The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has said it will continue to pursue organizations and institutions that evade taxes across the nation in accordance with its mandate.
According to Joseph Annan, the Authority’s Area Enforcement Manager, the recent closure of China Mall should serve as a warning to the public about the Authority’s willingness to enforce its rules.
In a conversation with journalists, Mr. Annan stated that organizations that do not pay their taxes will face required repercussions.
“The signal we want to send to the public is that this time around, we are going to enforce the tax laws to the fullest. We have engaged them over months yet, it has always been business as usual, so we are not going to relent on any of the tax laws,” he noted.
Meanwhile, on Monday, October 10, the GRA undertook a special operation that saw the closure of a number of outlets and businesses over non-compliance with Ghana’s electronic VAT system.
