The Gambia Revenue Authourity has obtained a court order to enforce a judgment against Muhammadou Jabbie, the owner of the FIB Building on Kairaba Avenue for rental income tax arrears amounting to D4 million.

This move by GRA comes after Mr. Jabbie,

alias Duwa Jabbie, allegedly failed to honour the terms of a Consent Judgment dated 9th November 2020. 

According to the court judgement, the Gambia Revenue Authority had on the 20th May 2020 initiated a legal action at the High Court to recover the sum of D6, 264, 079.44 being arrears of rental income tax from January 2012-December 2018 which resulted in a Consent Judgment of 9th November 2020.

Under the Consent Terms, the judgment debtor (Jabbie) admitted to the liability and agreed to pay the said liability by making installment payments. 

However, an affidavit of statement seen by this reporter disclosed that the Judgment Debtor failed to adhere to the terms of the Consent Judgment resulting in this enforcement action.
