The Ghana Revenue Authority has stated it will not pay unvalidated judgment debts from tax revenue. This assurance comes after a High Court order.
The Authority issued a statement on September 15. It explained its position on protecting tax funds.
The Tax Refund Account is legally protected. This protection comes from the Revenue Administration Act, 2016. This account is specifically for legitimate refunds to taxpayers.
The GRA maintains its commitment to safeguarding public funds. It will ensure that only verified and lawful claims are processed.
This action aims to prevent the misuse of taxpayer money. It reinforces the GRA's role in managing national revenue responsibly.
The GRA's stance is clear. Unvalidated debts will not be paid from the Tax Refund Account.
