A concerted action was taken against businessmen who do not collect receipts: 32 suspects were arrested In order to ensure the fairness of the business system in the capital, the Addis Ababa Revenue Bureau coordinated with the Addis Ababa Police and 32 individuals were arrested. On Saturday, January 23, 2018, legal action was taken against 19 butcher shops and 6 construction materials sales organizations in various areas including Mercato. Business owners and employees who were found to be selling without receipts to evade government taxes are currently being investigated by the police. It will be remembered that the bureau has previously taken similar measures in the tire, electronics and construction sectors, and it has announced that the operation will continue in other sectors. The office urged that any business transaction should be done only with a receipt, and called on the society to report such violations on the 7075 free call line. The business community is again warned to refrain from such criminal activities and respect the rule of law.
