Sure bet that if this wasn't done the taxes deducted from salary were never remitted to IRC. Employees are entitled to lodge an Income Tax Return to claim a tax rebate if they incurred expenses in earning salary income over K200 per year. It sure would open a can of worms should somebody lodge an income tax return to IRC if there was no record of taxes being paid on behalf of that person by their employer.
For the benefit of anybody wishing to claim their tax rebate, download the form from the irc.gov.pg website and send it to the address given. A world of pain might descend on the employer should it be the case that the taxes deducted were not remitted.
