Mr Arlat Dashe, Chairman of Plateau State Internal Revenue Service, has called on Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to assist in reconciling tax remittances.
Dashe made this call on Tuesday in Jos during the stakeholder engagement meeting with the Management and Risk-based Unit.
The Chairman said that PSIRS was not getting returns from MDAs and there were needs for partnering with the various MDAs to reconcile tax remittance.
“Since the introduction of IPPIS by the government, MDAs have not been giving us information from 2014 -2021,” said the Chairman.
Dashe said that if IPPIS was decentralised in various states, it would help manage the reconciliation of tax remittance.
He said that forms had been distributed to various MDAs and platforms and soft copies would be made available for them to provide bio-data and other information that would help the service.
He said the information would help individuals get prompt tax payment records and deal with insecurity too.
He, however, warned that depriving the service of relevant information “is punishable.”
Adding that the law made it mandatory for the service to get information as taxation is a matter of the constitution
