The Delta State Government has reeled out tax relief incentives to some categories of Small and Medium Enterprises in its determination to cushion the effects of COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
Those expected to benefit from the gesture include private school owners, hoteliers, private hospital owners, potable water providers, transport companies and owners of eateries.
Aniagwu pointed out that the state government had taken proactive steps in the past to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 that had led to the drop in the price of crude oil in the international market. The commissioner disclosed that the World Bank offered the state government $4.5m as grant for budget discipline, due process, transparency and accountability in its financial transactions.
He said that the essence of the tax relief incentives was to keep businesses afloat to prevent loss of jobs.
