Remission Unit not exempt from audits

–GRA

The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) says its Remission Unit is not exempt from internal/external audits as alleged by a recent media report.

In a press release the GRA said the Unit, which has the primary function of dispensing with the remission of taxes to qualifying persons, has been a part of its administration since 2003. It said the Fiscal and Financial Accountability Act of 2003 paved the way for its establishment and like all of its other units and departments it is subject to internal and external audits.
