The supervisor at the vehicle valuation unit of Customs headquarters in Accra, Mr Justice N. Magah has sounded caution to people who import vehicles into the country and refuse to use the legal means to register such vehicle to desist from such activities or else get 300 percent fine of the actual duty on the vehicle by Customs when caught up.
He explained that, anybody can bring vehicles from any county to Ghana but must take the vehicle through proper and legal means to register them at any of the customs offices within the country so as to have a peaceful mind in using vehicle.
Mr Magah refuted accusations by some vehicle importers that Custom officers usually over tax them when paying for vehicle duties. He said, most often people provide inaccurate information on their vehicles to customs especially when providing the actual date of manufacturing, people usually provide the date of first registration of the vehicle in the country of origin instead.
The supervisor, vehicle valuation unit of Customs, Mr Magah made these comments when the Ghana Revenue Authority ( GRA ) organized a workshop for the Parliamentary Press corps on the various activities of GRA and Customs and its importance to the state.
