GRA denies car auctions and cautions the public of false claims.

“The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has sighted a fake media release on a vehicle auction dated December 3, 2024, purported to be coming from the Commissioner-General of the GRA.

“The fake media release bears the signature of the former Commissioner-General, Rev. Dr. Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah but has the name of the current Commissioner-General, Madam Julie Essiam.

“GRA wishes to inform the general public that the notice circulating in the public domain is FAKE.”

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has categorically refuted recent allegations that it is involved in car auctions. The GRA called these allegations "false" in a statement issued on December 11 and stressed that it follows established procedures when it comes to auctioning off cars and other items through its Customs Division.

The GRA also issued a warning to the public about falling for fraudulent schemes, advising them not to pay unapproved individuals or organizations mentioned in the bogus claims that are making the rounds.

The authority reaffirmed its dedication to openness and advised the public to obtain accurate information about its activities solely from official correspondence.
