Key conclusions
The review found that whilst the legal framework is in place, compliance with annual
filing of returns needs improvement and oversight of availability of ownership information
was not sufficiently rigorous, which is likely to have a significant effect on exchange
of information.
While Ghana’s Revenue Authority has sufficient access powers, it did not have appropriate
internal organisational processes to receive and process all the requests in a timely
manner.
Ghana has not demonstrated effective communication with peers, resulting in a fundamental
effect on EOIR in practice in the review period (from 1 October 2013 to 30 September
2016).
