The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has strongly refuted claims of vehicle auctions, describing them as false.
In a statement issued on December 11, the GRA clarified that the information circulating about a vehicle auction, purportedly released by the Commissioner-General of the GRA, was a fake notice.
The statement pointed out that the alleged media release, dated December 3, 2024, incorrectly bore the signature of the former Commissioner-General, Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, while also listing the current Commissioner-General, Madam Julie Essiam.
The GRA emphasised that the notice was fabricated and did not originate from the authority.
According to the GRA, there are established procedures for the auction of vehicles and goods by the Customs Division, and such auctions do not require payment of a registration fee.
The GRA has warned the public not to make payments to anyone based on the fake media release.
It noted, “The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has sighted a fake media release on a vehicle auction dated December 3, 2024, purported to be coming from the Commissioner-General of the GRA. The fake media release bears the signature of the former Commissioner-General, Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah but has the name of the current Commissioner
General, Madam Julie Essiam. GRA wishes to inform the general public that the notice circulating in the public domain is FAKE.”
