Notice of Exemption For All Wheelbarrow Pushers, Petty Traders, Hawkers, Vulcanizers
Anambra State Government says it has come to its attention that in spite of tax exemption granted wheelbarrow pushers, hawkers, Perry traders and vulcanizers, which was announced and publicized by the media, some unscrupulous market leaders and their agents have continued to fleece these people of their meagre income.
Government therefore, once again, informs the Anambra State Amalgamated Traders Association, Individual Market Associations and the general public that all wheelbarrow pushers, petty traders, hawkers, and vulcanizers are exempted from all kinds of Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, payments such as fees, charges, levies, rates etc
A release signed by the State Commissioner for Information, Sir Paul Nwosu, said in view of the current harsh economic condition, state government has decided to waive these taxes from those categories of people as a way of making their livelihood easier.
The release warned that anybody found collecting any form of taxes or levies from these people would be arrested and prosecuted for stealing.
It warned all concerned to desist from such acts or be ready to face the music.
