The Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority brings to the notice of the general public, especially taxpayers that Parliament has passed three new tax laws and amended two existing laws to be implemented in 2021.
We wish to inform the general public that, effective April 1, 2021, the Ghana card Personal Identification Number (Ghana card PIN) will replace the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of individuals issued by the GRA for tax identification purposes. This change is in line with Government’s policy on the use of a unique identifier for all transactions where the identification of an individual is required.
The Commissioner-General of Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) wishes to remind the governing councils of Professional bodies of the provisions in the Revenue Administration Act (RAA) 2016, Act 915, which requires them to demand Tax Clearance Certificates (TCC) from their members before renewing their professional practising licences.
The attention of the Ghana Revenue Authority has been drawn to information being circulated in the media about a consignment of goods that was seized by the Customs Division at the Tema port on Friday 9th October 2020.
The Customs Division of the GRA wishes to put on record that:
The container described on arrival at the Tema port as containing Personal Effects, Household Goods and a Carding Machine was flagged as ‘Red Channel”. After examination, eighteen (18) packages identified as restricted items were found in the container. These include 436 Pistols (Side Arms), 26 packs of 50 pieces of Ammunition and 1 (40ml) piece of Pepper Spray.
The Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) will start the full implementation of Article 5 of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Protocol on the FREE MOVEMENT OF PERSONS, RESIDENCE AND ESTABLISHMENT (Protocol A/P.1/5/79) from 1st May, 2019.
