According to the statement, the historic partnership between GRA and NLA is aimed at enhancing the revenue mobilization efforts of Government for national socio-economic development.
The VAT Raffle, a first of its kind in Ghana is expected to:
- Ensure Voluntary Tax Compliance in all sectors of the Ghanaian Economy.
- Improve VAT Penetration and wholly acceptance in the Country.
- Strengthen the Provision of Digital Services, e-commerce and the overall Digitalization agenda of Government.
- Fast track the implementation of the much anticipated Cashlite Society in Ghana.
