The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has gone digitalized and cashless. This means that there is no need for you to visit the tax office for payment because they have stopped accepting cheques and cash. The Authority is encouraging every taxpayer to make good use of the portal when filing and making payments of taxes.
Someone may ask “What is the use of tax”? The answer to this question is, the taxes we pay helps in developing the nation. “The tax money also helps to ensure that government infrastructure, such as hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, bridges, etc. are well-built and well-maintained. The income tax is one of the biggest sources of income for the Ghanaian government” stated GRA.
In a post sighted by TheGhanaTech.com, “All Taxpayers must file a return on income not later than four (4) months after the end of the year. The return must be in a prescribed form indicating the assessable income, chargeable income, the tax payable, tax paid and any remainder to be paid” stated Ghana Revenue Authority.
