The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has set an ambitious target of raising at least GH¢310 billion in annual revenue by 2028, nearly double the amount collected in 2024, as it intensifies efforts to strengthen domestic revenue mobilisation.
Commissioner-General Anthony Kwasi Sarpong disclosed the target during a stakeholder engagement in Accra, describing it as a critical component of Ghana’s national development agenda.
According to him, GRA collected GH¢153 billion in revenue in 2024, marking a significant milestone in the Authority’s history.
The figure increased to GH¢182 billion in 2025, while the Authority is targeting GH¢225 billion in 2026 as part of a steady growth trajectory aimed at reaching GH¢310 billion by the end of 2028.
Mr Sarpong said the target reflects GRA’s determination to significantly accelerate revenue growth within a relatively short period.
“Something that it has taken 15 years to do, we are aspiring to do it in four years,” he stated.
However, he stressed that achieving the target would depend largely on the growth and success of Ghanaian businesses.
“It is only when your businesses do well and flourish that GRA can take part in this flourishing business and give it back to the state,” he said.
The Commissioner-General described businesses as critical partners in the revenue mobilisation effort, noting that economic growth, business expansion, and tax compliance would be key to achieving the Authority’s ambitious goals.
He added that digital reforms such as the Integrated Tax Administration System (ITAS) are expected to improve efficiency, reduce compliance burdens, and strengthen revenue collection mechanisms.
Mr Sarpong expressed confidence that with stronger partnerships between government, businesses, and taxpayers, Ghana can achieve its revenue targets and secure the resources needed to fund infrastructure, social services, and national development priorities.
