Explaining why individuals and companies need to file their taxes, Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah said, “if you are going for a contract you are required to bring a tax clearance certificate, but there are a number of government services that if you look at the Revenue Administration Act, it also lists and it mentions that you must either have a tax identification number or a tax clearance certificate."
“These are the two options but we want to emphasize the tax clearance or compliance status instead of just emphasizing on the identification. What we are aiming as GRA is to make the ability to tax compliance easy,” he added.
