Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, has announced that the authority will begin visiting businesses and markets nationwide from Monday to inspect VAT compliance.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Sarpong said the exercise is part of efforts to ensure that businesses issue VAT receipts and remit the tax appropriately, particularly as the festive season approaches and commercial activity increases.
“As Christmas is approaching, it’s a busy season. From Monday, we will go round to ensure VAT is being paid. We urge everyone to comply because those who are not applying VAT on their receipts will be sanctioned,” he cautioned.
He also encouraged customers to always demand VAT receipts, noting that doing so makes verification easier and helps strengthen national revenue mobilisation.
“Pay your tax so we can build Ghana together,” he added.
