The National Revenue Authority NRA has closed St. Mary’s Supermarket on Hill Cut Junction because of their failure to issue ECR receipt to customers.
Head of the Enforcement Team, Augustine Bockarie Jusu, said that it is mandatory by law that businesses that were given the ECR machines to issue ECR receipts to every customer that buys whatever quantity of goods in their business places.
Augustine Bockarie Jusu said that they came to realize that St. Mary’s Supermarket has not been issuing ECR receipts to customers which were among the reasons they closed it.
He noted that they had sent an invitation letter to the management of the supermarket but they failed to show up and also failed to pay the fine of ten thousand Leones which is why they have been issued a total fine of two hundred and sixty thousand Leones.
