The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is currently finalizing the development of an online platform for auctioning vehicles and goods at the Tema port.
The platform, known as the E-Auction will eliminate corruption associated with auctioning of goods at the ports.
Commissioner-General of the GRA, Rev Amisshadai Owusu Amoah stated that prospective vehicle buyers will be able to go online to make their purchases without appearing physically by the end of this month.
“We’re working to improve our services through various online and technology platforms such as that customers will feel comfortable dealing with us”. he stated.
“We have the E-VAT, E-invoicing and other innovative means which customers are able to pay taxes and avoid some alleged corruption in our various offices. Another initiative is that by the end of October, we want to begin an E-Auction at the ports so that if you want to buy a car, just be home and click to search the kind of car you want without coming to the port”. he added.
Customers using the E-Auction will be able to make payments immediately after an auction is electronically approved.
