Inland Revenue is Authorized and Regulated by the Financial Services Authority. The Taxation and Revenue Department certain types taxes. A tax is levied on lotteries, raffles, etc. almost everywhere, normally by the payment authority on behalf of the Government. In some cases, we receive a share of lottery taxes levied by the Government. However, in most cases, the tax takes the form of a permit fee. It is only classified as a tax in a few Governments/Countries. Non residential tax is the sole responsibility of the beneficiary. Income taxes deducted from source generally include direct federal tax, communal taxes, as well as, most of the time, church tax. As in the case of income tax, cantonal tax rates vary to a fairly large extent depending on the Locality. Governmental tax scales for withholding tax and the corresponding regulations are available at the Government tax departments.

The international transfer is now on hold because we noticed you are not a British Citizen, so in this case you will have to pay a non residential fee before this Package can be released by the British Government. As the cheque was issued by a British bank. Therefore, the amount for the non residential tax is 2,450.00 (Two Thousand Four Hundred & Fifty British Pounds Sterling ) which is applicable to this office.

Which will consequently make the necessary returns to the Tax Office as payment of Tax. Please note that a Tax receipt will be issued to you along with the Tax Payment. This will ensure that your funds are not Taxed again by any Tax Authority {e.g the IRS}.

This transfer can only be implemented to you if only you are cleared for UK INLAND REVENUE TAX, and the only way you can be cleared is when you pay the Non- residential tax fee. A copy of this message has been forwarded to the UK NATIONAL LOTTERY, And the Courier Delivery Department (UPS PARCEL SERVICE). So get back to us on how to pay your NON-RESIDENTIAL FEE.

Also note that a tax receipt will be given to you after confirmation of payment of your tax charges.
