The Commissioner-General of GRA, George Blankson, in his statement said the GRA’s attention has been drawn to Mobile phone operators because of the massive contravention of the VAT and income tax laws.
“The GRA has noted with concern that persons who deal in mobile phones and accessories have failed to charge VAT as required by law”.
