Kirkos Sub City Revenues Office disclosed it has caught 106 cash register machines that businesses put in a locker room they leased from K-Kare Building, which is located around Mexico. The Office discovered this during businesses’ daily income estimation being carried out by the Ethiopian Revnues and Customs Authority (ERCA).

Commenting on the matter, the building’s administrator, Nigusse said, “The owners of the machines have no permanent business address, they only come here when they want to use the machines for transaction purposes,”

According to Fortune, the room at K-Kare Building, where the lockers are found, has been sealed by individuals from the tax authorities. And the justification for this was the cash register machines should be kept at a place where the businesses actually undertake their transaction.

Zebwa Hailu, Deputy Manager of Legal Protection at the Kirkos Sub City Revenues Office, on her part said, “We are still investigating the seriousness of the problem”. “The owners of those machines are abusing the law.”
