The Viti Union of Taukei Workers General Secretary, Taniela Tabu has revealed that he has sent a letter to the Interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama yesterday with certain documents on the allegations of tax evasision against an Interim Minister.
Tabu said he was informed by Commodore Bainimarma earlier that an investigation was conducted but nothing further eventuated.
Tabu said the allegations must be taken seriously as it paints a bad image of the interim administration. He said the interim government is contradicting everything it stands for by not taking action.
It is alleged that the interim minister evaded taxes over a period of time.
The Fiji Islands Revenue and Customs Authority maintains there are no tax issues concerning ministers in the Interim government on which appropriate action has not been taken when required or warranted.
Yesterday the Ousted Labour Minister has called on FIRCA to investigate the alleged tax evading interim minister on where he collected money from since the year 2000 and why it has been deposited in foreign banks under his name. Krishna Dutt said FIRCA needs to establish this as the source of the income should be fully investigated.
