Super Plaza, the owners of China Mall in Accra, was subjected to a tax compliance check by the Ghana Revenue Authority’s Domestic Tax Revenue Division (DTRD) Accra Central Area Enforcement Unit.
The activity is a component of GRA’s continuous efforts to guarantee tax compliance and safeguard domestic income.
Important conclusions:
Unauthorised receipts
The crew discovered that Super Plaza was providing receipts that GRA had not authorised. Company representatives were unable to show proof of authorisation or special approval when asked.
Delayed system onboarding
The company claimed to have submitted an application to join the mandatory GRA system, but attributed the delay to technological difficulties. Technical difficulties do not justify a delay of more than a year, according to GRA, which pointed out that the application has been pending since February 2025.
Other findings:
Other compliance problems were also found during preliminary investigations. To compare with the company’s tax returns and look for potential under-declaration, the enforcement team gathered certain documents.
Action taken:
A portion of the warehouse was sealed. Retail activities were permitted to go on. Super Plaza was given a week to resolve the problems and get its tax affairs back on track.
GRA reaffirmed its dedication to making sure all companies abide by Ghana’s tax regulations. The head of the DTRD Enforcement Unit emphasised that in order to encourage openness, responsibility, and voluntary compliance, businesses must get approvals and promptly integrate with GRA systems.
