Abesim, (B/A), Sept. 24, GNA - The Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority in Brong-Ahafo Region has exceeded its revenue target for 2016, raking in GH¢5,293,741 as at the middle of the year.
Assistant Commissioner Malik Mahama, the Brong-Ahafo Regional Commander of Customs, said the figure represented 23.80 percent of the year's revenue target of GH¢4,280,000.00.
He was speaking at a tax education forum organised by the Division for staff, exporters, importers and other stakeholders in the sector at Abesim, near Sunyani.
The forum was on the theme: "Honouring tax obligation is a sign of good citizenship".
Assistant Commissioner Mahama commended officers and staff for their dedication to duty and expressed the optimism that the Division would rake in more than 60 percent of the revenue target for the year.
He said tax evasion and smuggling are serious offences punishable by law and urged importers and exporters to ensure that they adhere to all clearance procedures.
