Tax Evasion: Lagos moves against celebrities, sues Davido, AY

January 15,2018

By Rita Chioma,
The Lagos State Government has begun moves to tackle high-profile tax defaulters in the state and ensure high level of compliance with its tax laws.
According to recent reports, there are court papers indicating that the state government had dragged sensational singer, David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido to the court of law for alleged tax evasion.
Davido was charged before a Lagos High Court in July 2017 and risk a jail term if convicted.
AY has had a longer history in court against the state as he was charged to court in 2016 for failing to file his tax returns as required by law. .
“Davido, who has record deals with Sony Music Entertainment and endorsement agreements with various companies in Nigeria, has not filed his tax returns or remit any taxes to the Lagos State Government,” a source said.
A reliable government source revealed that Davido had defended his action, claiming that he paid taxes to Osun State since he is an indigene of the state.
The source added, “Remember that Davido said he made N500m from his N30bn concert recently. We must know how much he paid to the LIRS. AY too said the same thing.
The comedian claimed to be paying his taxes to Ondo State, where he hails from. It seems these celebrities don’t understand that the tax law stipulates that you must pay your tax to your state of residence.
Anyway, we are already in court. Others will soon appear in court if they don’t obey the state tax law. You can’t be making money in Lagos and refuse to pay tax.”
