The Presiding Bishop of the International Godsway Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has sued the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) over “unlawful imposition of taxes on him.”
He has disputed the more than ȼ769,000 in unpaid taxes slapped on him by the GRA on December 18, 2018.
According to the writ, the disputed amount is a four-year accumulation of unpaid taxes between 2014 and 2018.
The taxes were levied on a 21-block property which he rents out as shops and also a hospitality facility, Abroso Guest House Ltd.
The GRA wants him to pay ȼ28,900 in rent taxes over the period and ȼ690,900 in total Value Added Tax (VAT) charged for the period January 1, 2016, to July 31, 2018, from the business operations of Abroso Guest House Limited which GRA believes the pastor owns.
But his legal team, led by Ralph Poku-Adusei in the writ explained, Bishop Obinim has disputed the claims made by the revenue authority.
