GRAWU urges MoF, govt for support in tax collection

The Ghana Revenue Authority Workers Union (GRAWU) has called on the Ministry of Finance and the government to support GRA in its tax collection efforts.

The call was made by the Chairman of GRAWU, Theophilus Kwesi Ehun, during the 10th National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.

The NEC meeting, which focused on the theme “Transparency and Fairness in Tax System Revenue Mobilization: The Role of Labor,” aimed to promote transparency and efficient tax administration. Ehun emphasized that the success of tax collection in the country can be attributed to the dedication and commitment demonstrated by GRA staff.

He urged the government and relevant authorities to support GRAWU by providing the necessary technology and resources to facilitate efficient revenue collection.

Mr. Ehun also extended an open invitation to the government for engagement and collaboration on strategies and ideas that could further enhance tax administration.

Ehun highlighted the importance of GRA’s role in the economy, stating that without GRA, the union would not exist, and the economy would struggle to thrive.

He said, “Help us in revenue mobilization drive, support us with the right technology that we will need to enable us to collect revenue. And we extend the same also to the government that as labor, our doors are opened for engagement. Whatever strategy, whatever idea that it is that will help our work, that is what we stand to do. Without GRA, we have no union, and without GRA, the economy cannot also thrive. So we call on the government that our doors are opened.”
