GRA pushes data-driven tax administration to boost revenue mobilisation

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has said it is deepening the use of data analytics in tax administration, stressing that modern statistical tools will be critical to improving revenue mobilisation, strengthening compliance and supporting evidence-based decision-making.

Questions such as who remains outside the tax net, which sectors are underperforming and where new opportunities for revenue growth exist should be answered through data-driven analysis, she explained.

She added that data should also be used to improve fairness in tax administration by helping the Authority focus enforcement efforts on genuine compliance risks rather than assumptions.
