GRA launches new, up-graded website

Georgetown – The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) launched its upgraded website, www.gra.gov.gy ,  as part of activities in observance of its 11th anniversary at the City Mall, Regent Street.

GRA’s Commissioner General, Khurshid Sattaur while delivering his remarks noted that at last year’s tenth anniversary observance, a commitment was made to provide better services to tax payers via the use of technology; thus far that has been fulfilled.
 He noted that the website encourages electronic filing while ensuring tax payers are better informed and promotes a closer relationship between the institution and the public. 
Sattaur indicated that it is hoped that the website will aid increases in revenue collection and compliance since the institute has been challenged by Government to collect up to $104B in revenue this year.  
 Application Developer- Information Technology Department, Bibi Khan indicated that the IT department recognised the need for the previous website to be up-graded hence the commencement of the designing for the new website with assistance from the Communication and Tax Advisory Department.
