\nThe GRA and The Multimedia Group expressed their commitment to deepen cooperation to increase the culture of paying taxes and filing returns <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has reiterated its resolve to widen the tax net through intense public education and the use of technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Authority said this when it paid a courtesy call on The Multimedia Group, Tuesday. Both parties expressed their commitment to deepen cooperation to increase the culture of paying taxes and filing returns in the corporate world.<\/p>\n
Board Chair of the GRA, Professor Stephen Addai said measures were being introduced by the GRA to shore up revenue as the Authority is targeting 17 to 20 per cent in revenue to Gross Domestic Product.<\/p>\n
The measures include a close partnership with the media.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a need for proper communication from us [GRA]\u00a0and through you. We want to have a new GRA which is fair and friendly because if the average Ghanaian sees that payment of taxes is civic responsibility, we will all be better off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Professor Stephen Addai said measures were being introduced by the GRA to shore up revenue <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Acting Commissioner-General of the GRA, Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah cited technology as a major tool the GRA is employing to rake in more revenue for the State.<\/p>\n
With government targeting GH\u00a242 billion in domestic revenue for 2019, Mr Owusu-Amoah said the role of technology is unmatched.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs part of our reforms to change the face of revenue collection we are modernising and paying close attention to technology. By this we hope to widen the tax net and generally improve government revenue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Acting Commissioner-General of the GRA, Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah cited technology as a major tool the GRA is employing to rake in more revenue for the State <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Receiving the delegation on behalf of The Multimedia Group, Chief Operating Officer of Multimedia \u2013 Radio and Digital Media, Ken Ansah, expressed Multimedia\u2019s preparedness to support the GRA with tax education campaigns.<\/p>\n
The visit by\u00a0the GRA\u00a0to The Multimedia Group was the first of series of engagements with media outlets.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
