Commissioner-General of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, has revealed that the authority has introduced a satellite-based tracking system to ensure landlords comply with rental tax obligations.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Sarpong explained that under existing law, commercial properties attract a 15% rental tax, while private residential properties are taxed at 8%. Landlords are required to deduct the tax from rent paid by tenants.
He further disclosed that the GRA is collaborating with the Real Estate Agency Council to access data on rented properties across the country, a move aimed at identifying landlords who fail to pay the mandated tax.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
