GRA urges other businesses to emulate KGL by honouring tax obligations

Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has commended KGL Group of Companies for taking the lead to honour their tax obligations. The Commissioner-General, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, made the call during the official presentation of over GH¢153 million in tax payments by the KGL Group. Mr. Sarpong emphasized that the gesture should serve as a wake-up call and a standard for all taxpayers across the country.

The GRA has also called on all Ghanaians, individuals, businesses, and corporate entities to honour their tax obligations, stressing that national development depended on individual and collective responsibilities. Mr. Sarpong urged citizens to take advantage of the ongoing tax filing period to regularize their tax affairs. He added that the Authority was working to make tax payment more convenient, transparent, and fair through ongoing reforms. Mr. Sarpong challenged Ghanaian-owned businesses in particular to lead by example. He said, "GRA stands for Ghana First," and that vision can only be realized when taxpayers also demonstrate that they know their obligations and are willing to meet them."

Alex Dadey, Executive Chairman of KGL Group, reaffirmed the company's commitment to responsible corporate conduct, describing tax payment as a duty owed to the people of Ghana. He said, "Taxes belong to the people," and "We are only returning what rightfully belongs to them." He encouraged fellow business leaders to match their expectations of government with discipline and accountability.
