The Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS) has issued a warning to residents regarding fraudulent tax collectors operating in the state. Executive Chairman, Mr. Jery Adams, alerted the public to be vigilant, as these individuals and groups claim to be authorized by KADIRS to collect taxes, levies, and fines, but are actually criminals engaging in deceitful activities.
KADIRS has not authorized any person or group outside its official channels to act on its behalf. The service has begun apprehending those involved and urges the public to report suspicious activities or persons claiming to represent KADIRS without proper identification and authorization.
Additionally, KADIRS has noticed fake number plates and tax clearance certificates being circulated, potentially involving some staff members. The service is taking measures to identify and address these illegal activities, ensuring that any staff or individuals found to be involved will face legal consequences.
Residents are advised to make payments only through approved KADIRS channels, such as designated banks or official digital platforms, to maintain transparency, integrity, and accountability in all operations.
