Officials of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) have sealed the Shoprite outlet at the Ikeja City Mall over alleged failure to meet tax obligations.
A contravention notice sighted at the entrance of the Supermarket, said the breach is an offence punishable by fines and imprisonment under Section 94 of the Personal Income Tax Act, 2011 (as amended).
“Take notice that the owner/occupant of this premises has failed to comply with his/her tax obligations under the relevant tax laws,” the notice reads.
“This is a contravention of the law punishable by both pecuniary penalties and imprisonment pursuant to section 94 of the Personal Income Tax Act 2011 as amended.”
The service also warned that the seal must not be removed without authorisation from the tax authority, noting that doing so is “an offence punishable by imprisonment”.
