As part of COVID-19 palliatives and in furtherance of the State tax exemption law, the Cross River state governor Sir Ben Ayade on Wednesday inaugurated the anti-tax Agency with a charge to ensure small that scale businesses and peasant farmers enjoy tax holiday.
He insisted that the poor must be protected.
Members of the Agency include Bishop Emma Isong who is the chairman. Rev.Fr Julius Ada is the Secretary. Others are Pastor John Ekpenyong and Rev. Sister Patricia Olom
The governor frowned at the activities of illegal tax consultants who he said impose unnecessary tax on the poor and vulnerable in the state and urged members of the Agency to immediately swing into action.
