GRA denies auctioning vehicles, warns public against fraudulent claims
The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has firmly denied recent reports suggesting its involvement in the auctioning of vehicles. In a statement released on December 11, the GRA described these claims as “false” and emphasized its adherence to established protocols for auctioning vehicles and goods through its Customs Division.
The GRA further cautioned the public against falling victim to fraudulent schemes, urging individuals not to make payments to unauthorized persons or groups referenced in the false reports circulating in the media.
The authority reiterated its commitment to transparency and urged citizens to rely only on official communications for accurate information about its operations.
“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.”
