The High Commissioner of Ioba province, Bernadette Adenyo née Sermé, invited the bodies to pay their individual taxes, on the occasion of the ceremony of the monthly raising of national colors coupled with the day of fiscal exemplarity, Monday March 4, 2024 in Dano.
The ceremony for the raising of the national colors this March took place at the provincial tax directorate (DPI) of Ioba.
This service was deliberately chosen by the provincial authorities.
Indeed, the flag raising ceremony was coupled with the day of fiscal exemplarity.
At the end of the raising of colors ceremony, the participants stormed the DPI revenue offices to pay their taxes.
This is the second time that this activity is organized by the Dano High Commission in collaboration with the Provincial Tax Directorate (DPI) of Ioba.
The bodies headed by the head of the Ioba province have once again shown a good example in terms of tax citizenship.
They paid their individual taxes such as residence tax, motor vehicle tax and gun tax.
The p
rovincial tax director of Ioba, Joël Dinaba, first presented the organization, responsibilities and operation of the DPI. He thanked the administrative authorities for organizing this activity and all taxpayers for their participation. The High Commissioner of Ioba, Bernadette Adenyo/Sermé, stressed that civil servants also contribute to the socio-economic development of the region.
According to her, it is important that people see that civil servants set an example.
Ms Adenyo explained the rationale for paying taxes. She maintained that the collection of taxes not only relieves the special municipal and regional delegations and further the government.
‘Without a doubt, it allows malnourished children to have a balanced diet and others to have access to education and health care,’ she said.
She congratulated public and private service agents and traders in Ioba province who paid their individual taxes in 2023.
The first manager of Ioba informed the participants of the activities held in the commune of Or
onkua as part of the 167th anniversary of International Women’s Day, March 8, 2024. She thanked all the members of the bodies constituted for their remarkable and constant mobilization at each ceremony of the raising of the national colors.
