Executive Director of the EIRS on Income Tax, Prince Felix Isuku, said the visit was to ensure that both organisations, and others operating in Edo State, complied with tax laws, “as they are legally bound to do so.”
He warned that “just as there are rewards for compliance, there are also sanctions.”

Isuku reiterated the need for organisations to ensure they register with the EIRS, deduct and remit Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE), withholding taxes, pay haulage fees, carry out business premises registration and renewal fees, as well as ensure verification of tax clearance certificates.

Isuku stressed the need for organisations and multinationals to play their part in actualising the plans of making Edo great again.

Plant Manager of the NBC, Irene Okpode, expressed appreciation to the EIRS team for the visit, promising a smooth working relationship with the Service and to sustain compliance with the tax laws.
