GRA closes down shops, arrests managers for tax non-compliance
The exercise is part of efforts by the GRA to promote voluntary tax compliance and ensure compliance for the same, especially amongst Micro, Small, and Medium-sized businesses.
Speaking to Joy Business after the exercise, Assistant Commissioner and Head of the Accra Regional Enforcement Unit at the GRA, Joseph Annan, said his outfit will not relent till maximum compliance is achieved.
“Those that we have done in the past, we will visit every one of them to know whether they are complying
For those who declared their profits but fail to pay, we will also come after you.
Anan asserted that many entities have been processed for court.
He furthered that the process has led to an upscale in VAT compliance and consequently boosted domestic revenue levels.
He concluded that the GRA will continue to conduct random checks to ensure voluntary compliance with Value Added Tax by increasing its enforcement exercises in other parts of the country.
