While the state is clamoring more of\u00a0 revenue to pursue its agenda, some stakeholders have been faulting the state and under reporting their case. So this measure is to ensure that we raise additional revenue and to curb the infiltration of smuggled products from the market,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: Ghana\/Starrfmonline.com<\/p>\n<div class=\"bsac bsac-clearfix bsac-post-bottom bsac-float-center bsac-align-center bsac-column-1\">\n<div id=\"bsac-268363-533064877\" class=\"bsac-container bsac-type-image \" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WPAdBlock\" data-adid=\"268363\" data-type=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bsac-image\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Newmont-telesol.gif\" alt=\"Homepage Header Ad\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.10&appId=1136575713042949\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><script>\n\t\t\t(function () {<\/p>\n<p>    function appendFbScript() {\n        var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk',\n            fjs = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];<\/p>\n<p>        if (document.getElementById(id)) return;\n        js = document.createElement('script');\n        js.id = id;\n        js.src = \"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=298184353996497&version=v2.0\";\n        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);<\/p>\n<p>        window.fbAsyncInit = function () {\n            FB.init({\n                appId: '298184353996497',\n                xfbml: true,\n                version: 'v2.0'\n            });\n            FB.Event.subscribe('comment.create', function (comment_data) {\n                console.log(comment_data);\n                update_comments_count();\n            });\n            FB.Event.subscribe('comment.remove', function (comment_data) {\n                update_comments_count();\n            });<\/p>\n<p>            function update_comments_count(comment_data, comment_action) {\n                jQuery.ajax({\n                        type: 'GET',\n                        dataType: 'json',\n                        url: 'http:\/\/starrfmonline.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php',\n                        data: {\n                            action: 'clear_better_facebook_comments',\n                            post_id: '286597'\n                        },\n                        success: function (data) {\n                            \/\/ todo sync comments count here! data have the counts\n                        },\n                        error: function (i, b) {\n                            \/\/ todo\n                        }\n                    }\n                )\n            };\n        };<\/p>\n<p>        appendFbScript();\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    appendFbScript();<\/p>\n<p>})();\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Enforcement team of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has hit town to inspect and ensure compliance with the Excise Tax Stamp which is to be affixed on all excisable products by today, 1st March, 2018.
