Speaking with the GNA, Chief Revenue Officer of the Debt Management Compliance and Enforcement Unit, of the GRA, Nathaniel Tetteh, said the documents collected would be assessed to know the services they rendered and the amount they are to pay back to State.

He said all businesses are supposed to register with the Authority to charge VAT on the services they render to their customers and equally give same to the Authority.
