LINDA IKEJI SAGA

Linda Ikeji in trouble with LIRS as reports claim she only paid N4k in tax in 6 years - Mosun Usman

According to Newsofthepeopleng, Linda Ikeji might soon be in a running battle with the Lagos Inland Revenue Service over an alleged tax evasion. It was learnt that the moves to track her down started about a month ago but all attempts by the agency were said to have been frustrated.
.
.
A source informed that at a time she was about to be served a notice of tax assessment, her father who was to receive the letter allegedly declined to do so. On the second occasion, the delivery man was turned back on the excuse that no individual known as Linda Ikeji was resident at the address.
.

 
.
The agency however got their way last week as she was served with video and photographic evidences at her new mansion in Banana Island. Newsofthepeopleng further reports that a source at the tax office revealed that checks conducted on her showed that she had only paid N4,000 as tax in the last six years.
 

.

At the moment the agency is said to be requesting for her tax assessment of personal income with a caveat that failure to do so may compel them to proceed to court for a criminal proceeding.
.
.
A particular issue raised by a source was the withholding tax ought to have been paid to the state government on the N500m property she recently acquired in Lagos. It was also hinted that if she refuses to respond to the request of the inland revenue, the agency shall be forced to drag her to the court...... Ambode pls leave her alone!.....

 And the comments......

 

 

• olubasky@soft005 you have no idea . This is Lagos we talking .
• onyxgodwinReading some comments can be depressing.. So much hate about success and happiness when bad news is heard.
• korexkateebzHater everywhere!!! choi I cant deal, Lol my Linda be winning!!! Everyday!!! All eyes on her just coz shes successful.. biko make una free am and get busy... Nonsense
• toketoposh@diaryofanaijagirl I will agree with you if there was a contract for service between her and her customers. If the customers refuse to withhold tax on her then the govt should go and hound them. On the house issue, i repeat that Linda cannot withhold tax on the seller if she has no incorporation or business name. You may want to read more about how the why system works before you respond. Thanks
• porshemaddame@poshrawyaltyboutique the house made her public,there is nothing about enemies,it is normal,if you publicize such property then Lagos state would come after you
• cynzydexy@mazichiko all these Epistle of St.Paul wey you write now biko who ask you? She's not your kind of woman blah blah blah who know you? Who ask you Mr.career, who you hep sef? Pipo go just dey dey vomit shit
• kinkygirltashWow @kyrias_white! Now this is one serious sh*t!
• porshemaddameNigerians and this their enemies and spiritual thingy, there are so many young Nigerians richer than Linda,if you don't want to get into Lagos or Nigeria's mess then you don't put such property on display
• porshemaddameI mean this a woman that just blogs, explain why they won't come after her,there is so much money in blogging but you don't drop such property and expect to sleep at night

• queenfunsky_komixup Linda I wish you many more achievements 😍😍😍😍..everyone shows off in one way or the other, some are not just too opportune to enjoy the fame others are getting..show love and stop the hate
• porshemaddameThis is Lagos and this is Nigeria

• iambossladytohbad@benitafatusin o seti go!
• myfullnames@toketoposh y bother responding? Most of them have no knowledge about taxes, just hear ranting in their ignorance. Everything this days is hate. Don't bother responding biko
• break_or_makeupKeep your success to yourself..
• porshemaddame@toketoposh if her name isn't incorporated then she has no legal business,then she has no business account,are you telling me all her customers pay into her personal account?,she must have registered her company, so she has to pay withholding tax
• omobewajitadeDis will happen when u open ur black ass to the world! Some are gonna be happy with you ! While others will wish u well with bad minds! Frenemies
• mazichiko@cynzydexy no vex you hear, I got free data. Miss Unemployed

• diaryofanaijagirl@ikeesuy I'm just tired. We have become so corrupt that tax evasion means witch hunt!
• porshemaddame@diaryofanaijagirl you are a very intelligent young lady
• porshemaddame@chinenyeumeugo thank you
• aoaaoj@tsyn0 @opra_do
• chinenyeumeugo@ikeesuy my dear ask the above people who keeps shouting hate hate.
• poshrawyaltyboutique@porshemaddame you can't understand is she the only one with such property in Lagos or Nigeria ! Anyways when God blesses you such blessing don't hide bcos they are extra ordinary and the devil will be jealous and start speaking to his agent to cause trouble ! My dear u can't understand dis issue u are looking at it from another angle ok
• allyberry13Hiannnnn can they pls just let this girl be already????? All becos of house she bought ba??? So what will happen when she buys her private jet like she said ???? I laugh at the devil 😃😁😄😃😁😄 @poshrawyaltyboutique a big AMEN to ur prayer...
• dunni_ng@debeezy01 my LIRS gistamania.....@dharmie_gb
• diaryofanaijagirl@toketoposh lol. Let's both go read up. You don't need a contract to get paid. You also need a TIN number on your invoice these days for a registered company to pay you. This is how legit business is done. I own a company, I KNOW what I'm talking about. I apologize if I got on your nerves. But I'm just a little shocked at how ppl are taking this (if it is true) as witch hunting
• xmallmadam.kayWhy is it that anyone who makes a comment with not being ok with some acts is tagged a hater? Linda herself on her blog if I'm not mistaking said she took some money but for advert n also says she only blogs. So at a point her wealth is questionable. Not every critic is a hate comment my dear people
• theclosetfairy👏🏾👏🏾 @poshrawyaltyboutique
• remeosimeLol @iberkleyjones
• joiliciousBut all this @"posh" people can argue sha!
• uniqchick@shez_pokobaybe 😂😂 😂😂 Chey ak num nyaw Weh no nu
• ikeesuyShe isn't the only rich gal in naija agreed, but what makes u think she is d only one being served with tax evasion papers? She is in d media so her life is public, the other ones are not so u won't know, the other day nepa brought out d list of people owing them, d only person evry one talked about was donjazzy. Why? Becos everyone knows him. He is not d only one on dt list. Nobody said anything about d oda names, does it mean people hate donjazzy , nope. Let's try and do without dis hate thingy, its starting to sound like a broken record.

