Renewal Of Professional Practicing Licences

The Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) wishes to remind the Governing Councils of Professional Bodies of the provisions in the Revenue Administration Act 2016, (Act 915), which enjoins them to demand Tax Clearance Certificates (TCCs) from their members before renewing their professional practicing licences.

Reference is made specifically to the First Schedule, Part Two of the Revenue Administration Act which states that professional bodies are to make this a pre-requisite for the renewal of practicing licences.

All Governing Councils of Professional Bodies such as lawyers, accountants, doctors, engineers, architects etc. must take note of this reminder and comply accordingly.

Failure to comply with this provision is an offence punishable by law and will be strictly enforced by the Commissioner-General.
