In a bid to enhance the ease of doing business and eliminate multiple taxation , Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike had on Monday flagged off the Rivers State Tax Management System (RIVTAMIS).
The Governor also launched the issuance of the Rivers State Tax Identification Number (RIVTIN) and received the first RIVTIN Card from the Executive Chairman of Rivers State Internal Revenue Service, Mr Adoage Norteh.
Speaking at the Flag off of RIVTAMIS and RIVTIN, Governor Wike said that the innovations are part of his administration’s commitment to entrenching platforms for the ease of doing business.
He said that the new tax reform packages will identify all formal and informal businesses in the state, noting that the details will help the State Government plan for development.
According to the governor, with the digital platforms, tax payments can be made from anywhere.
He said: “From First April 2018, all businesses are required to obtain their RIVTIN to pay taxes, levies and fines to the Rivers State Government.
“All banks have been mobilised to generate RIVTIN for all those who want to make payments to the Rivers State Government. Any business that fails to comply by June 1, 2018 will be appropriately sanctioned “.
Chairman of Rivers State Internal Revenue Service, Mr Adoage Norteh said the Tax place has been sanitized to check multiple taxation.
