Imo State Government today 24 September 2020 fires tax revenue consultants as it resorts to use of security and technology for the job.

The Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma says Imo State has installed technology to automatically collect taxes and revenues.

He took to Twitter to announce the news, welcomed by the citizens who have been facing harrasment and intimidation from the agents.

“I wish to seize this medium to inform Ndị Imo that there are no revenue consultants anymore in Imo State.

“To this very end, I urge our people to resist anyone or group asking for revenue or tax of any kind.

The Governor returned the task of collecting revenue and taxes to the Imo State Board of Inland Revenue (BIR).

He asked citizens who pay taxes to always insist on getting official receipts going forward.

“All payments will be made to the Treasury Single Account (TSA) of the State,” said.

“Anyone or group(s) found collecting taxes and levies should be promptly reported and possibly handed over to the relevant authorities or security agencies,” he warned.
