The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) yesterday said that it recently uncovered a number of fraudulent practices involving persons applying for various categories of licences.
A GRA release stated that as a result, the agency took “stern disciplinary actions”, including the dismissal of employees.
In its efforts to prevent such practices, GRA informed that the Authority is cautioning members of the general public against colluding with individuals, including GRA officers, “to perpetuate fraud in the course of completing a transaction.” It warned that persons found guilty of such unlawful actions are liable on summary conviction to fines and imprisonment for a maximum of six months, depending on the nature and severity of the offence.
