According to sources, the state government sued popular singer David Adeleke known by his stage name Davido and comedian Ayo Makun popularly known as AY to court over alleged tax evasion.
A government source disclosed that Davido and AY had claimed that they have been paying tax to their states of origin. Davido reportedly claimed that he was paying to Osun state while AY claimed he paid his tax to Ondo state.
“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”, the government source said.
