The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has urged the public not to believe reports that it is hiring citing the fake news that is circulating on social media.
In a statement, the GRA called the reports on social media “fake” and further added that such notices should be ignored because it is not recruiting.
As a result, the GRA has cautioned the general public not to engage any individual or entity pretending to be recruiting on its behalf.
A press statement from GRA reads;
GRA is not recruiting and those who deal with such individuals do so at their own risk
Meanwhile, the GRA wishes to remind all income-earning individuals including self-employed persons and partnerships; Companies, Entities and all taxpayers that by virtue of the Income Tax Act, 2015 (Act 896) and the Revenue Administration Act, 2016 (Act 915), they are required to file a return of income with the Commissioner-General not later than four months after the end of each year of assessment.
For example, individuals, Companies, Entities and all taxpayers whose accounting year ends on 31st December, 2021 are to submit their Annual Return of Income for the 2021 year of assessment and other outstanding returns by 30th April, 2022.
“We further encourage all taxpayers to file their returns electronically via the Ghana.gov platform. The Ghana.gov platform can be accessed online and via the GRA website, www.gra.gov.gh“
The general public is reminded that the penalty for failure to file a tax return by the due date is Five Hundred Ghana Cedis (GH₵500) and a further penalty of Ten Ghana Cedis (GH₵10) for each day the failure continues.
