The Commissioner-General, top management, and staff of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), have been applauded by its Board of Directors for exceeding the Authority’s mid-year revenue target for 2024.
In a statement signed by Joe Ghartey, Chairman of the GRA Board of Directors, the achievement was praised as historic and outstanding, especially considering the numerous challenges faced.
The statement highlighted the admirable performance of the GRA team in not only meeting but surpassing expectations despite the obstacles encountered.
Mr. Ghartey emphasized the collective effort and resilience shown by the Commissioner-General and the entire GRA staff in reaching this milestone.
He expressed confidence that this success lays a strong foundation for continued effective revenue mobilization efforts, which are crucial for supporting national development goals.
“This historic performance was achieved against a background of strong headwinds, including the seasonal challenges in achieving revenue targets in election years,” it said.
“The Board strongly believes in the ability and the determination of management and staff of GRA to work against all these odds and will continue to support them to achieve their targets,” the statement added.
The statement also mentioned that the Commissioner-General would share more information on these achievements later this week.
Furthermore, the Board called on all stakeholders, including taxpayers and the business community, to maintain their support for the GRA in bolstering revenue mobilization efforts.
They stressed the necessity of collaboration and cooperation from all sectors to enhance the Authority’s performance in revenue collection and administration.
