Lagos - Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola, has accused Jaykay
Pharmacy, owned by the governorship candidate of the PDP, Jimi Agbaje of
owing the state N1.6 million as unpaid land use charges, Sun reports
Fashola made the disclosure at the 8th Annual Lagos State taxation Stakeholders’ Conference held in Ikeja.
Fashola,
who explained that Land Use Charge was a consolidated tax combining
ground rent and tenement rate, said tax is prescribed by the 1999
constitution. It states that it shall be the duty of every citizen to
declare its income to the appropriate and lawful agency; and pay the
required tax promptly.
The governor declared that the pharmacy
paid LUC in 2013 and 2014 because the management and the candidate of
the PDP realized that the election would be holding in 2015.
