Anambra Govt to Combat illegal Revenue Agents with 200 Community Officers
Governor Willie Obiano
Following the illegal activities of fake revenue agents in the state, the Anambra State Government has approved the engagement of two hundred community revenue officers.
The Community Revenue Officers will be incharge of revenues of government coming in from their assigned communities.
The chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Anambra State Internal Revenue Service, AIRS, Dr David Nzekwu revealed this while outlining the procedures for the new mobile distribution of integrated bills in Anambra State, which started today.
The mobile distribution of harmonized bills is an innovative system introduced by the AIRS to enable tax payers in the state to pay their tax directly to the state government’s coffers and prevent over and double taxation while guarding against revenue fraudsters, who extort unsuspecting Ndi Anambra and businesses.
Dr Nzekwu, who spoke on ABS flagship breakfast TV show, Good Morning Anambra explained that Governor Willie Obiano approved for the engagement of the community revenue officers to step up the agency’s manpower in transparent revenue collection in the state.
On the new harmonized bills, Dr Nzekwu explained that the new innovation will now integrate business Premises, ASWAMA levy, ANSAA bills, and other bills and levies into one, while payment will still be made through with ANSSID numbers at designated commercial banks.
