Mr. Paul Evans Aidoo, Western Regional Minister, on Tuesday called on tax officers to jealously guard against pilfering, under-invoicing and all negations to ensure an effective tax system for the country.
He made the call in an address read for him at a tax education seminar organized by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at Takoradi.
The seminar was under the theme, �Integration of Revenue Agencies: A One-Stop Service for Taxpayers�. Mr. Aidoo said tax officers must endeavour to simplify tax policies so that the citizenry would willingly pay taxes.
He said this would also enable them to find out whether government is using their taxes judiciously adding, �By so doing, taxpayers would have no doubt in their minds as to meeting their tax obligations�.
They should also use a lot of tact and be patient in tax administration to make it less cumbersome to collect tax and less painful to the taxpayer, Mr. Aidoo said. MORE
