The Federal Capital Territory FCT Administration on Thursday made good its threat to seal establishments in the territory who have defaulted in their tax obligations.
The establishments sealed were Regency Hotel, Gratias International School, Rural and Urban Homes Ltd, Trevari International Company and Phenomenon International Company. “We were at their premises and the management refused to attend to us; and refused to open their doors, despite many calls for them to do so to enable us to enforce the court order”.
“This is also a criminal offence. The school has not been paying their taxes at all, and also refused to file their annual returns since establishment,” he said. He warned the affected business owners against any attempt to unseal the premises and advised them to go to the court to obtain a court order before they could do so.
