The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has revealed that nine institutions owe the state a total 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, GRA Commissioner-General Anthony Kwasi Sarpong said the Authority is actively pursuing the recovery of these outstanding amounts.
Topping the list of debtors is the state-owned Graphic Communications Group, which owes GH¢3.4 million, followed by GIHOC Distilleries with GH¢2.1 million. The Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) also features among the institutions, with an outstanding tax liability of GH¢136,000.
According to GRA officials, most of the indebted institutions particularly state-owned enterprises have cited ongoing cash flow difficulties as the reason for their inability to meet their tax obligations.
In addition to the GH¢47 million owed by the nine institutions, the GRA also disclosed that unpaid Value Added Tax (VAT) liabilities across various sectors currently amount to GH¢116 million. This was confirmed by the Commissioner for Domestic Tax Revenue, Edward Apenteng Gyamerah.
