GRA positioning itself to provide enhanced services — Blankson
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) is modernizing
its structures and systems to ensure an effective
and efficient delivery of services to its
clientele.

According to the Commissioner General of GRA,
George Blankson, the modernization is aimed at
positioning the revenue agency to better serve
tax-payers, and also align with best international
practices in revenue administration.

To this end, he said, the Authority is working to
upgrade its training academy at Kpetoe in the
Volta region into a model Revenue University to
provide specialized training for revenue officers
within Ghana and the West African sub-region.

Mr. Blackson was speaking at the inauguration of
some infrastructure projects at the Kpetoe GRA
training academy.

They include a new administration block, a lecture
block as well as male and female hostels, all
estimated at the cost of Ghc12.6 million.

The new facilities, the GRA boss noted, will not
only provide a conducive environment for training
of staff but gradually positioning the Academy as
a centre of excellence.

He said “our vision to upgrade this academy
which was solely a custom training facility into a
modern revenue university for tax purposes not
only in Ghana but the whole West African
Sub-region, is slowly materializing,” calling
for cooperation of all in the attainment of the
vision.
