- The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has inaugurated a 26-member National VAT Compliance and Enforcement Team to strengthen VAT compliance and enforcement.
- The team, chaired by Dr. Martin Kolbil Yamborigya, includes experts in audit, investigation, intelligence, legal enforcement, and taxpayer services.
- The initiative follows recent VAT reforms and the passage of a new VAT Act effective January 1, 2026, aimed at boosting domestic revenue.
- Current data shows a 60% VAT compliance gap, with only 4 out of 10 registered taxpayers fulfilling their obligations.
- The GRA will use both education and enforcement, including data analytics and on-site checks, to improve compliance, and plans to introduce automation and a taxpayer reward scheme in 2026.
