Unpaid Taxes “Very Frightening”, Says Hon. Nana Osei-Adjei

Parliamentary hearing reveals massive tax collection shortfall as GRA reports recovery progress

The Member of Parliament for New Juaben North Constituency, Hon. Nana Osei-Adjei, has expressed alarm over what he described as “very frightening” amounts of unpaid Value Added Tax (VAT) owed to the state.

The outstanding debt totals more than GH¢403 million, plus an additional US$4 million that the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has yet to collect from various entities. The MP expressed his dissatisfaction with the recovery rate and admonished the Authority to clear the backlog before the next audit.

The MP’s statement highlighted the weak recovery of unpaid taxes in the country. His concerns were raised during Monday’s Public Hearing of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on August 25, 2025, as part of the committee’s examination of the Auditor General’s Report for 2024.

Hon. Nana Osei-Adjei later said he will be on the heels of the tax authority to do the needful so that Ghanaians would benefit.

In response to Hon. Osei-Adjei’s questioning, GRA Commissioner General Anthony Kwasi Sarpong provided an update on the Authority’s collection efforts. He reported that significant progress had been made, with the GRA successfully recovering more than GH¢232 million of the outstanding GH¢403 million debt.

“Overall, the GRA has recovered 60.31% of the amounts owed,” Sarpong told PAC, adding that GRA continues to pursue the remaining outstanding amounts through various mechanisms.

Parliamentary Oversight

PAC serves as one of Parliament’s primary accountability mechanisms, scrutinising government financial management and the implementation of audit recommendations.

The current series of public hearings ran from Monday, August 19, through Monday, August 25, 2025.

The committee is scheduled to reconvene on Monday, September 29, 2025, to continue its oversight work on the 2024 Auditor General’s findings.
