VAT Evasion: Chinese Mall Operators in Ghana Arrested
Three managers of the Spintex Road China Mall, Sneda Shopping and the Junction Mall Shoprite have been arrested on Monday.
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has arrested three managers of shopping malls in Ghana for evading tax. According to the GRA, several taxpayers in the country have failed to file their returns through the authority’s certified invoicing system thus starving the state of the necessary resources for its developmental agenda.
The GRA is on a special operation to clamp down on companies defaulting on their tax obligations.
GRA is yet to disclose the total sum owed to the state by the said companies. The move has generated reactions online.
