The Benue Internal Revenue Service says it has concluded plans to harmonise all locally approved levies collected on the state’s highways.

She added that no staff of the board was permitted to demand or harass any motorist, private or commercial, for any type of revenue while on the road.“Cars that take passengers do not pay haulage fees; they pay presumptive tax of N200 for smaller vehicles and N500 for buses, and this is usually collected at the park, not on the road,” she said.

“Those people are unauthorised revenue officials and do not remit payments to government coffers because BIRS does not collect levies through crooked methods. ”
