Effective today, he advised declarants who are in possession of payment receipts or assessment notices to present these documents with some form or identification at the Revenue Accounting Section of Customs House, Main Street, Georgetown.

Those who have not received assessment notices for their lodged declarations are also asked to present their lodgments slips to the Entry Processing Unit – Query Desk to confirm the status of their entries.

The GRA apologized for any inconvenience caused.
