-says typographical error was made
-both companies set for court on GRA summons
ExxonMobil yesterday distanced itself from the huge inflation of an invoice detected by the GRA and pointed to its former broker which it did not name and both are set to appear in court next week over the matter.
Stabroek News yesterday reported on the massive inflation of the invoice from an estimated US$4.4m to US$12.1b.
In a brief statement yesterday, the company said: “ExxonMobil Guyana (EMGL) became aware of a clerical error in a Customs declaration filed by our former broker in 2023 from an investigation initiated by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA). EMGL did not compose the erroneous declaration, nor were we aware of this clerical error when the declaration was filed. EMGL is cooperating fully with the GRA in its investigation of this matter”.
