“It is a fact that some businesses are closing down, while many others are struggling under the weight of multiple taxation. There are different Task Forces everywhere and many of them cash in on revenue drive by governments to exploit the people. The result is that Small and Medium Scale businesses are going down. The purpose of  Tax and Revenue  is to draw the attention of the authorities to the imminent crisis that may plague the economy if not addressed”, the statement added.
