The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has handed over some managers of three facilities to the CID Unit of the Ghana Police Service for an investigation into non-compliance with the country\u2019s tax law.<\/p>\n
The facilities are Champion Dishes, a Restaurant at Adabraka, Grace Has Found Us and Celeb\u2019s all at Dansoman were found not to be issuing the Commissioner-General\u2019s invoice.<\/p>\n
Mr Joseph Annan, Area Enforcement Manager of GRA in charge of Accra Central, told the Ghana News Agency that they had violated regulations of the Value Added Tax (VAT).<\/p>\n
He said the exercise or operations were part of an ongoing nationwide VAT Invigilation exercise by the authority to retrieve some taxes due the State.<\/p>\n
He said the Police would do their investigations, but for them as tax administrators, \u201cwe will assess their books and then apply all the penalties and interest that are applicable.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said it was an offence not to issue the VAT invoice and the law would take its own course.<\/p>\n
Mr Annan said the\u00a0GRA as part of a nationwide invigilation would continue to embark on mystery shopping exercises across the country to apprehend culprits evading tax.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue this exercise until our taxpayers do the needful,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He said the Authority in their auditing process would conduct a pre-emptive assessment, which meant that they would have to pay immediately, but then they would recommend a full audit to be conducted.<\/p>\n
Mr Annan said even though they would audit their books, the legal aspect would be handled by the CID, where they would prepare their docket for possible prosecution.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
