The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has announced that it collected approximately GH₵41 billion in taxes during the first quarter of the year, surpassing its target of GH₵39 billion.
According to the Acting Commissioner-General of the GRA, Anthony Sarpong, the performance across regions was commendable, with some regions exceeding expectations.
“I must say that the entire tax performance for the country as a whole was impressive. For the Ashanti Region, they have exceeded the target that we gave to them,” Sarpong said.
He emphasized the need for sustained effort to ensure the national target is met by the end of the year.
“I have already mentioned to them that it is the beginning, and I do want to expect that, as we have done in the first quarter, they will also deliver in the remaining quarter towards the entire national target,” he added.
Highlighting the scale of the achievement, Sarpong noted: “In the first quarter, the budget gave us GH₵39 billion, but I am happy to announce that we recorded GH₵41 billion for the first quarter.”
