The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has said that it will organise a public auction exercise on December 27 and 28, 2018 at Tema in the Greater Accra Region.
The auction exercise will allow them to sell a number of vehicles and goods which have not been cleared at the ports for too long to the public.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner-General of GRA, Emmanuel Kofi Nti, he said that the auctioning of the overstayed goods and vehicles are part of strategies put in place to make some revenue before the end of the year.
He added that this is in accordance with Sections 93 (1) and 59 (2) of the Customs Act which mandates them to carry out that act.
He indicated further that the auction will be on a cash-down basis and the public will be expected to partake in the activity.
“GRA expects the cooperation and understanding of the public to ensure the success of this auction. The GRA wishes all stakeholders, taxpayers, and the general public the best of the season”, the statement said.
Below are details of the date and location where the goods and vehicles will be auctioned by the GRA Customs Division.
