It is the duty of persons in Abuja to pay taxes and levies, however, to pay ONLY genuine and correct taxes. You have the right to demand for a written Demand Notice from any Government Tax Officer or agent that demands for tax or levy. Always, compare the demanded tax on the written Demand Notice with the taxes and levies stipulated by law and then contact your lawyer. Do not let the threat of being summoned to any court or any law enforcement agency to distract or disturb you. Courts will not jail or close your business/premises, without first listening to you and your lawyer. No court will order you to pay a fake tax or “padded” tax.
