The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has revealed that nine institutions collectively owed the state GH¢47 million in unpaid taxes as of December 2023.
Appearing before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Monday, August 25, 2025, Commissioner-General Anthony Kwasi Sarpong said measures are underway to recover the arrears.
Topping the debtors’ list is the Graphic Communications Group with GH¢3.4 million, followed by GIHOC Distilleries with GH¢2.1 million. The Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) also owes GH¢136,000.
The GRA noted that most of the indebted institutions, especially state-owned enterprises, blamed their default on persistent cash flow challenges.
In addition, the Authority disclosed that Value Added Tax (VAT) arrears amounting to GH¢116 million remain unpaid. This was confirmed by the Commissioner for Domestic Tax Revenue, Edward Apenteng Gyamerah.
Mr. Sarpong assured the Committee that the GRA is tightening enforcement measures to recover the debts and improve compliance.