• benitafatusin@iambossladytohbad lmao
• ammmabee@mazichiko I concur !!
• omawuchi@kelechinwoko
• colouredgirl_piccasso@poshrawyaltyboutique i blame the govt tho..they ought to already have regulations on bloggers since its on the high..these things are normal norms,even in advanced countries once a particular kind of career is on the high,regulations are set up immediately..Nigeria govt are slow in decision making ,not only on Lindas issue..i dont think the govt is hating on her .they are just doing the right thing but the right thing is rather comin late when Linda ikeji has massive support...
• iambobbyvee😂😂😂 Nigerians! How is this witch hunt? If she hasn't been evading tax, she should go clear her name, for once think with your heads not your heart.
• emynigThis is why I always talk about Biafra republic ...I don't like lady bc she never supported Biafra bc she work with Hausa and Yoruba people ... Now they have come after her bc they believe she is doing well now ...if She call the name ..I love Biafra ...Biafra is my home all the Yorubas after her will run ..😜

• toketoposh@myfullnames thank you jare. Will keep saying it. Ignorance is killing this country. @porshemaddame.. Last time I checked, you don't need a legal company to run a blog. It's free!! @diaryofanaijagirl..on the contrary, you didn't get on my nerves. You will only make my day if you do a quick Google search for the Nigerian WHT regulations so we can have a more productive discussion.thanks

We all know Nigerians can be wicked and when some people are suffering and you are there showing your wealth practically shoving it down their throats they must look for a way to bring you down. Girl you need good frnds and family around you who can advice you accordingly and not just ass lickers

• kyrias_whiteGod! I'm tired of hearing hate,jealous ,envy and all that. Wft! Have we become so corrupt that we are comfortable with crime? Evading tax payment is a crime whether we like it or not! Jeeez! We spiritualize every thing yet we are the worst of people. Nobody is hating on her. Nobody helped her show her assets to the world,she and her family did and if she's owing the govt,she has to pay. Biko make una no dey disappoint person,una dey educated. She evades tax,she pays! Simple!
• kyrias_whiteCelebrities abroad "musicians o,footballers,wrestlers all risk jail for tax evasion,so how come Linda is being "hated" on?

• la_chiqShe should have bought her house in silence. That's what happens when you show off. Lots of people are envious already. Mike Adenuga has never showed off his own mansion on IG. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

• am_elizabethalukoTax evasion is a criminal offence that comes with jail terms and penalties, trust LIRS she will pay every kobo with interest rates and 10% of the accrued tax... She should have known better na, she can afford it jor so she won't be bothered. Most companies paying for ad must have been deducting WHT sha... @officiallindaikeji come let me consult for you. #taxcollector
• goldenboyubaks1@doctordibbs @jnlemoha

• m_tiraWhy do people talk so shallow? An average person earning 20k they pay tax yet you feel asking Linda to pay for tax is wrong or witch hunting? Like seriously? There's nothing "hating" here. It's a basic obligatory task! Get over it already! No one hates her for her success however she might have acquired it. Hian

• oppyharuna@megdaduchess i know right! It's even more disheartening that such unbridled comments are coming from supposedly young and "educated" people. They all need to have their certificates rescinded with immediate effect. No one is above the law, Wesley Snipes amongst other celebrities have spent time in jail for refusing to pay tax. Infact, govt needs to check alot of these people, i bet they too dont pay their tax. Kmt
• ultimate_parkleeShe is no more just a blogger but a company so she should be paying tax for the income, All advert on her blog is not free my dear brothers and sisters
• amandabailey89I keep warning her of the importance of keeping her life private and not announcing everything on social media but she didn't listen. You see all the results. Not everyone that congratulate you is happy for you. Most would pray secretly for your downfall and you broadcasting when you travel, eat, dance, buy a property etc is opening door for the enemy to aim for your downfall. Her sister Laura is part of the people that would bring her downfall with the way she is always exposing everything about her sister. I feel like we even live in that house with them with the regular videos. I pray they don't kill Linda sha
