GRA educates GREPA on taxes


The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has held a two-day education to their members of the Ghana Real Estate Professionals Association on taxes related to the real estate industry.

The series of training which began Friday 4th of March 2022 saw GREPA members excited about Ghana's tax regime.

The real estate professionals have over the past decade been advocating for legislation and a regulatory body for the real estate industry.

Thankfully the real estate agency act 1047 got passed in December 2020, which serves as the background for which these industry professionals are committed to perform their civic responsibility, knowing that the industry taxes presents an opportunity for its professional members to become familiar with their tax obligations.
