Osun State government has allayed fears that it may impose heavy taxes on people of the state during the second term in office of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

Oyebanji said that the tax system in the state was a friend one and that the state government was poised to continue in the trend by encouraging self compliance.

The governor’s aide also said that the state government has deployed Point of Sale Terminal machines (POS), to the state Water Corporation revenue officers to enhance their effective performance in revenue generation.

He then urged the people of the state to continue to support government by paying their taxes as at when due for the government to meet its developmental tasks to the people.
