Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia Thursday launched three initiatives of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), including the Electronic Tax Compliance Certificate (E-TCC), to promote tax payment and increase domestic revenue mobilisation.<\/b><\/p>\n

The other initiatives are the Tax Compliance Short Code *880#, and Online Tax Returns Filing.<\/p>\n

These are also aimed at making tax compliance and payments easy and convenient at the comfort of the home or office.<\/p>\n

For instance, the E-TCC is documentary evidence issued by the Commissioner-General of GRA to confirm that the taxpayer is up to date with payments and has met all applicable tax obligations at the date of issue.<\/p>\n

These electronic systems would enable taxpayers to seamlessly and conveniently use the GRA\u2019s taxpayers\u2019 portal (www.taxpayersportal.com) to file their tax returns, apply for tax compliance certificates, and make payments using their personal computers, mobile phones or tablets.<\/p>\n

At the launch of the initiatives in Accra, Vice President Bawumia said it would provide a shift in attitude towards tax payments and enhance compliance in both the formal and informal sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n

These will help promote transparency and accountability as well as minimise corruption in the country.<\/p>\n

Dr Bawumia said taxes were the lifeblood of any country, which helped to build nations and, thus, lauded the GRA for buying into government\u2019s digitalisation agenda to promote national development and economic growth.<\/p>\n

The Vice President expressed confidence that the initiatives would assist in increasing Ghana\u2019s tax to GDP ratio of 13 per cent to 18-20 per cent within the shortest possible time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we faithfully declare our taxes, we\u2019ll be in a position to hold government accountable on what our tax money is being used for.<\/p>\n

Let us join hands together to develop our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Bawumia declared April as \u2018Tax and Good Governance Month\u2019 and urged the GRA to pay attention to individuals and businesses who did not file their tax returns to widen the country\u2019s tax net.<\/p>\n

He highlighted some of the Government\u2019s digitalisation programmes that had made a tremendous impact on revenue collection efforts.<\/p>\n

The Ghana.gov portal, digital property addressing system, Ghana-Card, paperless port system, and the mobile money interoperability payment system, which had placed Ghana on top of the financially inclusive nations in Africa, are examples.<\/p>\n

Reverend Dr Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, the Commissioner-General, GRA, in his welcome remarks, said the Authority, in 2019, embarked on a transformational agenda, focusing on three key pillars \u2013 people, technology and service.<\/p>\n

The Authority, for instance, began leveraging on technology to identify and simplify procedures and processes for tax payments.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, entreated taxpayers and businesses to embrace the GRA\u2019s digital portals to file tax returns, initiate payments and access other tax related services.<\/p>\n

Mr Theophilus Kwesi Ehun, a Senior Revenue Officer, Domestic Tax Revenue Division, educated the public on the uses and benefits of the three new initiatives.<\/p>\n
