A lot of Ghanaians continue to get frustrated in their attempt to register for a Tax Identification Number (TIN), despite the wide public education.

TIN was introduced by government to track tax obligations and payments as a way of shoring up its domestic revenue generation.

As a result, all persons and entities who have any dealings with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), are required to register for a TIN for free of charge from any GRA office.

Government has also warned that individuals without TIN will be deprived of some essential services and social intervention programs.

But it seems listeners who called into the Citi Breakfast Show on Thursday are yet to come to terms with the unnecessary  pressure and frustration that comes with what government has imposed on them.

Some also took to social media to express their disappointment over the bottlenecks that have characterized the issuance of the numbers.

Others also alleged that some officials of the GRA, demand payment for the service which is supposed to be free.

“At the Tamale Regional Office, if you do not pay Ghc 10.00 after registration, your TIN will never be given to you.  They are still doing it, so what officials are saying are not factual.”
