GRA justifies the decision to tax MCs, bloggers, and brand influencers

Ghana is one of the nations where the taxes of revenue made in the digital world has come up for consideration.

Edward Gyambra, the Commissioner in charge of the GRA's domestic tax revenue division, highlighted that the growth of the tax base does not require the imposition of new taxes.

He believes it is just for companies that are making money to pay their fair share into the government's budget.

He clarified that whether a business is online or offline, the GRA merely widens the tax base to encompass all entities.

If you recall, we also introduced our e-commerce taxation last year. As part of our effort to get online people to pay taxes, all of these players will be held accountable to ensure that they contribute their fair share of taxes to the nation. "Some people doing business online is something that is on the blog globally.

We are not adding a new tax; rather, we are broadening the tax base. We will tax your money if you sit in front of a computer and create material because all income you receive from a business is taxable, the official continued.
