The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is ramping up initiatives to enhance tax collection and ensure greater compliance through the use of technology, aligning with the government’s broader agenda to reset the nation’s economy.

Acting Commissioner-General Anthony Kwasi Sarpong has outlined a comprehensive strategy focusing on broadening the tax net, achieving an ambitious revenue target of GH¢200 billion in 2025, and implementing business-friendly reforms to foster voluntary compliance.

Speaking during an X Space discussion co-hosted by the High Street Journel, IMANI Ghana and NorvanReports on the theme “Resetting Ghana’s Revenue Mobilization,” on Tuesday, May 7, 2025, Mr. Sarpong emphasized the need for the GRA to put in measures to effectively mobilize the needed revenue for government.

“Taxpayers are our customers and we must build public trust and confidence in the tax system. When that happens, we can mobilise the needed revenue to support the nation’s reset agenda,” Mr Sarpong stated.

A cornerstone of the GRA’s renewed strategy is the expansion of the tax base to include sectors and individuals previously outside the formal tax system. This initiative involves leveraging technology and data integration to identify and bring more taxpayers into the fold.

“Through data analytics and integrations with other institutions, we can now identify registered businesses and individuals and match their activities with tax obligations,” he stated. “The same goes for the informal sector, which we are targeting through mobile money transactions and other data points.”

Collaborations with key institutions such as the Registrar of Companies and the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) will be central to this effort.

“We have commenced discussions with the Registrar of Companies to ensure that every business and individual registered with them is connected to our database,” Mr. Sarpong noted. “… it is essential that we connect with an institution like SSNIT to identify these businesses and ensure compliance.”

Additionally, the revenue collector has set an ambitious target to raise at least GH¢200 billion in tax revenue by the end of 2025, a significant increase from the GH¢153 billion collected in 2024. This target is part of a medium-term strategy to boost domestic revenue mobilisation and increase the country’s tax-to-GDP ratio.
