The GRA’s Domestic Tax Revenue Division halted operations at the UnderBridge event center in East Legon because it had not registered for Value Added Tax (VAT).
The government took this measure as part of a larger effort to prevent businesses from dodging their fair share of taxes.

He added that the action by the firms contributes to revenue loss to the state.
