“Some of these tax payers who are supposed to be hooked on to the Commissioner General’s invoicing system are not fully complying with the directive and we realized  that some were issuing invoices outside the system and this is an infraction of the law” he said.

He explained that operations is a continuation of the electronic VAT enrollment system which was introduced by the Authority in the last quarter of 2022.

Meanwhile, Enforcement Manager in charge of Accra at the GRA, Joseph Annan disclosed that all the managers who have been arrested will be made to face the law court.

“We’re expected to begin prosecution on them immediately because they want to take us for granted” he said.

The exercise is expected to continue until all the selected shops for the e-VAT system comply with the law.
