This month focuses on Tax & Good Governance, especially online filing for personal income tax returns. The GRA aims to improve compliance through various strategies.

Sarpong praised GRA officials for their dedication over the past months. Their efforts helped exceed targets for the first quarter.

He assured that the government is committed to creating a friendlier business environment. This will help businesses profit more and file taxes accurately.
