- The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is enforcing compliance with the Value Added Tax (VAT) law by checking the issuance of fiscal receipts and invoices by companies.
- Non-issuance of fiscal receipts and invoices is a criminal offense and can lead to prosecution under the Revenue Administration Act.
- Suppliers of taxable items, goods, or services are required by law to issue fiscal receipts and invoices, and customers are required to obtain them for goods purchased.
- Offenses include non-issuance, issuance of incorrect receipts, selective issuance, and failure to comply with the E-VAT system.
- Punishments for these offenses include fines, imprisonment, and penalty payments.
- The GRA is modernizing its tax system with the implementation of the second phase of the E-VAT system, aiming to streamline tax processes and enhance revenue collection.
- Taxpayers are urged to comply with the E-VAT system, and the GRA will provide support and guidance for implementation.
