The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has suspended the implementation
of its policy for duty payments on old vehicles, in order to resolve
issues with the Senate Committee on Customs.
The Acting Public Relations Officer of the NCS, Mr Joseph Attah, said this on Wednesday in Abuja.
Attah said in a statement, that the Management of Customs had
directed that the exercise be put on hold and expressed its readiness to
engage the Senate Committee on further discussions.
He said that the essence was to bring the Senate on board to
understand the importance of the exercise to national security and
economy.
“Following the tension generated as a result of misconception
and misrepresentation of the NCS planned motor duty payment, the
leadership of the National Assembly and the Comptroller-General of
Customs, Col. Hameed Ali (Rtd) met with a view to resolving the impasse.
“They both agreed that the proposed motor duty payment, though
in line with the provision of Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA)
Cap C.45, LFN 2004, should be put on hold.
“While the Senate Committee on Customs and Excise interfaces with the NCS for further discussions.
“Payment of duty on vehicles or any dutiable imported item remains a civic responsibility of every patriotic Nigerian,’’ Attah said.
NAN reports that recently, the comptroller-general approved one
month grace for all Nigerian vehicle owners who have not paid duties to
do so or face outright seizure of the vehicles.
And this applies even to new vehicles bought from car dealers.
The service gave a window of one month, from March 13 to April 12, for car owners to pay the appropriate duty on their vehicles.
The public relations officer said that some owners of vehicles
brought into the country through the land borders, obviously, did not
pay duty.
