A tax analyst, Francis Timore Boi says replacement of the Tax Identification Number (TIN) with the Ghana Card number for tax identification purposes by the Ghana Revenue Authority will not necessarily result in the exponential growth in the country's domestic revenues.
According to him, more needs to be done to ensure that those who are identified as new taxpayers actually pay their taxes.
The government announced a replacement of the TIN with the Ghana card number as part of efforts to identify and rope in more eligible taxpayers, especially those in the informal sector and enable organizations to easily share important data with the Ghana Revenue Authority.
