GCCI and GRA partner to conduct workshop with members
The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) is continuing its collaborative efforts to ensure that members understand the regulatory framework and processes involved in conducting business in Guyana.
On February 18, the Chamber’s Human Resource Management and Capacity Building Committee in partnership with the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) hosted a workshop that was geared towards ensuring businesses have a clear understanding of crucial processes in documentation and tax services.
The GRA’s Communication Officer, Mr. Fabian Clowes; IT Officer, Ms. Elizabeth Bourne; Tax Specialist, Mr. Samdavid Arron; ESERVICES Officer, Mr. Simmeon Kissoon; ESERVICES Officer, Mr. Roland Trotman; Tax Specialist, and Mr. Saisnarine Ramnarine facilitated the session.
The workshop saw participants benefiting from valuable insights and demonstrations in areas including the PAYE submission process, the income tax returns procedures and the advantages of electronic filing, and the use of the recently launched PADNA app which facilitates easy submission and tracking of refunds.
Councillor and Chairperson of the GCCI’s Human Resource Management and Capacity Building Committee, Mrs. Melisa McRae-George iterated the importance of this collaboration in developing the knowledge of members as it relates to taxation. “We are always looking for opportunities to bring training sessions to our members…With the new updates with regards to the PADNA App and the income tax rates, we’ve listened to our members and we took the initiative to reach out to the GRA for guidance and we had a very successful session,” she stated.
