‘GRA has become like a terrorist organisation’ Alhassan Andani critiques tax regime [Video]

A former CEO of Stanbic Bank, Alhassan Andani, expressed sharp criticism of the tax administration, describing the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) as operating like a “terrorist organization” in its dealings with businesses.

Speaking at the recent Ghana CEO-Presidential Gala Dinner, Mr. Andani argued that Ghana’s current tax system is suffocating the private sector, hindering business growth, and fueling corruption.

“I know a number of organizations; when GRA gets into their space, it’s as if they deliberately do it in order to wriggle people’s arms to take money,” he said.
