Georgetown: The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) says several of its services will now be accessible during the lunch period. This feature will take effect from Monday February 25, 2013 and seeks to alleviate unnecessary congestion at the GRA’s Headquarters located at 200-201 Camp Street, Georgetown, while facilitating those taxpayers who may need to conduct business with the GRA during this time.
Commissioner-General of the GRA, Mr. Khurshid Sattaur noted that this feature will enable taxpayers to better manage their time and to access services in a more convenient manner. Mr. Sattaur also noted that previously, persons wishing to transact business with the GRA had to do so between 8:00hrs to 11:30 hrs and 13:00hrs to 15:30hrs Mondays to Thursdays, while on Fridays, services were accessible from 8:00hrs to 11:30hrs and from 13:00hrs to 14:30hrs.
With the increase in service hours, taxpayers will now be able to access services from 8:00 hrs to 13:30hrs Monday to Thursday and 8:00hrs to 14:30hrs of Fridays. This means that Taxpayers will now be able to utilize the 11:30hrs to 13:00hrs to conduct their business with the agency.
With the introduction of this new time schedule, the Registration & Lodgement, Cashiers, Trade and Miscellaneous Licences, Compliance, Liability, and Estate Duty Sections will be open to members of the public on a continuous basis. Further, it should be noted that all of these services are located on the ground floor of the GRA Headquarters on Camp Street.
The GRA urges taxpayers and all other stakeholders to take advantage of this new facility. Additionally, taxpayers are asked to note that parking facilities are currently available on Waterloo Street bordering the Parade Ground and the Avenues extending from Quamina to New Market Street and systems are in place to ensure that all vehicles are monitored by trained security personnel.
The GRA is constantly working to improve its service to taxpayers and is looking forward to offering even better services in the future.
