The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has revealed that nine institutions are indebted to the state to the tune of GH¢47 million in unpaid taxes as of the end of 2023.
Appearing before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Monday, August 25, 2025, the Commissioner-General, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, disclosed that the Authority is already pursuing measures to recover the outstanding amounts.
According to the GRA, the Graphic Communications Group tops the list with a debt of GH¢3.4 million, followed by GIHOC Distilleries with a debt of GH¢2.1 million. The Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) also owes GH¢136,000.
The Authority’s management explained that many of the indebted institutions, particularly state-owned enterprises, have cited persistent cash flow challenges as the reason for their inability to meet their tax obligations.
In addition to the GH¢47 million, the Commissioner for Domestic Tax Revenue, Edward Apenteng Gyamerah, confirmed that unpaid Value Added Tax (VAT) liabilities amounting to GH¢116 million remain outstanding.
Mr. Sarpong assured the Committee that the GRA is intensifying recovery efforts and strengthening compliance measures across all sectors to ensure taxes due the state are fully collected.
