The Integrated Regional Tax Office (IRTO) of the Guyana Revenue Authority in Bartica has been relocated to a new and more conducive location on the corner of Fifth Avenue and First Street, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said yesterday.
Minister of Finance, Winston Jordan, who commissioned the new facility, said that the re-establishment and relocation of the IRTO is a significant achievement for Bartica.
“I am convinced that this structure will provide both a conducive and convivial atmosphere for staff and the public to conduct their business. I am of the view that it will also serve as a catalyst for taxpayers to be compliant and for the staff to offer the highest quality of consumer services to everyone who needs it,” Jordan said, according to DPI.
GRA’s Commissioner-General (CG), Godfrey Statia told the gathering that there is much to expect with the establishment of this service delivery mechanism.
“The best is yet to come… We have only been here for a couple of weeks and in the coming months, the types of services that will be available to you the citizens of Bartica would be second to none, it will be available here as is available in Georgetown”, he said.
Statia added: “Over the next couple of years every branch that we have opened would have the same service, whether you are from Lethem, or from Bartica, or from Anna Regina, and even Georgetown, any office that you visit, any service you need will be available, you don’t have to go anywhere for it”.
On Tuesday last, another IRTO was commissioned in Mabaruma, Region One.
