This decision was made following the resignation of the former GRA Board Chair, Tony Oteng-Gyasi, and the removal of former GRA Commissioner-General Ammi­shaddai Owusu-Amoah.

Following these changes, Julie Essiam was appointed as the new GRA Commissioner-General by President Akufo-Addo.

The Ministry of Finance has announced that the newly reconstituted and inaugurated GRA Board will be chaired by Hon. Joe Ghartey.

The Minister of Finance, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam has instructed the new GRA Board to utilize the ongoing digitalization drive to streamline tax administration and reduce reliance on "human interventions".

The new GRA Board has also been tasked to augment ongoing efforts aimed at fully implementing the Integrated Tax Administration System (ITAS); build the capacity of officers; and improve the quality of data analysis for informed decision making.
