The executive chair of FIRS, Muhammad Nami, was quoted as saying: > _The companies would not promptly respond to correspondences, they lacked data integrity and are not transparent as they continually deny FIRS access to their records._ > _The companies are involved in the under-remittance of taxes which necessitated a critical review of the tax-compliance level of the company. Particularly, [MultiChoice Nigeria Limited] has avoided giving the FIRS accurate information on the number of its subscribers and income._ > _It is further requested that the FIRS be informed of any transactions before execution on the account, especially transfers of funds to any of their subsidiaries._ Multichoice responded to the accusations saying it had not been formally notified about the matter and the case appeared to be based on “unfounded allegations.” Said the company: > _We have engaged openly with FIRS and the engagements are ongoing in a transparent and constructive manner._ Nigeria is one of DStv’s biggest markets, therefore, the tax dispute could significantly disrupt the operations of MultiChoice if it is not resolved quickly.
