The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has surpassed its revenue target in the first quarter of the year, recording GH¢41 billion.
The target for quarter one was GH¢36 billion. Acting Commissioner-General of the GRA, Anthony Akwasi Sarpong, says the Authority is adopting strategic measures, including widening the tax base to include the informal sector, especially in the Ashanti region.
Meanwhile, the Authority is targeting to generate at least GH¢220 billion in revenue for the country by the end of the year.
Mr. Sarpong made the revelation during a visit to the Ashanti region’s Tax Services Centre to pay a working visit to the staff.
