Management of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has assured the business community of reforms in its revenue mobilization drive.
According to the authority the ‘rambo style’ ways of tax mobilization is a thing of the past now.
Addressing the members of the press corps during a workshop on operations of the authority, Deputy Commissioner in charge of operations, Daniel Edisi stated his outfit is more focused on engagements with taxpayers instead of the deployment of force.
“Now GRA is customer-centric and please carry this message across and let’s work together because without taxes, we can’t grow our nation. We can’t do anything. We go out there to collect loans and other things. It is somebody’s citizens that has paid the tax. We also must endeavour to pay.
“GRA is ready to educate, to use channels like this to be able to reach out there for us to see the importance of taxation,” he said.
He added that the workshop will help the public understand GRA’s role as a partner in development and not a harassing agency.
