The Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS) has sealed off three hotels and a hospital over N22.2 million tax liabilities.

KADIRS sealed off the hotels and hospital on Thursday.

The affected hotels are Castle De-White House Hotel, Kwato Road, N12.12 million, Toptel Hotel, N2.8 million, and Erisort Hotel, N345,471, all on Kigo Road, Kaduna.

Also, ALBA Clinic and Medical Centre, Constitution Road, was closed for not remitting N7.0 million tax.

Aisha Mohammed, KADIRS legal adviser, and board secretary, told journalists that the agency had obtained a court order to seal off the hotels and the hospital.

Ms Mohammed added that the action was in line with the provisions of Section 104 (3) and (4) of the Personal Income Tax (Amendment) Act, 2011, and Section 37 (3) and (4) of Kaduna State Tax Codification and Consolidation Law, 2020, as amended.

According to her, the tax liabilities are based on assessments from 2012 to 2018, adding that KADIRS served the outfits notices several times but refused to oblige.

“We were left with no option but to go to court and obtain the order to close the offices and recover the tax due to the state,” she said.
