MultiChoice Nigeria said it had not received any notification from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) over alleged tax fraud.
FIRS chairman, Mohammad Nami had directed commercial banks to recover N1.8 trillion from accounts of MultiChoice Nigeria Limited (MCN) and MultiChoice Africa (MCA).
Nami had accused the group of lacking in data integrity and transparency, saying they continually denied FIRS access to their records.
MultiChoice, in a statement by its media coordinator, Bamidele Johnson, on Thursday, said the group was currently in talks with the agency concerning the issue
“MultiChoice Nigeria has not received any notification from FIRS. MultiChoice Nigeria respects and is comfortable that it complies with the tax laws of Nigeria,” the company said.
It added: “We have been and are currently in discussion with FIRS regarding their concerns and believe that we will be able to resolve the matter amicably.”
