What They’re Saying
“We have established an online portal which many online businesses have registered and I’m sure some of you have come across getting VAT whenever you do a Google transaction. And I must mention that in the last six months, we have collected about GHC 440 million from some of these e-commerce platforms”, Commissioner General of the GRA, Rev. Dr. Ammisshadai Owusu Amoah stated.
“Now these platforms work through payment providers in Ghana which are also required to register with the Central Bank and given some additional requirements that must be met before being able to carry out their businesses,” he noted.
