RE: Oct 15 final 2017 tax deadline: Share your tax horror story with BlockTrades

in #blocktrades6 years ago

@blocktrades at times taxing and its problem make sick, let me share an experience, actually it's not directly on me but indirectly it's really on me ,I'll just keep it brief and simple don't want to bore you with details .

5 years ago, I and my mum had a hell of an experience with our taxes, I just thank God for you guys overseas cus it seems your government and people are more mature and contented, but Here in Africa that's an apology , take it from me.
Since my mum is a bit advanced in age I run most of her errands like that of paying taxes, so I knew the weight of funds that usually lives us for taxes Monthly, mostly because of our small business.
In my country Nigeria, I don't mean to be disrespectful or unpatriotic but I'll say boldly that corruption knows no bounds .5 years ago a new tax verification system was introduced In my country, the TIN tax identification number, we're all eligible tax payers would enrolled and get an ID number during it's introduction my mum escorted by Me, went for the registration and she got the card, she was given an option to pay her taxes via banks or still continue paying directly at the IRS but since she was used to the system she still continue with it 2years ago the IRS called our notice that we were owing so much we became very surprised and thought it was a mistake and asked that they verified the names or we sue them but there rather told us we were actually owing ,then questions were asked ;how ,when ,why? In fact we had witnesses .

but after long verification we realized that my mum was scammed, she met with a fake officer who gave her a fake card and that all we were paying had no were it was going , all the same she enrolled again officially and we started paying the debts thank God few months ago we cleared our areas and we are now free, I just hope my country gets better.....
@blocktrades am telling thats was real horror .it's just always sad when we are faced with predicaments of that nature, but all the Same its well.

Sort:  

Did they ever catch the fake guys?

No my dear

I don't mean to be Unpatriotic but the rate of corruption in my country is very alarming , growing from strength to strength , but all the same I still wish the best for my country
And also @blocktrades thanks for the upvote , I really appreciate .
