Multichoice owes Nigeria ₦1.8trillion and $342.5million in taxes, FIRS orders freezing of accounts

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has engaged some commercial banks as agents to freeze and recover N1.8 trillion from accounts of Messrs MultiChoice Nigeria Limited (MCN) And MultiChoice Africa (MCA).

This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Abdullahi Ahmad, Director, Communications and Liaison Department of FIRS in Abuja on Thursday.

The FIRS explained that the decision to appoint the banks as agents and to freeze the accounts was as a result of the groups’ continued refusal to grant FIRS access to their servers for audit.

The service said it discovered that the companies persistently breached all agreements and undertakings with the Service.
