The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has assured businesses and taxpayers that it is taking steps to maintain essential tax and customs services despite the heavy rains and flooding affecting parts of Accra and other areas of the country.
In a press release issued on Monday, June 29, 2026, the GRA acknowledged that the severe weather could disrupt transportation, delay the movement of goods, affect business operations and place additional pressure on businesses striving to meet customer and regulatory obligations.
The Authority, however, said measures have been put in place to ensure service continuity across the country’s ports, border posts and Taxpayer Service Centres (TSCs).
According to the GRA, its priority is to keep legitimate trade moving, minimise avoidable disruptions and continue serving taxpayers efficiently throughout the period of adverse weather.
The Commissioner-General of the Authority encouraged businesses to plan ahead, make use of the GRA’s digital platforms where possible, and factor in potential transportation delays as the rains persist.
The GRA also urged employers to prioritise the safety of their workers, stressing that no business activity is more important than protecting lives.
“The GRA is committed to supporting businesses during this period by maintaining service continuity and protecting the revenue that supports national development,” the statement said.
The Authority wished taxpayers a safe week and advised the public to follow guidance issued by the relevant emergency response and weather authorities as forecasts indicate that further rainfall is expected in the coming days.
