The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) says it has exceeded its revenue target in the first quarter of the year, recording GH¢41 billion.
The Commission indicated that its target for the quarter was GH¢36 billion.
Acting Commissioner-General of the GRA, Anthony Akwasi Sarpong, disclosed this during a visit to the Ashanti region’s Tax Services Centre to pay a working visit to the staff.
According to him, the Authority is adopting strategic measures, including widening the tax base to include the informal sector, especially in the Ashanti region.
The meeting is part of efforts streamlined by the management to familiarise with operations of the various collection points under the authority.
He said that the GRA’s target for the year is GH¢220 billion in revenue.
“Our first quarter performance has been impressive with an improved generation from the Ashanti region, and we have to build upon that to meet our set target for the year. We have been given a GH¢220 billion target in the budget, and we’re very positive about crossing this target.”
“For the first quarter [2025], the budget set was GH¢36 billion, but I’m happy to announce that we have raked in GH¢41 billion by the end of the quarter, and this is an improvement,” he added.
