The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has set a target of GH¢310 billion in tax revenue by 2028, representing a doubling of the GH¢155 billion collected in 2024.
The revenue mobilisation goal forms part of a medium-term strategy by the tax authority to improve compliance, broaden the tax base and minimise revenue leakages without increasing existing tax rates.
Commissioner-General of the GRA, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, disclosed the target at the Annual Tax Conference in Accra on Wednesday, August 19, where policymakers, tax experts and industry stakeholders discussed measures to strengthen Ghana’s tax administration.
Mr Sarpong said the strategy was aimed at boosting domestic revenue to finance government programmes and reduce reliance on borrowing.
He said the GRA had developed a clear revenue mobilisation roadmap with specific targets for each year leading to 2028.
According to him, the authority collected GH¢182 billion in 2025 and is targeting GH¢225 billion in 2026.
The figure is expected to rise to about GH¢260 billion in 2027 before reaching the ultimate target of GH¢310 billion in 2028.
“We are on a decisive trajectory to double the tax revenue we raised in 2024, which was GH¢155 billion, to GH¢310 billion by 2028,” Mr Sarpong said.
He explained that achieving the target would depend largely on strengthening tax compliance, bringing more economic activities into the tax net and leveraging technology to improve revenue collection.
The GRA is also expected to intensify efforts to identify and close revenue leakages as part of the broader strategy to increase domestic revenue mobilisation.
The Commissioner-General said the authority remained committed to implementing the roadmap to ensure that the country generates sufficient domestic resources to support national development.
