Whereas many tax defaulters who were served with pre-action notice by this office and have paid their tax liabilities will no longer be prosecuted for the breach of the Tax law.

Therefore, every tax payer in Lagos State is advised to voluntarily comply with the Tax law particularly on filing of annual tax returns and payment of assessed tax liability to avoid imposition of penalty and interest as well as prosecution with its attendant consequence.

Lawal Pedro SAN, FCIArb

Hon. Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Lagos State.
