bank statements and financial records for the attached companies and/ or any of its subsidiaries, holding accounts with the bank.

“You are also to provide records of all principal officers related to any of these companies. The statement should cover the period from the date the accounts were opened to the date of receipt of this notice,” it stated.

The FIRS also informed the bank that failure to comply fully with the notice was an offence punishable under the various tax laws and the criminal code.

  16. Ich habe gestern in einem casino im Ausland mit 50 euro angefangen beim Roulette schwarz rot zu setzten. Habe immer 50 € gesetzt und keinmal verloren. War dann bei 300 €. Ich hatte mir vorgenommen dass wenn ich einmal verliere die Chips Wechsel und nach hause gehe. Leider habe ich dann doch 50 euro verloren und bin dann nach hause. Jetzt habe ich das Problem das ich ständig daran denken muss und ich ein Bedürfnis habe wieder ins casino zu gehen und die 50 € die ich verloren hatte zurück zu gewinnen und mehr Geld zu gewinnen. Wobei ich eigentlich auch zufrieden bin aus 50 € 250 € gemacht zu haben. Ist das normal dass man so fühlt ? Wie war das bei euch ? Im Gegensatz zum franzГ¶sischen Roulette, bei dem es lediglich eine Null beim Roulette gibt, hat ein Kessel des Amerikanischen Roulettes zwei Nullen und damit insgesamt 38 Felder. Im Kessel sind die Zahlen anders angeordnet, sodass einige Kesselspiele nicht vorhanden sind oder andere Zahlen beinhalten. Die Doppel-Null beim Roulett sorgt beim amerikanischen Roulette fГјr einen größeren Hausvorteil. Der Bankvorteil ist mit 2 38, also 5,26 Prozent, deutlich größer als beim franzГ¶sischen Roulette. https://www.f-type.org/community/profile/lesleybaber8576/ Wir haben uns also die Zeit genommen, die Grundlagen zu jedem einzelnen zu erklГ¤ren. Diese Online Casino Spiele sind an jedem top Online Casino verfГјgbar. Also, bevor du dich also an dein Lieblings-Spiel heranwagst, solltest du dir die Gewinnquoten und all diese nГјtzlichen kleinen Details ansehen: Bei den besten Online Casinos im Test wird immer wieder gezeigt, dass Top Casinos neben einer groГџen Anzahl von mindestens 500 Automatenspielen einen umfassenden Live-Casino-Bereich bereitstellen. Dabei zeichnet sich ein guter bis sehr guter Live-Bereich durch ein groГџes deutschsprachiges Live-Dealer-Angebot aus. Top Casinos stellen Live Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarad und Pokerspiele mit deutschsprachigen Live-Dealern und einer einfachen Live-Chat-Funktion bereit. Aber nicht alle online Casinos sind als seriГ¶s und vertrauenswГјrdig einzustufen. So gibt es noch immer einige schwarze Schafe, vor allem unter den virtuellen Spielhallen die neu auf den Markt kommen und zudem ist nicht jedes online Casino uneingeschrГ¤nkt empfehlenswert wie die Test- und Vergleichsberichte aufzeigen.

  17. Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
