In order to understand its operations and the emerging taxation issues, the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has organised a two-day training workshop for the members of Private Newspaper Publishers Association of Ghana (PRINPAG) including journalists to enable them to give accurate reportage.<\/p>\n

The workshop highlighted areas of the GRA\u2019s operations such as the Significance of the tax payer, dedicated TIN, tax evasion and its consequence on nation building, the impact of tax waivers on Ghana\u2019s economy, amongst others.<\/p>\n

\n

The training was on the theme \u2018Bringing the Informal Sector into the tax Net: The role of the media\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Addressing the media, the Commissioner General of the Ghana Revenue Authority, Emmanuel Kofi Nti said, the role of the media in nation building cannot be overemphasized and so there is the need to update journalists on issues on its operations to enable them educate the public on the Authority\u2019s interventions and to ensure effective tax collection to build a better country.<\/p>\n
