Reps to probe Multichoice over alleged N1.8tr, $342m unremitted tax

Multichoice Group, the parent company of digital satellite television providers DSTV and GOTV, has landed in hot soup after the House of Representatives mandated its Committee on Finance to carry out a comprehensive investigation into the alleged non-remittance of tax revenues amounting to N1.8 trillion and $342 million in Value-added tax, owed to the Federal Government.

This followed the adoption of a motion moved by Honorable Sa’idu Abdullahi at the plenary on Wednesday.

In his presentation, Abdullahi said the investigation was necessitated due to suppression of information discovered from the submissions in the company’s home country, South Africa.
