GRA exceeds October revenue target, collects GH¢185.5 billion

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has exceeded its revenue collection target for October 2026, raising GH¢185.5 billion against a target of GH¢184.4 billion.

The figures show that the Authority collected GH¢1.1 billion more than expected, putting it on course to meet its annual revenue target of GH¢237 billion.

Commissioner-General of the GRA, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, disclosed the figures at the 15th Ghana Economic Forum in Accra on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

According to him, the improvement in revenue collection is the result of reforms introduced to strengthen tax administration and improve compliance.

“Those figures are the product of reform, not luck,” he stated.

The latest figures represent a significant improvement in the Authority's revenue performance over the past few years.

In 2024, the GRA collected GH¢153 billion, before increasing its collections to GH¢182 billion in 2025. For 2026, the Authority is targeting GH¢237 billion, including collections under the Energy Sector Levies Act (ESLA).

The GRA is also aiming to increase its annual revenue collections to approximately GH¢310 billion by 2028 as part of its long-term revenue mobilisation plans.

The performance highlights the Authority's efforts to strengthen revenue mobilisation to support government spending on public services and development projects.
