As part of its audit of the 2018 operations of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), the Audit Office of Guyana has raised concerns about the disposal of Want of Entry vehicles but Commissioner General (CG) Godfrey Statia has assured that the questions are routine and the procedure used has been above board in every case.
A draft of the audit report, seen by Stabroek News, raises questions about more than 100 vehicles advertised for sale between July 2018 and February 2019. It has been sent to the GRA for a response.
Want of Entry vehicles are those for which no entry taxes have been paid by the importer.
