The Enugu state government says it is enforcing the N40 daily mortuary tax to discourage prolonged corpse storage in morgues.
Emmanuel Nnamani, chair of the Enugu State Internal Revenue Service , spoke on Saturday in response to a viral circular addressed to mortuary attendants in the state.
The circular instructed mortuary attendants to ensure that a fee of N40 per day is paid for corpses that are not buried within 24 hours.The payment must be made before the collection of corpses for burial, with the funds remitted directly to the state government as mortuary tax. “Kindly ensure that owners of corpses make the payments before collection of the corpses for burial and then remit same to the ESIRS in any commercial bank under mortuary tax in Enugu State IGR Account.”Nnamani emphasised that the tax is not new and has been part of the state’s law for years.“It is an indirect tax paid by mortuary owners, not the deceased’s family, and it’s just N40, not N40,000,” Nnamani said, according to NAN.
