GRA Closes Down Surfline Head Office
The Debt and Management Enforcement Unit of the Ghana Revenue Authority has closed the head office of internet service provider Surfline in Accra for defaulting in tax payment.
The GRA embarked on the exercise in the Greater Accra region to retrieve taxes owed government.
Explaining the reasons behind the action, Acting Assistant Commissioner at the Communications and Public Affairs Department of the GRA, Bobbie Ansah announced that Surfline owes taxes amounting to over 37 million Ghana cedis.
He said before GRA closes any Company for defaulting in their tax obligation, there were several corresponding between the management of the Company and the Authority.
“Several attempts to retrieve the money had proven futile, hence the decision to seal the office and lock it up,” he said.
Workers of the two Companies, who were in their offices at the time of the exercise, were asked to leave.
