Nigerian tribunal orders MultiChoice to pay 50% of disputed $4.4bn tax bill

A Nigerian tax tribunal ordered the local unit of South Africa's pay-TV company MultiChoice to pay 50% of a disputed 1.8-trillion naira ($4.38-billion) tax bill relating to previous years, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) said on Wednesday. The deposit of 50% of the sum was a condition that had to be fulfilled by MultiChoice Nigeria before the tribunal could hear a full appeal on the matter, the FIRS statement said.
