Ghana Collects Only 40% of VAT Potential, Says GRA Commissioner-General

Ghana currently collects only about 40% of its VAT potential, leaving 60% uncollected due to non-compliance and inefficiencies.
The GRA aims to address this gap through improved compliance and enhanced revenue collection strategies.
The GRA has been tasked with raising GH¢230 billion in revenue for 2026, an ambitious but necessary target.
The Commissioner-General is confident that with a renewed focus on compliance and performance, VAT collection can be significantly improved to support national development.
